With The Twilight Saga: New Moon having set box-office records this past weekend, the vampire romance and pop-culture powerhouse cannot be ignored.
Prior to the release of the original Twilight last year, the biggest role Twilight/New Moon star Robert Pattinson had scored was a bit part in a Harry Pottter movie. It’s now a little over a year later and Pattinson is one of the biggest stars on the planet, facing hype an hysteria everywhere he goes. Even though he has become one of the most sought after young actors in Hollywood, the young Englishman is just as humble and self-effacing as he was before Twilight transformed his life last October.
Taking time out of his ridiculously busy schedule, Rob sat down to talk about what it’s like to get paid for romance, who would win in a fight between a vampire and a werewolf, who would win in a fight between him and co-star Taylor Lautner, whether fame has changed him in the past year, how he keeps his personal life private, and those rumours about his alleged impending fatherhood.
