The countdown to DiorRob is like the twelve days of Christmas in August. Another new interview with Robert Pattinson, this time from Glamour Spain.
THE MAGNETIC SEX APPEAL OF ROBERT PATTINSON
He has one of the most magnetic looks of current cinema. Free from his
vampiric past, the actor writes the first chapters of his new life, next
to Dior Homme, turning into an icon of freedom.
Robert Pattinson says he's not the perfect man, but he's very close.
His millions of fans believe so, and after seeing him in the new
Dior Homme
ad, so do we. Discreet and misterious, Pattinson (London, 1986) is
still the same he's always been in spite of the fame he got with
The Twilight Saga. Since then, his CV grows in an unstoppable way with titles like
Water for Elephants,
Bel Ami and David Cronenberg's
Cosmopolis. We'll soon see him in
The Rover, and he starts filming:
Maps to the Stars, again with Cronenberg and
Hold on to Me,
with actress Carey Mulligan. Used to living with the rumors of his
break up with Kristen Stewart, he feels grown up for the first time. In
Los Angeles and in a
Glamour Exclusive, he confesses that he's a one-woman man. As said before: almost perfect.
What made you accept to being the new face of the Maison Dior?
It was a combination of circumstances. When it was proposed to me, I was
filming very small movies and I thought representing a brand like
Dior
would allow me to get to the public more. It's good to have a big
company as an ally. Being the face of a brand is something I've doubted a
lot. I've turned down offers in the past, but when the french campaign
proposed it to me, the decision was easy. I like what the brand
represents. I like it because it's inaccessible and I relate to its
philosophy.
Do you miss the media attention the Twilight Saga caused?
No, although I do have new found feelings. On one side, the popularity
made me face the pressure of the media, but on the other side, I felt
safe being part of a saga so profitable.
Do you mean Twilight gave you economical support that now allows you to freely choose low budget cinematic projects?
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Twilight has given value to my image
all over the world. Before I star in a romantic comedy, I'd rather turn
into the face of a strong firm. It's something that in reality, I
could've done earlier, but I've waited because I wanted to team with a
good brand. Two years ago, when I began considering the idea of being
the face of a perfume, nobody was doing it. Now all actors do it, from
Brad Pitt to Matthew McConaughey. It's fun that we're all doing it now.
