It's an honor to be compared to Robert Pattinson, LeatherPantsRob isn't done with us yet and MORE!

ETOnline spoke to Max Irons at the premiere for The Host and asked him about the Robert Pattinson comparisons. He was gracious and complimentary of Rob's upcoming work in his reply:

"I can probably name 10 actors who've been compared to Robert Pattinson," Irons said at the film's Hollywood premiere. "So it's an honor -- I think he's doing very well for himself, he's got some amazing projects coming out -- so it's a bit of an honor, but I think everyone's an individual. But it's nice to be likened to him."

Check out the full video interview to hear his remarks.


Caitlin Cronenberg recently tweeted about reaching a follower milestone and asked her followers what she should do to celebrate. RPAustralia had the best suggestion which she replied to with a tease laced with hope for Rob fans.




We're used to waiting around here so keep hope alive and wait a little longer for more LeatherPantsRob! Yummmmmmm.....





Lastly, there was a quick mention and compliment for Rob from an old director. From a Harry Potter edition for March 2013 Be The Red Carpet, Mike Newell (Goblet of Fire) spoke about Rob at the London Critics Award earlier this year:



Sweet, brilliant, good, clever....sounds just about right. ;)

Max Irons - "Robert Pattinson Is Going To Have A Long, Long Career"

Max Irons may be being compared to Robert Pattinson but the Red Riding Hood star reckons R-Patz has been “gifted and cursed” with fame.

The son of acting couple Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack hit the red carpet in Hollywood to premiere the new thriller in which he plays Amanda Seyfried’s love interest.

Having been cast and directed in the movie by Twilight’s Catherine Hardwicke, Max confessed he takes any Pattinson comparisons as a compliment.

“Well Robert’s a lovely actor, [but] this is a different beast to the film that shall not be named!” he joked, before adding: “You know, I think he’s been gifted and cursed.”

The 25-year-old explained: “All you want to be able to do as an actor is work and to be able to focus on the work. For lack of a better term, the celebrity is consequential and all you should be doing is focusing on the quality of your work and kind of, I think, ignoring the rest of it.

“If I can do that and have a long, long career and not a short, short career that’s all I want.

“Robert by the way is going to have a long, long career,” Max added. (Kate: Yes he is Max)
“I have a feeling about that… because he’s English!” (Kate: :-P)

The young actor described working under the direction of Catherine Hardwicke as "nuts".
(Kate: Really, I'd never have guessed :-P)
"We had a director that encouraged us to be silly and to just have fun."
