Montreal’s Gazette Interviews Rob

The Gazette interviewed Rob for his movie Remember Me. They talked about his career, the movie, Twilight and his upcoming movie Bel Ami.

On his character Tyler:

To say that Pattinson as Tyler redefines James Dean’s Rebel Without a Cause angst is not an exaggeration, although the actor expresses some reservations about the assessment.

“I think it’s a fairly typical state to be in,” Pattinson notes of his character’s classic rebellious posturing. “And yes, I think there’s that element, but I was also interested in the arrogant things about Tyler.”

“The way Tyler reacted to specific things seemed very relatable to me,” Pattinson admits. “I hadn’t seen a character like it in 100 scripts, so when it came available between filming New Moon and Eclipse, I went for it, because it seemed like a perfect fit.”

On being a producer for the first time:

“I’m kind of embarrassed about the producing thing, because I wasn’t really acting like a proper producer,” he confesses. “I only came on after filming to help make sure the product was the product we all wanted to make at the end.”

On his character in Bel Ami:

“I think there’s a kind of irony in Bel Ami, because a lot of the women are attracted to my character,” Pattinson says, smiling ever so slightly, “and then he kind of screws them over and steals their money, which I think is quite funny compared to my Twilight character.”
