Robert Pattinson Wins .@FANGORIA Chainsaw Award for 2020 | #TheLighthouse
Finally, somebody recognising the incredible talent that is Robert Pattinson. He should have more awards under his belt for this role, but clearly talent isn’t what’s recognised for some of those other awards. Fingers crossed The Independent Spirit Awards are wiser today.
New interview with Vanity Fair. Rob talks about The Lighthouse, Dior Homme and working out.
Partway through The Lighthouse, the Robert Eggers film about two keepers jostling over control of the flame and their own wits, we get the distinct sense that Robert Pattinson
is most comfortable on the fringes of comfort. Drunken howling,
ferocious masturbation, wheelbarrow marches that could only be
marginally less grueling on the player than the played: Pattinson,
rather insanely, seems to relish it all. Willem Dafoe, as the elder wickie, sets his wild eyes ablaze, but we half-wonder if Pattinson carries his unhinged zaniness off-camera, too.
“There’s
definitely a part of me that is sort of perverse,†Pattinson says in a
call from London, a hint of thrill in his voice. Take, for one, the
dominant smell on set. “Lots of rotting fish everywhere. Of all the
sensory parts of that experience, the smell was probably the worst,†he
recalls, more as qualification than complaint. “I like it when things
are just kind of grimy the whole time.â€
The actor’s newest role, then—playing the beau in a Dior Homme eau de toilette campaign,
released today—is quite the foil. In the 45-second spot, directed by
the French production duo The Blaze, Pattison plays it straight. As in,
Fantasy Heterosexual Male. He wordlessly orchestrates under-table
makeouts; he sweeps a protective arm on a sketchy walk home; he spoons
shirtless on a white shag rug. Selling fragrance always is about selling
sex (his previous campaign
included). But the cologne’s press notes dare you to blush. “The new
Dior Homme is crafted from a block of frank, sensual wood,†it reads.
Well, then! It’s the olfactory equivalent of the carved ivory mermaid
that serves as the lust object in The Lighthouse. Or maybe it’s the light itself: warm and enveloping, cloaking you even when you’re naked.
“In the last five or six years, I’ve almost exclusively played
weirdos,†Pattinson says with a laugh. “It was almost a relief to be
like, ‘At least I’ve got Dior coming out, so I don’t look like I’m just
completely enveloped by the dark side yet.’ †That embrace of off-kilter
characters—in the hands of directors like Werner Herzog, Claire Denis, and the Safdie brothers—was a pendulum swing away from the Twilight saga. With this summer’s Tenet from Christopher Nolan and next year’s anticipated The Batman,
the recent days of relative anonymity seem numbered. All the more
reason to reflect on simple pleasures, coping mechanisms, and things
that tickle the nose.
