Details interview and photo shoot with Robert Pattinson
Posted on 13. Feb, 2010 by Amanda31 in News
Rob graces the cover of the March issue of Details magazine following the much talked about and long awaited photo shoot and interview. The lengthy interview includes Rob talking about dealing with fame, his thoughts on being an actor, what attracted him to his role in Remember Me, his experience with a particular elephant while in discussions to star in Water for Elephants, and a lot more. Here’s a brief excerpt:
Rob’s hunger is more than merely metaphorical. He orders two entrees—the mini beef burgers with tomato-and-onion relish and the mini chicken burgers with mango chutney—along with another pint. “I eat so much, I’m like a compulsive eater. I’ve been eating room service, and I’m always really worried about it, so I choose like six things on the menu and eat them all.”
He doesn’t want to miss anything, which implies a hint of regret. He didn’t always want to be an actor. He modeled. He’s a talented guitarist and keyboard player who has toyed with following his older sister Lizzy into pop music. But he’s a serious type, and his most serious aspirations involved political speech writing. “It’s fascinating. You’d have two or three minutes to affect someone. Make them hear you. Get the message out and maybe it will echo. I quite enjoyed doing press for the first Twilight, because there was a similarity. But after a bit I was ladling it out. If you want people to listen to you, you’d better have something to say. I felt a responsibility to be fascinating. You’re bargaining with the audience. Is this enough for them? And that affects the way you look at art.”
Art. It’s illogical to think he’s not allowed to have ideas about it merely because he has helped a lot of people make a lot of money.
“Before, I felt like I couldn’t break through anything, including myself. And now it feels a bit as though I’ve climbed along the side of my brain and am at least looking in. But I know it will take me at least another 10 years before I’m remotely satisfied with anything I do. But with acting you keep trying in the hopes you might be . . . great. But then I think, does wanting to be good or even great, or even just wanting to make art, cheapen the experience?”

Okay, so I’m thinking he was just being silly and going for the shock treatment again, as he customarily does, when he made the statement regarding certain female anatomy. I do hope he’s okay. Poor thing!

I love Rob and think its wonderful that he can be so candid, and so evasive at the same time. His now so famous “vagina” has already be misinterpreted and twisted in many media outlets, just like when talked so much about his lack of hygine. Most fans of Rob understand his sense of humor, however the average person does not. So many have already come to the conclusion that he is gay. Rob is a big star and he really needs to think before he speaks.

For goodness sake he was kidding about hating a
certain female body part. Joke Joke got it.
He has shaved for Bel Ami…pics are out.
It’s obvious that he is very comfortable around
women ; having two older sisters will do that to a guy.
Detail is a mans magazine if he felt that way about
the models he just would not have done the shootl
By the way liked that the gals used what God gave
them ie no enhancements. It was a very candid
interview which is one of the reasons I look forward
to anything he has to say.

I read this interview and was very disappointed. Pictures were in very poor taste and actual interview was kind of disturbing. I’m sensing all kinds of fall out from this. I sure hope that I’m wrong.

knowing how the media loves controversy, I’m sensing a lot of fall out from this too. Summit better start doing damage control before it affects Remember Me. I get it cause I understand Rob’s humor, but most people in the US takes everything LITERALLY.

i really did not like this details photoshoot or the comments rob made. it made him sound like a female hater. and there are too many of those in the world.
i think he needs to go to bootcamp or something for media training. 2 years ago he came across as charming and lovely. i don’t know what happened.
i’m a yank living overseas and where i am the newspapers and t.v. stations are having a field day with the i’m allergic to vaginas quote. it’s the only thing people are talking about.

This interview was for a men’s magazine and as such, the questions and the photos were skewed towards that demographic. Look at Rob and Kristen’s interviews and photos for Harper’s Bazaar. Very different photos, very different style of interview. Rob has a very dry and cheeky English sense of humor. Watch ANY episode of Monty Python or Benny Hill and you will totally get that he is being devilishly clever and not at all disparaging of women. If anything, the joke is a bit more self-depricating. But the media just likes a controversial sound bite and that is all they will publish. I totally got Rob’s humor in the Interview PLUS I saw his incredible intelligence and humble nature. It’s too bad that some people only read things at surface value.

daniel radcliffe and rupert grint have never made such comments and last i checked they’re both british. this is not british humor. this is bad taste. all his fans are female. it’s a female hating comment.
if rob doesn’t realize (or didn’t realize) that it’s a female hating comment, maybe he should sit down with a psycho-analyst and let the person explain what his words really mean.
2 years ago, he was very charming. i so wonder what stephenie thinks. the beautiful thing about twilight has been that it’s this generational female bonding thing. my friend has been able to bond with her new tween step daughter due to their mutual love of the books. and i have seen this over and over again. 99.9% of twilight fans are female.
this is the problem of making movies. the author loses control. j.k. rowlings was lucky that her books got picked up by a big company.
