Robert Pattinson Can’t Connect To Playing A Cheater In ‘Cosmopolis’

Dory Larrabee — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 14:28:18 +0000

Robert Pattinson admitted he couldn’t understand why his character would cheat in his film ‘Cosmopolis,’ just weeks after his own girlfriend Kristen Stewart was caught cheating. Keep reading to see what Rob said about playing this promiscuous character!

Although Robert Pattinson told a reporter that the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal is ”dissociated” from his new film, there are similarities — mainly that Rob’s character cheats on his wife in the movie — and Rob can’t fathom those actions in real life.

“I couldn’t hear the voice of the character at all. There was nothing,” Rob admitted. His character cheats on his wife with two different women. Rob has previously admitted he doesn’t understand why people cheat, to Vanity Fair. “There is one thing I’ve never understood: why people cheat … My parents met when my mom was 17 and my father 25, they are still together and seem very happy. I grew up believing that you can be together all of your life.”

In the new interview, Rob says about Cosmopolis: “It was scary to say yes to something which you didn’t know what it was. I knew it was interesting, I knew there was something special but I had no idea how to do it or what I could add to it. But when you start saying no to [director David] Cronenberg because you don’t think it’s good enough, it’s a stupid decision to make.”

Rob also said that Cosmopolis “changed the way I see myself.”

Robert Pattinson: How I Feel About Having Sex In ‘Cosmopolis’

Billy Nilles — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 02:23:05 +0000

Rob reveals what was on his mind during his extensive sex scene in ‘Cosmopolis’ during his MTV interview with Josh Horowitz — and it’s not as sexy as you’d think! Read on for details.

Robert Pattinson continued his Cosmopolis press tour on Thursday, Aug. 16 by sitting down with MTV’s Josh Horowitz for MTV First: Robert Pattinson. During the one-on-one chat, Rob discussed the extensive sex scene he’s a part of in the film, and how he didn’t get to plan for it!

“In the script, they weren’t having sex, it was after,” Rob said. “They finish having sex when the scene happens, and David [Cronenberg, the director] told me that morning. He was like, ‘It would be more interesting.’ So even the dialogue, everything about it changes completely, ’cause we’re, like, talking about the other security guard. It becomes funnier as well.”

Rob, 26, explained that the on-the-fly scene left a lot to be determined, and he decided where he should, err, climax. “There’s the mechanics of the sex scene. Where does it climax? You’re trying to figure that out,” Rob says. “There’s six pages of dialogue. That was my idea, where to climax. I had the idea of climaxing and saying, ‘Do you find this interesting?’ That’s a cool line.”

Rob added that they had to do the scene in just one take, during which he said, “I’m trying to hide my belly!” with a laugh. Aww! Rob’s so cute!

Are you excited to see Rob in Cosmopolis, HollywoodLifers?

Robert Pattinson: I Would Never Do Porn — Video

Hollywood Life Staff — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 18:27:51 +0000

Robert Pattinson isn’t scared to act out a steamy sex scene on the silver screen, but he would never actually make it his real job — if you know what we mean! Read on for more details!

Robert Pattinson has had his fair share of sex scenes throughout his career: Twilight with Bella, Bel Ami with several women, and now in Cosmopolis with two lucky ladies. And while he appears to be a pro at it, the Twilight heartthrob says he would never do the unthinkable — porn!

In an interview with with The Associated Press, Rob, 26, said there’s no way he would do porn.

“I mean it depends who the director is, it depends what the reason is for it, I wouldn’t be particularly comfortable doing straight up porn,” he said on Aug. 13 at the NYC premiere of Cosmopolis.

However, he went on to say that the sex scenes in Cosmopolis were a little more “complicated.” Hmm! Well, we’d never want him to stop taking his clothes off on the big screen!

Robert Pattinson: ‘Happy’ On Night Out After Kristen Stewart Affair

Russ Weakland — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:44:52 +0000

Rob was nervous for his public debut after K-Stew’s cheating scandal, but he was SO happy with how things went! Only HollywoodLife.com has all of the EXCLUSIVE details!

New York City was rocked on August 13 by Robert Pattinson‘s first public appearances since Kristen Stewart was caught being unfaithful. Even after all the buildup, Rob thinks that both his Daily Show interview and Cosmopolis red carpet appearance went VERY smoothly!

Rob, 26, was thrilled with both the premiere and his TV segment, a source close to him tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

“Rob thought it was going to go a lot worse than originally expected, both on the red carpet and with Jon Stewart,” our source said. “He felt that Jon was the ‘epitome of class’ in how he dealt with the interview, and everything else on the red carpet was very controlled to his liking. He is still very anxious for his other interviews, but believes the hard part is done — that was getting out there yesterday for the first time to face the crowds and media. He is aware that he will probably be asked the K-Stew question on Good Morning America point blank, and he is ready to take the high road when that happens. He is avoiding as much as possible to make his statements about the subject publicly because he doesn’t want to fall in the same trap Kristen fell into when she released her statement. He is adamant on keeping things that are important with the situation to himself.”

Kristen Stewart: The Real Reason She Dropped Out Of ‘Cali’?

Chloe Melas — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:35:51 +0000

In a recent interview in ‘Women’s Wear Daily,’ Kristen revealed that getting into her ‘Cali’ role would mean she’d have to look like a ‘stripper’ — Do you think she had second thoughts on playing such a raunchy role?

Kristen Stewart was so excited when talking about her upcoming movie role in Cali. She told WWD that she was going to start working out to prepare for the role and that she was going to looking like a “porn star.”

“I’m going to get into the best shape of my life,” Kristen said. “I’m going to look like a stripper. I’m going to look like a porn star.”

The movie was set to be directed by Nick Cassavetes, and was about a couple who get involved with really strange people and then have to find a way to survive.

Kristen dropped out of Cali on August 8. Do you think that after the cheating scandal with Rupert Sanders, Kristen felt like this movie wasn’t good for her image?

HollywoodLife.com reached out to Kristen’s rep for comment and we’re waiting to hear back.
