New Rob Interview with Telepro
After his escape to Cannes, where he climbed the famous steps, Robert Pattinson spoke to Télépro.
We met the young 28 year old British actor on the occasion of the release of "The Rover" (the movie will be released in France and Belgium this Wednesday, June 4)
What do you think of your experience at Cannes?
This is not the first time I'm on the Croisette, but it's still kind of an emotional shock for me (laughs). I'm surprised at how passionate people are about movies... Sometimes a little too much! I was shocked to read some reviews of the film, really virulent. I don't understand the anger of some journalists . Sometimes there such aggressiveness in this Festival. I am told that this is part of the game to Cannes but, my God, this is a film after all!
What are your favorite movies and actors?
I have seen "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (note: a Terry Gilliam film starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro) a million times. I know all replicas ! I'm also a big fan of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (Milos Forman, starring Jack Nicholson). I also love "The Mask." Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors. He is one of the best actors of his generation. I have great admiration for comic actors.
After the monstrous success of the saga, it shouldn't be easy to turn the "Twilight" page...
"Twilight" was an exceptional adventure. I certainly wouldn't be here without these films. I owe everything to "Twilight", but I 'm glad I turned the page. I used to feel safe in saying that if one of my projects didn't work, I always had a "Twilight" movie. Now that's no longer the case, I have to take risks in my choices. And it pushes me to be better.

New Rob Interview with Le Figaro
With two films in the official selection at Cannes, actor handle serenely the "post-Twilight."
On a terrace of the Palais des Festivals swept by the wind, a man with his head tucked into his shoulders, pulls on his cigarette. A bodyguard stands a few meters from him. The anonymous smoker is Robert Pattinson. With two films in official selection, Maps To The Stars, by David Cronenberg, and The Rover, by David Michôd, the actor was one of the attractions in Cannes. When we arrive at our rendez-vous on the Croisette, he doesn't look fit. The day before, he was doing the closing of the Silencio, the Parisian club relocated in Cannes during the festival. He woke up ten minutes before his appointments with the press.

Didier: Watching the film I remembered something I had read somewhere saying the apocalypse is when human beings are losing their humanity. Do you think the film is speaking about that?
Rob: Yeah I mean. I guess it's also ... I was thinking a little bit about hope. People have lost the sense of hope with each character and I think it's where they are living, if the world is devastated just like that. Either it's economically speaking or extracted inside the world. There's nowhere to go for people. We're watching them and we're wondering how we can live without hope. Is there a reason to live? And I don't know if the film is telling about that but it's rather flexible how you can interpret it
Didier: I like what you are doing with your career after Twilight. I know you love cinema, we already talked about that. When you choose a project like this one or a Cronenberg, is it a way to put your love for the cinema in your work?
