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.

Read the rest of the interview after the break….

Does that means your fans would be disappointed if they met you?
Of course, they probably would! There’s no way to be like people want you to be, since everyone has their own distinct image of me. Even though people don’t know what they really want, either way they get excited. The real me is not a fantasy, I think.

You’ve told us that in Twilight it took you two weeks to become Edward. How about this time?
I went to Canada a month before we started filming, and I was surprised on how relaxed and easy it was for me to become Edward again, maybe because I felt more connected with the second book than with the first. I understood the story and its motivations a lot better, because all those emotions relate to my own life, when Edward feels he took the wrong decision when he left Bella, but he does it anyways. I think any guy would do the same in their relationships. It’s like you felt obligated to screw things up! And I understand that because I always screw up. That’s what happens!

“I don’t see myself as a teen idol”

Why do you think vampire stories and werewolves have become such a worldwide hit?
I think it’s because the story is about compromise, about finding your true love and not knowing if you’re good enough for her. It’s about being scared and feeling like you’ll ruin everything. I think that’s why people identify with the movie. That’s how I’ve always seen it, never like a vampire!

Speaking about vampires, would you like to live forever like Edward?
I don’t think I could. I have an aunt, a very fun woman who’s about 96 or 97 years old, and every time I talk to her, she tells me: “Next time you come to see me, could you please bring me some vampire venom?”. That’s why I wouldn’t like living forever, under any circumstance.

Do you believe in astrology or karma?
Some. I’m really interested in that kind of stuff. But what I really believe is karma, specially since they’ve kicked my butt a lot of times!

What are your future projects?
I’m recording a couple of movies. I’ve been working without a day off for a year, but I’m doing completely different things, and the projects I feel are close to me, are the ones I need to do. I am not rolling any kind of massive movies. Only movies that have a meaning to me. That’s how I generally choose what I do.

How do you feel about being a gay icon?
I think I feel exactly the same as I feel with all girls, it’s a compliment. But I don’t know; I don’t understand that type of worship. I just have to deal with it.
