Before Robert Pattinson auditioned for the part of Edward the vampire in Twilight, he took a quarter of a Valium to see where it would take him. He got the part. He had no idea what he’d signed up for: he might have been aware that Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga had attracted 17m readers worldwide and that the Mormon mother from Arizona was the biggest publishing phenomenon since JK Rowling. What he didn’t see coming were the teen girls who’d fallen in love with the sensitive, tortured Edward of Meyer’s books. First they revolted online, calling Pattinson a gargoyle – and worse. Then they changed their minds, fell in love with him en masse and refused to leave him alone.

I WOULD BE 1 OF THOSE GIRLZ IF I HAD THE $$$ TO FOLLOW HIM!!!
HA JK I’M SO KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOME OF THOSE GIRLZ GET CRAZY!!!!!!! I WOULD BE SCARED 2 LEAVE THE HOUSE IF I WERE HIM.
I would follow Rob anywhere.He is gourges and hot.but im not that obssed i mean i love him but other girlz are crazy wjen it comes to rob
sorry ment to say when
after seeing twilight, my husband has really tried to be more like “edward,” he sees things differently now and truly tries to be more sensitive and romantic!!! and that makes me love edward cullen more1!
i feel bad for rob, fans chasing him and making him feel all paranoid. have you guys heard that ashley greene wen ton her twitter and asked fans to tone down the frenzy a lil because rob is really wants to have a normal life. i have to admit, if i had people follow my every move and wait for outside my hotel room, i would be a lil scared too.
lets try to tone down the madness to a civilized level, if there is such a level.
Okay, I hated this story. The reporter was a bitch. She made Rob sound like he was hell bent against the fans (which I know he isn’t-he’s just overwhelmed), and it makes him sound like he doesn’t like any of the films he has done. I’m glad I’ve listened enough about Rob that I know that this story was bull.
Rob just has a self deprecating humor, and that extends to anything he does, including his acting. It’s just his personality and probably his way of dealing with all the attention, being that he is so introverted. The media blows everything he says out of proportion. Also, fangirls, tone it down!! My god, it’s getting ridiculous! You all should be arrested for stalking. You cannot chase a person down an ally. Come on! If I saw him in public, I’d probably wave if he were looking, and keep on walking. He’s not a damn monkey in the zoo to be stared and pointed at. How would you feel?!
I have to agree with the above ^^ it must be terrifying being chased down alleys by fans.. :S
And as well what is this with him being called a gargoyle and worse??
I don’t think people ever called Rob a gorgyle and worse (just a guess). Rob is a good actor and I like him, but I don’t LIKE him! So, I feel sorry for him!
LEAVE HIM ALONE PEOPLE!
I agree 100% with Lisa…
so do i jess ^^. i mean seriously…of course im madly in luv with rob, but underneath it all, hes just like any other guy. and he should totally be able to have a life outside of Edward. fans r getting waaaay out of control and im beginning to feel sry 4 him. we should tone it down a notch. Agreed?
i feel horrible for rob. I doubt he ever gets peace from all the screaming delirous girls. Not only that, but they are not in love with rob, there in love with the amazing character, he portrays. Just bak the hell off for a little while, i gurantee he will still be there if you don ‘t stalk him.
totaly agreed
lol. i can’t stop thinking about that “Handjob” name thing.lol. Oh man. that was a lil childish, but very hugely funny so its ok. idk what a masters is either.lol. but that interviewer was a bit of bitch, no wonder rob would lose his temper w/ her probably hounding him w/ ? he doesn’t want 2 hear. And yea, i agree that the fangirls need 2 cut him some slack, they have him hiding out in a windowless room like he’s quarantined or something.
I’ve only got one thing to add to this discussion
Anybody else wanna punch the interviewer?
And HA, Clive Handjob…lol….
oh and fangirls are seriousllllly nuts now. I mean yea, I’m tech. a ‘fangirl’ but holllly crap, some of them need a prozac or something, sheesh…
poor rob….but i cant deny the fact that im one of the people who would be stalking him if given the chance….hahahaha….i know its wrong but sometimes i just cant help it!!!i would want my friends to tie me in a chair if they have to…im scared of myself most of the time…this is completely a ROBSESSION already…help!!!
wow i feel so bad… they called him a GARGOYLE? what is wrong with some people? bet they regret it now. bet those same people are now chasing him across main streets. HA.
The media always takes things and make them seem extreme when really its just a lil something. I wouldnt be one of the girls that follow him. ya it would be great to meet such an amazing actor but i am not going to stalk them like they are a piece of meat. It was a good interview though. Much love to cast and crew!
hehe seems im the only consistent person out there. at first rob wasnt my #1 edward and that stays true today as well. i didnt randomly fall deeply in love with him like every1 else. i didnt think he was a gargoyle and i still dont. i just never considered him the worlds sexiest man like ever1 else currently does
i agree w/ u^^KELLAN FAN. 2 b honest Edward isn’t even really my absolute fav character, i luv them all but it’s pretty much a tie w/ alice and jasper. and i don’t really think Rob is hot, but mayb thats just bcuz he’s not really the type i would go for. just my opinon, he’s not ugly, but not exactly the hottest guy on earth 2 me.hehe
CRYSTAL AKA LEAH
yea i know what ur saying but i am a huge edward fan just not rob
im not one of those girlz but i am in mad love with edward and rob…sorri…love you!11
whatever rob is not a gargoyle he is so goregous its insane and i was inlove with edward even befroe i knew who was going to be playing him and when i found out rob was playing him it just made me like twilight so much more i love all the characters and wouldn’t change any of them they are perfect
TEAM EDWARD <3
I hate that he feels like he has to hide from everyone, but I think he’s right, the more he tries to disguise himself the more noticeable he his. I think if he would just try to down play it a little bit he would be more happy. You know it’s like an unfriendly dog, if you run they are going to chase you, but if you just walk calmly, they will probably just leave you alone.
read an interview with robert pattinson in which he says he reads all these websites.poor man. im doing finals but denying that horrible reality by reading the twilight books because I am the world’s biggest procrastinator and then I picked up on all the hype about pattinson online. why would anyone want to be famous? what a miserable existence. how surreal and sick must it be to read all this crap that absolute randomers are saying about you, to know that total strangers have really strong opinions about you and your personality and your life. sick and wrong. poor man. the internet is awful.
also, he said he’s paranoid about being stabbed. i love that honesty. people that famous must live in such a demented little bubble in which any sort of normal approach to daily life is wildly inappropriate. all the stalking and papparazzi. could it really be worth it? this sort of attention would turn anyone into an absolute psycho, never mind someone so young. celebrity is so strange. i prefer the real world! join me!
(and yes i get the irony that i too am passing comment on the life of someone i don’t kno, but still, i think i have a point!)
I like Edward hes just luvly in the books! I do not assosiate Edward with Rob. Even though i did watch the film first. Who wants to waste their time running after a man? just coz hes famous? how sad! like he wants strangers to come up to him and touch him! eugh that would freak me out big time likes!
I needed the perception and here’s where I found it.
