Folks have been talking and who have they been talking about???
I can relate. I talk about him everyday. ;) First up....
Brandon Cronenberg (son to David) was interviewed by Complex.com to discuss his film Antiviral and the interviewer brought up Robert Pattinson and the fame and fanaticism that surrounds him:
Last year, your sister Caitlyn was rumored to be dating Robert Pattinson—reports came out saying they were spotted together at a party for Pattinson's film directed by your dad, Cosmopolis. That must have brought a lot of Antiviral's themes especially close to home for you.
B. Cronenberg: [Laughs.] That was totally strange. And then reading how she was going to his apartment at these late hours of the night, and how she was doing all of this crazy stuff with him and breaking Kristen's [Stewart] heart…it was bizarre to witness that happening and then also witnessing it not happening while being around my sister.
There were photoshopped magazine covers of them together even though the pictures were taken years apart from each other. [Laughs.] There were people who thought it was true, and they were harassing my sister about it. I was just thinking, "Why?"
For people who love a guy like Robert Pattinson, they don't want to hear anything that could ruin whatever image they have of him, and how he lives in some larger-than-their-life way. If they find out that he's just sitting at home and watching TV right now, and not doing something glamorous, it'd crush them.
B. Cronenberg: Yeah, but in that case they didn't want it to be true because they have this idea of an amazing romance between him and Kristen Stewart. They want it to mirror their fictional romance, and the fact that my sister was causing problems and playing with his dog really outraged them. [Laughs.] And it was based on nothing.
And then when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart broke up for real, the comments sections of so many Tumblr pages were filled with truly disturbing messages about how devastated these fans were about it, as if they're parents just got divorced. It got really intense.
B. Cronenberg: It's crazy. That's the thing: It's actually insanity at some point. If you respect someone on a really high level and they happen to be famous, but your respect comes from appreciating their work, that's totally fine. There's a certain point where I think it's a legitimate form of insanity, and it's that point where you think you have a relationship with this person who's never met you. That's delusional, and it was interesting to explore that idea in how the fans in Antiviral will go so far as being injected with their favorite celebrity's diseases in order to be closer to them in some way.Next, Max Irons mentioned Rob briefly to Inquirer.net. I like how he's on top of Rob's films:
On being touted as the next Robert Pattinson or being compared to the “Twilight” actor, Max remarked, “There are two sides to every coin. He’s lost a lot of personal freedom. His life is under a microscope. But then again, he’s working on a great movie called ‘The Rover’ at the moment. He has worked with David Cronenberg (‘Cosmopolis’). He’s going to work with him again (‘Maps to the Stars’). That’s all you want as an actor—to keep working with good directors, scripts and actors. The success of ‘Twilight’ has afforded him that privilege. We should all be so lucky.”The video portion of this segment of "People Talking About Rob" is sponsored by Josh. He was playing FMK with Ashley Tisdale on MTV's After Hours and Rob's name came up. CUTE. And you got that right, sista.

For folks that can't view: Josh said one round was the vampire edition and said Edward Cullen's name. Ashley talks about the other two options first and Josh comments that Rob's name is left out. She emphatically says, "I would marry Robert Pattinson....uh....Edward Cullen." It was adorable.
Our final mention was during This Is 40 promo and Leslie Mann mentioned Rob in a Q&A with Next Movie:
Do you get a say in who acts with you in Judd’s movies? Are you gonna team up with someone from "Twilight" as a love interest?
L. Mann: Yeah, I have this great idea for me and R. Patz! We're making out and... (laughing). No, everything is discussed with everyone who’s involved, but no, I’m not going to be having any love scenes with Robert Pattinson. Even though I think he’s really cute. That would be disgusting.Uh-huh Leslie. Sure. Disgusting. Judd was probably reading this interview too, wasn't he? ;)
And that's a wrap on this edition of People Talking About Rob! How was it, Rob? Did you like what was said?
Damn right. They should have all just skipped the words, bowed down and said....
Maybe next time. ;)
