'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson is one of the most desirable men in the world. In an interview with 'Glamour' UK, the 24-year-old star opens up and speaks about trusting animals, seeing himself as an old man, the Royal Wedding, but also about hanging out with his 'Twilight' cast and being voted Most Stylish Man 2011 by 'Glamour' readers.
Robert Pattinson became
extremely famous after his role in Twilight, the vampire franchise
that caused an incredible hysteria among teenagers. In his latest
movie, 'Water for Elephants', Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, a
veterinary student who abandons his studies after his parents are
killed. He then joins a traveling circus and ends up falling in
love with the ringmaster’s wife Marlena, played by Reese Witherspoon.
In a recent interview with the UK edition of 'Glamour' magazine,
the 24-year-old actor talks about his love for animals, the end of
'Twilight', but also about the Royal Wedding and going to circus
school.
Asked on what circus trick he would love to learn, Robert told
Glamour UK that, "I’d love to learn how to juggle. I’m physically
incapable of juggling. It’s very annoying. Circus school is tough.
I mean she had to go there every day. And they’re really hard on
the performers. I mean it’s like a bootcamp. I was really glad I
didn’t have to do anything. I was like, I’m not a performer. I
don’t know anything about the circus. My part doesn’t involve
anything so it was great. I just got to hang out with animals for
my part. It was very simple."
In the movie, Hal Holbrook plays the older version of Pattinson's
character. On whether it felt rather surreal when seeing himself as
an old man, Robert says that, "Yeah definitely. I’m curious as to
whether that is what I’m going to look like. I love the fact that
Hal…[stomach grumbles] my stomach will not shut up…that Hal is so
in demand as an actor at 84 years old. It’s insane. It’s an
incredible life."
He also added that he is not sure he would like to be doing it
then. "I don’t know. I’d love to be in demand for something. I just
have a feeling that I’m going to be one of those crazy old people
that not even their own family want to see."
As for his love for animals, Robert admits he trusts them more than
people. "I just had a dog growing up so I don’t know if I’m a
natural with anything. I like animals a lot. I’ve never really… I’m
very trusting in them. I trust them more than I trust people. I
think there is some kind of connection in that," he said.
When being asked about the Royal Wedding, Robert revealed that
even though he had a busy schedule promoting 'Water for Elephants',
he watched Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding on TV.
"I was in Paris working and I was doing these interviews and the TV
was behind the interviewer so I was watching it. I was surprised
how interesting I thought it was. It was nice to see everyone look
so happy in England. Because everyone normally looks so miserable
walking down the street and you see everyone waving their flags. It
looks very sweet," the actor said.
The young actor was voted Most Stylish Man 2011 by 'Glamour'
readers. On whether he sees himself as a style icon, Pattinson told
the magazine that, "It’s funny because I think I do. But no one who
knows me notices. There are a lot of different things that I do. I
swear a lot of people repeat my little gimmicks. Or maybe I’m
completely insane. I used to mis… [Rob suddenly stops] do up my
shirt buttons wrong and I see a lot of people doing that now."
With the 'Twilight' series getting to an end, Pattinson hopes that
the cast will still hang out afterwards. "I really hope so. It’s
such a big part of our lives. I get on with everyone really well.
Literally everyone in the cast I’m great friends with. So I would
hope so. I can’t imagine not doing that. I mean, especially in LA.
I mean most of my closest friends in America are people I worked on
Twilight with."
