TORONTO – For a man who emerged as the fully formed and fully fanged vampire heartthrob in the Twilight saga, Robert Pattinson almost seems too fully dimensional, too human, too real to be locker pin-up material. But he’s managing.
The British actor who played Edward opposite Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan says he’s learned to adapt to a complete lack of control when it comes to public perception, which is one reason why he loves working with David Cronenberg so much.
Pattinson played the lead in Cronenberg’s 2012 outing, a limo-bound narrative about greed, corruption and self-contained narcissism called Cosmopolis. And he returns to Cronenberg’s bizarre landscapes in Maps to the Stars, a truly odd Oedipal yarn woven through a Hollywood loom.
Pattinson plays a limo driver to various celebrities in this new effort that also stars Mia Wasikowska, Julianne Moore and John Cusack, and while he says his character, Jerome, was relatively blank on the page, he knew he could trust Cronenberg to let him grope for a while, and get a good feel for what was needed.
“David is very funny,” Pattinson says. “I just like him as a person, and it helps that I really like his work. I like the way he runs his sets: They are so comfortable and I feel more confident on them.”
Pattinson says Cronenberg never panics when faced with the unknown. He allows the story and the characters to evolve organically.
“On Cosmopolis, I was terrified because it was such a wordy script and I hadn’t done any rehearsals, and I hadn’t had any talks with him about the character until the Sunday before the Monday we started shooting. And I tell you I nearly had a nervous breakdown because I assumed he thought I knew exactly what I was going to do and just pull it out…. “ Pattinson laughs, with a sweet little twinkle.
"Pattinson was spotted later at C Lounge for the after-party of Maps to the Stars, David Cronenberg’s new film that puts Pattinson alongside Julianne Moore, John Cusack and Sarah Gadon. The film came to TIFF with much buzz; Moore won best actress at Cannes for playing an aging performer who is past her prime.
The megawatt cast was divided among three booths at the club, with security guards blocking each from fans. Twilight-mania must still be going strong; Pattinson had three guards on duty while Cusack and Moore only required one each.
Aside from the celebrity sightings, the party was more of the same. Gawking guests made human traffic jams near the celebrities, with motherly security intervening now and again to remind people that it’s impolite to stare."Come on, impolite or not did they really think people wouldn't stare at Robert Pattinson? They're lucky all they did was stare.
