Charlie Bewley talks Robert Pattinson

Twilighters Anonymous did an interview with Charlie Bewley (he seems like such a nice guy) and he spoke about Rob.The Audio is on the video below and also the transcript and I've put the times where he talks about Rob on the audio to make them easier for you to find.

Charlie Bewley Interview with Twilighters Anonymous from JACOB BLACK on Vimeo.



(6.36)TA: You filmed scenes with several of the actors in New Moon. What was it like working with such a big cast and did everyone hit it off right away?

Charlie: I guess when you have a series of films like this; people who come in the second installment are obviously going to be like add-ons to the whole thing if you like. I mean in any kind of social contact you can’t just walk into a bunch of people and you know, just instantly be friends with them it just doesn’t work like that. Especially on a film set with a lot of, a lot of trust a lot of friendships get built over a period of time as opposed to like straight off the bat. Remember we’re actors; we’re very, you know insecure and untrustworthy. I mean I felt very accommodated on set, I mean first point of entry is hair and makeup and they’re the most wonderful people. And you make very good friends with them, and they’re just so interested in who you are, and it’s like five in the morning but no one cares and everyone looks like shit but they try and keep you upbeat. And then when you walk on set it’s very sort of professional off the bat. Like first time I kind of saw Rob and Kristen doing a scene it was a very surreal experience the first time you meet someone who you only know through films and through magazines and stuff. The first time you actually meet them you’re actually alongside them in a character context in a film and off the bat we were going like a house on fire.

(12.57)TA: In terms of fans, paparazzi and overall filming, what were the biggest differences in going from Vancouver to Italy?

Charlie: Going from Vancouver where when you’re working you’re actually on set. You’re on set it’s enclosed, you know, no access. It’s locked down. The only time I really encountered any fans, and I really didn’t because I’d only just been introduced and people don’t really know what I look like. Because I really don’t think I look in person, what I look like in my photos. I just don’t think I do, it’s just an energy or something. In Vancouver, I just walked around anonymous, like I’m doing in London, its fine. Plus I haven’t been disseminated that bad, so there was no problems in Vancouver whatsoever. I just did the work and walked home. When we went out to dinner sometimes with Rob and Kristen, that’s when you had paparazzi just swarming the place, like rats on a ship, it was weird. And Poor Rob, you know, he sits down in a corner and is like “This is ridiculous, I can’t believe this is happening. Just leave me alone.” Which is sad, because he can’t leave his house. When you go to a place like Italy; I don’t know why Summit really told everyone they were going to film in Montepulciano a good two months ahead of time. I don’t know why. But when we got there it was just, it’s impossible to keep five thousand girls out of a place as small as Montepulciano. You’d need a thousand extras on set every day. They were just allowed, you know, to ride, go wherever you want. So there was no cordoned- off areas really, as such, apart from the hotels and stuff. So you were always, wherever you went, followed by a hundred to a thousand girls….and boys. They were the Italians. And it was a wonderful experience, a very surreal experience, because you take Montepulciano which is this beautiful, secluded, hilltop Tuscan countryside which is rolling with grapevines and wonderful hay fields and trees and beautiful sunshine. And on top of this mountain is this beautiful, rustic, nine hundred year old village which is untouched by commerciality. There’s just not one trace of a commercial footstep on it at all. Then you have that beauty and a film set, the buzz of a huge Hollywood film set to it, then you have five thousand screaming fans wherever you go. You’re treated like royalty wherever you go, with security guards and everything. It’s just the most surreal experience I think I can ever expect to go through again, really, honestly. The whole everything together was just. I mean I’ve written an article about it and I’m going to put it out there at some point just to try to capture, because my writing is much better than when I talk. I don’t know if you’ve noticed that. It was another world, it really was.


(15.39)TA: Did you have any idea how big the Twilight hype was when you joined the cast?

Charlie: Yeah, I knew what it was going to be like. I didn’t expect the whole Italian thing to be as ridiculous as it was. Not to say I’m not grateful for it at all because I love the Italians. They are wicked, wicked people. Not to mention they make up probably like 87% of my fan base right now. Did I know what was going to happen, the whole hype thing? Yeah, I mean it’s fairly obvious. In Canada, where I was living, Rob was on the cover of every single magazine going. I knew that as soon as our faces were thrown out there and disseminated things were going to get a little crazy. But you know, it’s been okay so far. Being a totally unknown actor, there was a lot more intrigue into me as to other people, I’m pretty sure of that. But it’s you know, going to be fairly steady until the film comes out and then I expect another sort of wave of commitments and paparazzi. I don’t know, I mean I don’t think about it too much to be honest because I just, whatever happens happens. There’s nothing you can do about it. And you can just enjoy it when it comes. It’s a wonderful thing to happen to someone in their life, to be subject to such interest. People can be actually intrigued, have an intrigue into what you’ve done in your life. Especially when you’ve got a back-story like I have, it’s something that’s very exciting.

Charley sounds like a very interesting and thoughtful guy!
I heard he has a rather sordid past but hey the guy is really very handsome.

Angela said...

My, he's a chatty Cathy. I bet him and Rob would be too funny together. and yes he is yum.

RPLover said...

wow, I can't believe Summit sent the word out 2 MONTHS before they got there! I knew that it was crazy in Italy but I hadn't heard that before-that seems pretty irresponsible to their actors.

good interview, though! I bet an interview with the two of them would be pretty funny, they both seem fairly chatty! :)

AP said...

Did Summit disclose the actual location in Italy first? I thought the Italian tourist board did, but could have it wrong. Would've been hard, anyway, to keep the news of a whole town being virtually 'shut down' under a hat. Or even Chris's beanie.

Charlie does seem a 'CC',lol. He also seems to want to get his backstory out there. Well, best to be up front, I guess.

I saw Charlie several times in the hotel in Montepulciano (my friend and I were staying at the actors' hotel) and true he was a really nice guy; very fun, cool; every time he was joking with fans waiting outside. He passed by us several times but we didn't know who he was (we could hear the fans calling him but we had no clue which part he had in the movie). Anyway, yes Montepulciano WAS crazy (we went there for a couple of hours and left...it was too crazy) and the hotel was not much better: fans were standing outside 24/24!

"“This is ridiculous, I can’t believe this is happening. Just leave me alone.” Which is sad, because he can’t leave his house."

This really breaks my heart :(.

I like Charlie Bewley, how is it that all these Brits seem to be so nice and decent? :D

As for us Italians being wicked... eeeh, we are sometimes, but we mean well, really :)... fact is we *are* very passionate and we do get carried away quite a bit, when we get passionate about something... or someone! I used to be one of those 20+ years ago, with Duran Duran (and here I'm really showing my age!), but I've mellowed down quite a bit.

Knowing how harrowing it can be for "idols" when people run after them, scream at them, even just to say "I love you", I think I would do things differently, going back, although I was not one of the worst, being shy as I am. But when you're sixteen, it's hard to keep a hold on your hormones and emotions. I certainly would have never jumped on them, though.

As for Summit, of course they did send the word two months before about Italy: I suspect they are the same ones who constantly tip off paparazzi on Rob's whereabouts, so it doesn't really surprise me. After what happened with Rachelle, it's pretty obvious what they think of their actors: they are cash cows to them, expendable meat they think they can feed to people to get money out of them.

My bottom line is: Summit are disgusting in every possible way and I can't wait for Rob to be off their hook. The sooner, the better and hopefully, he will never work with them again.

AP said...

@Athena: so you really wish Summit hadn't bankrolled "Remember Me?" Or won't support any future projects Rob might want to do, such as an indie script he might be interested in?

Well, whatever I think of some of Summit's dealings, I'm glad they ponied up for RM, which I am really looking forward to seeing!

Charlie knows how to describe things so beautifully.UGH!!

Montepulciano which is this beautiful, secluded, hilltop Tuscan countryside which is rolling with grapevines and wonderful hay fields and trees and beautiful sunshine. And on top of this mountain is this beautiful, rustic, nine hundred year old village which is untouched by commerciality.

I want to go and sip wine as I tour the countryside and rent a villa. YES PLEASE

Athena said...

@ A: That is not what I'm saying at all, although I do wish that some other, more decent company had put the money to do Remember Me, instead of Summit.
What's done is done, but what I plan to do (as someone suggested at the time of Rachelle-gate) is make an effort and watch only the Summit films that Rob might do (including Remember Me), since my loyalty goes to him first, while hoping that after the ones he has already signed for he will not work for them ever again and avoiding accurately any other Summit movies that Rob is not in, in the future.

Basically, I want Summit to have as little of my money as possible, considering their behaviour towards actors.
