You could easily think that Robert Pattinson is talking about his relationship with Twilight star Kristen Stewart but surprisingly he isn’t! So, then who is he talking about?!

Robert caught up with the Sydney Morning Herald to talk about his upcoming flick, The Rover. He told the SMH, “It’s very odd. There’s something strange and disturbing about the whole relationship.”

Silly Robsten fans! Rob is talking about the relationship between the two characters in his new film, which finished shooting on Saturday, March 16.

Robert Pattinson Has Transformed Since ‘Twilight’

Rob comes quite a way from his role as vampire Edward Cullen that brought him to fame. In The Rover, he plays the role of a character named Rey, who is caught in an uneasy, dangerous alliance with a stranger, Eric.

Not knowing if he could fit the bill for anything other than Edward Cullen, Rob said, “I don’t know if I’m necessarily any good at sculpting a career or anything. But I know what I want to do.”

Rob doesn’t realize his amazing talent for acting but others do, which is what landed him his post-Twilight roles in Bel Ami and Cosmopolis. David Michod, director of The Rover, heard of Pattinson’s talent through the grapevine.

Michod was thrown off by Rob. He was “really smart, and not the sort of pretty boy I was expecting. As soon as it was time to start testing… he was my first choice, by a long way.”

Rob’s self-depricating personality is what started his passion for the role. Rob said, “it was an original script and it was one of those parts where you read it and you think, ‘I’d love to do this, but I know I’m never going to get it.’”

Clearly, Rob is a very talented actor. If only we could let him know that every day!

Are you excited to see Rob’s new movie, Hollywoodlifers?

The Rover is a far cry from Twilight – Robert Pattinson is making sure of that. The new picture from the set of the movie shows Rob getting rough and tumble… and we like what we see!

Robert Pattinson: Down & Dirty In ‘The Rover’

The new still, taken and posted by still photographer Matt Nettheim, is of the The Rover’s two main characters, Rob and Guy Pearce, in a bit of a scuffle. A scuffle that Rob appears to have lost, judging by the gun in his face.

Even though he got his butt kicked, we’re liking this side of R-Patz. He’s like a million times manlier than those underwear modeling photos!

Robert Pattinson: ‘The Rover’ Is A New Challenge

The new picture is just further confirmation of what we already knew — that this role is one of the grittiest Rob has ever played. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, the movie’s director David Michod said that Rob’s character is “quite troubled and damaged,” before adding that he’s also a “beautiful and naive soul.”

Overall, David is calling the movie “chillingly authentic and menacing” Rob has played challenging, off-beat characters before, but we still totally think of him as Edward Cullen. Maybe playing a down and dirty, complex character like this can change that. Our mouths are already watering with excitement to see this!

What about you, HollywoodLifers?

Robert Pattinson‘s costars have been raving about his performance on set, and now his director is getting in on the action! In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Rover director David Michôd is calling Rob’s character “quite troubled and damaged.” What else does he have to say? Read on for all the latest!

‘The Rover’ Director Talks Robert Pattinson’s New Role

Rob is bringing his brooding demeanor to a grim, new flick, set in Australia in the near future. Director David Michôd is calling this movie as a whole “chillingly authentic and menacing,” according to an Entertainment Weekly interview. Rob’s authenticity in his role really helps round out the entire feel of the thriller. David explains that, with Rob’s character, we are seeing “a quite troubled and damaged, but beautiful and naïve, soul.”

Guy Pearce Was Excited To Work With Robert Pattinson

Rob’s The Rover costar, Guy Pearce, also thinks that Rob’s natural personality makes him a perfect match for this thrilling role. “He just seems like a bright and sensitive kid, so I just think he’s really right for the role,” Guy told HollywoodLife.com exclusively in January. Opposite to Rob’s quietly powerful role, “you’ve got a really dark, dangerous, murderous person in Guy’s character,” David explains. The guys’ energies clearly play well off each other.

Rob Looks Happy In New Video

In Rob’s first video since the split with K-Stew, he seems in great spirits as he wishes the 13 finalists from Tropfest good luck. Rob is wearing a t-shirt that says Bad Religion, a beanie, and bit of his typical scruff.

Kristen Is Sad Without Rob

We told you that Kristen has been spending a lot of time with Marcus Foster, one of Rob’s best friends.

“She is sad that Marcus (Foster) has left LA,” the source says. “He makes her feel close to Rob and brings her a lot of comfort. I think he also reminds her of all the fun times she used to have with Rob and the whole music scene.”

“Kristen has no immediate plans to visit Rob in Australia,” the friend adds. “The two of them do speak, but not as much as she would like to.”

Do you think that Rob is happy to be getting space from Kristen? It’s clear that he’s keeping busy and not letting his relationship drama get in the way.

Robert Pattinson is swapping his fangs for some rotting teeth! The once super sexy vampire was seen on the set of his new film The Rover in southern Australia, where he has lost his beautiful hair and jaw dropping good looks to rotten teeth and a skinhead! What will Kristen Stewart think of Rob’s new look?

Robert Pattinson’s Rotting Teeth On The Set Of ‘The Rover’

Rob, 26, was spotted filming on the set of The Rover on March 5 with his co-star Guy Pearce, where he debuted this highly unsexy new look. The former Twilight hunk rocked a skin head, rotting teeth and an over sized T shirt and he was totally unrecognizable from his former sexy self!

Rob and Guy play petty thieves in the film, where they were seen filming dangerous car scenes.

The movie tells the story of Eric [Guy], a lone traveler in the Australian desert who is forced to pursue a ruthless gang of criminals after they steal his car, according to The Daily Mail. Along the way, Eric enlists the help of Reynolds [Robert], described as ‘the naïve and injured junior member of the gang’ who was left behind after a robbery.

Sounds like a crazy movie!

We wonder what Rob’s estranged girlfriend Kristen thinks of his unsexy new look! We bet this softens the blow of Rob’s trial separation!

Robert Pattinson appears to be unfazed by his trial separation with Kristen Stewart. In a new video, created as a greeting for Topfest 2013, Rob laughs, smiles and seems to be having a great time on the set of The Rover with Guy Pearce.

“I’m Robert Pattinson,” the actor says as he greets the viewers.  Unbeknownst that he was to keep talking, Rob says, “Oh s**t, am I continuing?” He then bursts into laughter, appearing to not have a worry in the world.

“We collectively wish that we could be there enjoying all the fabulous Topfest films with you tonight.” Unfortunately, Rob is in the South Australian desert shooting The Rover.

“Have a great night and good luck to the sixteen finalists,” Rob finishes.

We know that Rob and Kristen have not seen each other since the hunky Brit flew to Australia to start filming his new movie. We do think, however, that Kristen needs to fly to Australia in order to save her relationship. Time is of the essence. We came up with ten reasons why she needs to go there now, or risk losing her relationship with Rob forever. His happy demeanor can’t be a good sign.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Does Rob look happy in Australia?

We love it when our favorite hunk, Robert Pattinson, is on the slate of presenters at an awards show — it lessens the sting from his lack of nominations! Because of this, we’re totally bummed by a new report that says Rob, 26, won’t be in attendance at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on Feb. 24!

It turns out that Rob’s obligations to his new project, The Rover, will be keeping the English hunk in the Australian outback, according to E! News’ Marc Malkin. The columnist writes, “While Pattinson fans have been hopeful that they’d see their fave star in Los Angeles for the Oscars, I’m told filming will keep him away from this year’s festivities.” Bummer!

Robert Pattinson’s Australian Antics

Rob’s been keeping quite busy down under, with his crew filming is mostly remote and desolate towns on the outskirts of Flinders Ranges, but it’s not been all work. The Twilight actor was had a run-in with police after being caught riding a bike without a helmet!

“Yes that is the case [that he was cautioned],” a representative with the SA Police told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He will not be fined, it is just a simple caution. We had a chat with him and told him that it is a requirement to wear a helmet while cycling a pushbike. It’s no biggie.”

As for how the hunk was caught, it turns out it was a pesky fan! “Someone took a picture of him when he was out cycling so that is how we knew,” the officer says. “If he does it again, he will be fined.”

Are you bummed that Rob won’t be at this year’s Oscars, HollywoodLifers?

The first images of Robert Pattinson on the Australian set of his new film The Rover have made their way to the Internet, revealing that the Twilight hunk has had his hair shaved down into a sexy buzz cut! Rob’s new look is one of his sexiest yet — these new pics must be driving girlfriend Kristen Stewart crazy while they’re separated!

The new pics of Rob, 26, catching the heartthrob filming in a desolate region of the Southern Flinders Ranges, just outside of Adelaide, made their way online on Feb. 4. In the photos, the former Edward Cullen is getting roughed up by another actor during a fight sequence, but he manages to still look sexy with his short hair and new scruffy look!

Now that Rob’s commitment to the Twilight film series is completely over, it was time for the sexy star to shake up his image — and this new hair style does just that! After years of watching him play Edward, we’ve come to associate Rob with a particular style, so it’s great to see him shed that identity, while not sacrificing the sexy!

Robert Pattinson’s Shaved Head Driving Kristen Stewart Wild?

I can only imagine what seeing these photos is doing to Kristen, 23, who’s stuck stateside enduring a trial separation from her beau! It must be torture to see the man you love — the man you’re only begrudgingly “separated” from at his request — look so sexy while he’s away from you. Poor Kristen!

If this new look is a sign of things to come, it looks like we’re about to enter a whole new era of sexy in Rob’s career. I, for one, couldn’t be more excited!

Do you think Rob is looking sexier than ever, HollywoodLifers?
