Kyle & Jackie O from Sydney’s 2Day FM spoke with Ashley Greene yesterday about her involvement in New Moon and also asked her to confirm whether all the casting rumours are true. Kyle also asks Ashley what Rob Pattison (get it right Kyle) is really like and I think you will enjoy Ashley’s response. Well Kyle – sorry to disappoint – there is nothing bad about Rob (not that we are biased).  Unfortunately the file is too big and won’t let me download – so you can listen to it here.
Let’s face it – none of us will be surprised by this news. Amanda Bell from Examiner confirms that Rob has just won the Bravo A List Breakout Star Award for his portrayal of Edward Cullen. And I have to agree with her comment that some fans may consider it an insult since we knew he was a star long before Eddie came along. However, it’s great to see Rob reaping in the rewards and undoubtedly this will be one of many many more to come his way. You can read the full article here.
ET posted a short, 8 seconds clip of Rob talking about his ‘New Moon’ experience to whet our appetite before they release a longer version this Thursday. For some reason, I can’t embed the video on the site. Please click on the picture to go to ET’s site and watch the video.
Amanda Bell from Examiner interviewed Carlo Dusi about Little Ashes and asked him, amongst other things, about his involvement in Rob’s selection as Salvador Dalie and what made Rob perfect for the role. This is what Carlo had to say:
“Robert had been on my radar for some time, as I had actually got him to read for a role in a pilot for a feature film that I made in 2006, and while he was too young for that particular role I had already been extremely impressed by his screen presence and his acting ability. When our dates for the shoot of Little Ashes were confirmed and we went back into the market to find our Salvador Dali’ in Britain, he was immediately one of our shortlist, and his reading for the role left us all in no doubt that he was the right person for the role. Of course no-one could have imagined at the time how his career would have soared so soon after our shoot, but we could all tell that there was a very special quality to him, as well as huge talent and integriy as an actor.Â
…
Finally, Robert is himself an incredibly intense, artistic and complex character whose intelligence immediately tapped into both the insecure side of Dali’s personality as well as his flamboyance, and the arc that he managed to create for Dali’s journey during the film is a real testament to his craft as an actor.”

Oliver Irving, the director of HOW TO Be, talked to Radar Online about working with Rob on the movie. Here’s a snippet on what he said:
Irving was a big fan of Rob’s from the minute he walked into the audition. “We were looking for someone who would be able to take responsibility for playing this big part in a way. Rob just got it a lot more. He was actually very un-pretentious,†Irving remembered. “He would laugh at himself and I remember when Rob came in he asked questions about the script and I realized that he actually read the script and got it. We’d start playing with the scene and I’d call him in to work with other actors and we just knew straight away that it would work.â€
The article also mentions what it’s like for Alisa Arnah (the actress who played his love interest, Jessica) to work with him. Apparently, she didn’t like him very much!?! To read the whole article please click here.

Poor Kellan – Bliss Magazine interviewed him at the Eternal Twilight Convention and ambushed him for his reaction on Rob’s 2003 photoshoot for them.  Klutz I hope your acting on New Moon is a tad better than your feigned surprise that Rob was a model!  Thanks to renzos06 from IMDb Boards for the heads up and rusalkas79 for the YouTube post.
