"This is made not for little girls who kiss posters goodnight, but for those who lick them." - Empire Magazine on the Robsessed dvd.
Robert Pattinson is an English actor who first rose to prominence with his role in the
Film of the Book,
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory before achieving fame almost overnight as Edward Cullen in the film adaptations of
Twilight. He's working on a few other projects as well.
This actor provides examples of:
- Abhorrent Admirer: He can't even go to a store to purchase underwear these days without drawing crowds
. - Big Ol' Eyebrows: Look at 'em!
- Biting-the-Hand Humor: More like just plain biting the hand. He's made his contempt for Twilight and its fandom painfully clear.
- Cast Incest: Kind of. Back before his role in Harry Potter, he appeared briefly in a deleted scene of the movie Vanity Fair as the son of Reese Witherspoon's character. Seven years later, he played Reese Witherspoon's love interest in Water for Elephants.
- What makes this especially hilarious is that in 1998, Reese Witherspoon was in a movie called Twilight!
- The Cast Showoff: He's also a musician and contributed a couple songs to the Twilight soundtrack.
- Digging Yourself Deeper: Has a habit of being FAR too honest about the Twilight series.
- Dull Surprise: He's not known to be the biggest emoter onscreen.
- Mr. Fanservice: And how.
- Hypocrite: Apparently, in the early stages, he found it strange how Edward's fangirls saw his politeness as old-fashioned, when he himself expressed the belief that manners are being killed off in today's society. He now cannot mention the series or its author without remarking on how crappy he thinks they are.
- I Am Not Spock: Twice! First as Cedric in Harry Potter, but then that was eclipsed by his role as Edward in Twilight. Now even die-hard Harry Potter fans can't watch the fourth movie anymore without thinking "Hey, it's Edward Cullen!"
- Money, Dear Boy: Half the reason he's doing Twilight at all. The other half is the chance to hit on Kristen Stewart.
- Name's the Same: No, he doesn't work for the Southport Visiter. That's another one, not the Twilight actor!
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: He actually has a pretty decent American accent, but he does slip at times.
- One of Us: He's a Doctor Who fan and has asked Sylvester McCoy for an autograph. He's also a fan of X-Men, Spider-Man, and Batman, according to this interview.
- Stalker with a Crush: In an interview he once mentioned after starring in Twilight, a fan girl was actually hiding behind a bush outside of his house trying to spy on him.
- Also admitted that the only reason he even auditioned for Twilight in the first place was he was trying to hook up with Kristen Stewart.
- It worked though, didn't it?
- Unkempt Beauty: In the eyes of his many fangirls.
- In commentary for Twilight he even mentions how his costume had a wire in the collar so that it would have the most precise amount of disheveled-ness desired. He thought it was the most pretentious thing ever.
