Robert Pattinson is in the latest copy of Ok! Mexico.
A newmoonmovie.org reader was kind enough to do a full translation of the interview:
Robert Pattinson was born May 13, 1986 in London. When he was three, he started learning to play piano, and when he was five, the acoustic guitar. His childhood was pretty much influenced by music, but when he was 12 he started a brief modeling carrier. At the age of 15 he started acting in amateur productions like the Barnes Theater Company, and three years later he got a tiny role in the small screen movie Ring of the Nibelungs (2004), apart from making a special appearance in the movie Vanity Fair, starring Reese Witherspoon. A year later he was accepted in the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire… and the rest is history.
“They’ve kicked my butt a lot of times”
Is that frustrating?
It’s weird. It’s like when I get out of my hotel room after several months, only to eat dinner or do something interesting, and it’s still getting talked about. I have a couple of friends from school that live in Vancouver, and when I went to visit him-something really unimportant-, [the story] was suddenly everywhere. It seems like the most boring you are, the more you attract attention. It’s fun, though.
Do you think it’s harder to fall in love now that you’re so famous?
No, I don’t think it’s an obstacle. It’s easy to lead with these kind of things [fame], except when they affect your career. There’s people with no luck, and the media’s job is to make them look like idiots. If that happens, you’re gonna be loaded with job, because everyone looks at you like an idiot! It’s really frustrating because there’s nothing you can do.
Can you distinguish if women are really interested in you or just in your fame?
If they’re attractive, I don’t care if they only like me for my fame! [laughs], although I prefer to be looked at for who I am.
Do you look at yourself as an idol?
Not at all. I know several people who’ve said that, but I’ve never really given much thought to it.
What does it feel like to be every girl’s fantasy?
It’s funny, because I’m sure if the fans came and talked to me for five minutes, the excitement would vanish.
