An english survey says that 87% of english women, of every age would replace their husbands immediately with Robert Pattinson. And I suspect that every woman in the world would do the same. Pattinson, 25 next May 12, (Kate: I think you mean May 13th!) a very tall man (1.85 cm) skinny, pale and apparently unhappy (as vampires should be), (Kate: You mean Edward is unhappy? Rob looks perfectly happy to me!) is the center of a mass idolatry similar only to the Leonardo di Caprio’s (Titanic).

Another movie, Breaking Dawn, divided in two chapters (first will come out November 18th 2011, second one November 16th, 2012) after that date Twilight Saga and his Edward will be in retirement. And he and Kristen Stewart will be free, if they want to, to live their love freely, a love that they never confirmed.

Since the series began, in 2008, semi-unknown Pattinson,chosen from 5000 candidates, has risen to 15th place on the most payed actors list. For Breaking Dawn he asked and obtained $12.5milion for every movie; when he changed genre he renounced to a lot of money: for his new job “Water for Elephants” he asked only $1.5milion . “But I need to put my foot down and to wake up”, he says very seriously. Based on Sara Gruen's most successful novel, set in the ’30s, the movie follows Jacob that becomes a vet in a circus by chance. And falls in love with Marlena (Reese Whiterspoon), even though she is married to the ringmaster and animal trainer August (Christoph Waltz).

What attracted you to this story?
RP: The script: I react to words and descriptions in a visceral way. If I can feel myself in the story immediately, then this must be the right script to do.

In 2004′ Vanity Fair you had a little cameo as Reese Whiterspoon’s son. Now you become her lover: Hollywood’s miracles?
RP: Reese is not so happy that everybody’s talking about this, because she says that aged her. But, if you think about it, she's the same as she was then. It was my first job and she was so nice to come to visit me, to help me with my lines, because she noticed that I was terrified. Every time director said “action”, I became paralyzed. When I went with a friend to the premiere of the movie in London, we saw his scene, and mine was cut off. Nobody told me that. So bad! I was serioiusly planning to give up acting, before.. starting it”

This time, in love scenes, you didn't feel paralyzed, did you?
Reese succeded to make feel me completely at ease. In the real life she is exactly how she seems on screen: very very sweet, friendly,with a positive aura

And Christoph Waltz as the villain?
Words are not enough for him. This movie is going to be appreciated by my mother, not only because it's a romantic one, but because she will feel proud of me too: I work with two Oscar winners (Reese Witerspoon won for Walk the Line in 2006, Chisthoph Waltz in 2010 with Inglorious Basterds). On the set sometimes I repeated to myself the title of a book by one of my favourites writers , Bruce Chatwin”What Am I Doing Here”

When you were a child you were fascinated or scared by the circus?
I went to see a circus once, it was called Zipper Circus, I still remember it. I liked the clown and all the funny things the happened to him. But in a certain moment of the show there was a car accident with mini cars. And my sister screamed to me “the clown is dead!”, and I burst into tears. A few years later she told me it was a joke.

How is your relationship with animals?
It is funny you’re asking now because I’m the new owner of a dog. A mut with some traces of german sheperd dog. I’ve adopted it from a shelter in Louisiana before they decided to kill him, and I couldnt bear it. I don’t know how I will manage because I always travel. I grew up with a dog, Patty and it's probably true that you’ll always be as a child. (Kate: I'm not sure what this bit is meant to mean :-? It doesn't make any sense) The weird thing is that he (he has not yet a name, but probably it can be “bear”) one day was in a refuge and the next day he went with me to a five star hotel room in Hollywood. It'slike “Lady and the tramp” to me.

Speaking about Hollywood, that is like a circus, isn’it?
Maybe a little, it's a world where illisions are created and they try to make people believe in them.

Have you accostumed yourself to fame?
I don’t know what fame is, for real, because my inner life didn't changed at all (my values didn't change at all)

You’re a sex symbol?
See below, at the word “hollywood illusions”, before twilight I wasn't able to go out for a date with a girl

And now?
Yes If I wanted to. But I’m not the sex Symbol. He is Edward, the vampire. (Kate: {rolls eyes} Here we go again)

How are you spending the money you earned?
I’m so used to being penniless that I’m not able to spend it. Last thing I bought of any value was a vintage guitar

If you were not an actor what you have done in your life?
I was absolutely convinced that I wanted to become a musician. Some times I still perfom myself to. Performing to an audience gives you freedom and, to tell the truth, it blows my mind (in a good way) as no movie can.

You still write songs, don’t you?
I have no time for it

And are you still writing that two “famous” novels you were writing some years ago?
I have no time for them either.

How do you see your future?
I know for now what will be my next movie, Cosmopolis, based on a novel by Don DeLillo, directed by David Cronemberg, and played also by Paul Giamattihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif, Juliette Binoche, Mathieu Amalric. Another project that will make my mother proud of me and will make me repeat to my self 'What Am I Doing Here?'
