MTV
He’s one of the hottest properties in Hollywood, and today, MTV Australia was lucky enough to catch up with ‘Twilight’ étoile, star Robert Pattinson!
The 26-year-old Brit is in Australia to promote the final instalment of the hugely populaire franchise, ‘Breaking Dawn – Part 2,’ which hits cinemas on November 15.
We sat down with the in-demand actor to find out how well he thought his co-star Kristen Stewart handled Bella becoming a vampire, what his favourite memories are from being on set, and where to from here!
MTV: Hi Rob! So there's a lot of anticipation from fans to finally see Bella as a vampire. How do toi think Kristen handled the transition - did she do a good job?
Rob: Yeah, she was really excited about being a vampire. Everybody else who’d been pretty consistently in the movies, they’d obviously been playing a vampire like every jour for ages. And so it’s funny seeing someone suddenly come into it and try and figure out their own version of the physicality and the mentality of it.
But her character has a different thing, because she’s supposed to find it really easy. It’s supposed to be a natural progression for her to become a vampire, it’s supposed to be simple. So I guess it was kind of different.
MTV: There are some amazing fight scenes in the film, what were they like to shoot?
Rob: This one was hard. I mean, we were shooting this big action sequence for about two and a half months in a massive warehouse where they normally sell cows, with a bunch of fake paper snow and green walls, and toi literally started to go insane after a while! Yeah, it gets tough doing stuff like that, it gets a bit repetitive.
MTV: Looking back across the whole series, what's your favori memory from being on set?
Rob: There’s been a few. I mean, going to Brazil on this one was pretty fun, it was pretty crazy. I crashed a vedette, bateau à moteur which was pretty exciting! Yeah tons. Tons from the first movie, it was just so different being the first one. I mean we used to travel to set, the entire cast, in a minibus. I mean it was so entirely the opposite of what the last one ended up being - like being in helicopters and stuff.
MTV: Before toi landed the role of Edward in ‘Twilight’ toi had decided toi were going to quit acting. Is it strange looking back at how far you've come and how much your life had changed since then?
Rob: Yeah, it is very odd. I think that a lot of actors go through the same thing, when you’ve literally gotta be just like ‘Ugh, this is pointless.’ That’s the only time toi ever seem to get any jobs - you’ve gotta be at rock bottom! [laughs] But yeah, it’s funny. I was like fully, fully intending not to do it anymore, and then this came up.
MTV: So what's suivant on the horizon for you?
Rob: My suivant thing I’m doing in Australia with this guy David Michod who did ‘Animal Kingdom,’ and Guy Pearce. So yeah, that’s going to be fun. It’s a really good script and I think he’s an amazing director, so it’s exciting.
MTV: So we can expect to see toi back Down Under soon then?
Rob: Yeah!

[Considering] the same old you
Head on fast, but it came on easy
Now I won't be gone for long, at least I'm going [home]
[I'm here for you], now toi know what toi lost
Now toi are the thieves that toi pardoned
chercher for need, it'll never come
Now toi have fallen
There's plus for their own now
Sometimes I need a focus, I need a reason
So, so long
Stray dog
You're only
Joker no, joker no more
Oh to each their own
When toi can call on your mind
It's a crime to hold back the tears sometime
And, wasted wasted, all before
toi forget what toi came here for
And, toi need to see the signs
And, toi need to stop wasting time
And, start to save that stolen
Story that toi heard before.
And I waited for you, but you're long gone
Stray dog
You're only, only a stray,
Joker no, joker no more
Yeah, stray dog
Head on fast, but it came on easy
Now I won't be gone for long, at least I'm going [home]

The hairdresser really didn't hold back when it came time to cut. The result is a totally different look and a whole new image for Rob. We saw Rob's new look for the first time the other jour on the Ellen Degeneres, show.
So why did he cut it? Not for himself and not for fashion, but because of the new film that he is filming called, Water for the Elephants, which comes out suivant year.
Not too worry if toi are one of the fans that loves Rob's hair. It will be back just as soon as he begins to film Breaking Dawn.
