Why We LOVE Tom Sturridge

Before there was the "Are Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson holding hands?" question there was the "Are Tom Sturridge and Robert Pattinson holding hands?" question :)

Tom Sturridge's new movie Pirate Radio (The Boat That Rocked) opened this weekend in the US. It has amazing reviews and friends that have seen it in the UK all say it's a good movie filled with good music and great actors. Do yourself a favor and see it ;)

Bullz-Eye.com has an interview with Tom. I loved the interview and Tom's sense of humor. He is as self deprecating as Robert Pattinson is and if you have time you should definitely read the whole interview. BUT this is the part that makes me love Tom more:

J1: These days, is it a blessing or a curse to be friends with Robert Pattison?

TS: Um… (Long pause) As his friend, I really just don’t want…there are oceans of words written and spoken about him and his world, and I don’t want to add to them.

J1: Well, let’s put it this way: since all of this has happened to him, has your friendship changed at all with him, or is it pretty much the same?

TS: I… (Long pause) Again, as his friend and to be fair to him, I don’t want to be the one to…

J1: That’s fine.

TS: I’m not being weird. I just don’t want him ever to have to pick up a piece of paper and see me talking about him. It would just be…weird.

Gozde: When everyone wants a piece of you and keeps yapping about you it must be a good thing to have friends like this. Kudos Tom :)

Robert Pattison:I Don’t Even Think I’m a Real Man Yet :)

Another new and good interview where Rob talks about his new project, the relationship of Bella/Edward and Jacob and his sex symbol status.

It's an exclusive from Nieuwsblad.be. Thanks to Pinklien for the translation :)

Robert Pattinson: “Some fans scare me”
(Exclusive interview)

Everywhere he appears, teenage girls start screaming. And he didn’t even bite them. A conversation with teen idol Robert Pattinson, alias the vampire Edward Cullen from Twilight.

It’s been since Leonardo DiCaprio that an actor has been so intensely worshipped as Robert Pattinson. Thousands of girls (an older women) everywhere would love to have Edward bite them – Robert Pattinson in real life, R-Pattz for his fans.

How do you deal with all the media-craziness? There are books about your life-story, and you aren’t even dead yet. (bit weird to say IMO)

RP: Yes, I saw that there are 7 unauthorized biographies, and they all start at my 20th. I think Im dealing with it as good as possible. The past year, I have been working non-stop so the biggest Twilight craziness passed me by. My life and Twilight, it are 2 separate things.

Being famous is a lifestyle, but Im only a foetus in that celebrity-world. Im better at it than in the beginning, but I would hate it if there would be people hanging around my house for the rest of my life. It would drive me crazy. Why do people want a picture of me and them at all costs? I don’t get that. I think of myself as boring.

How different was shooting New Moon in comparison with the first part?

RP: Very different. With the first movie, there were a lot of people all pulling in a different direction. The studio wanted to create a basis for a franchise, because it had already been settled that it would be a trilogy. The bosses thought the movie had to appeal to as much people as possible. Director Catherine Hardwicke had made a lot of independent movies and she sometimes was like an unguided projectile, she had so much energy. Kristen and I had our own ideas about the characters and we both are rather stubborn.

But the mega success of the first movie has made everyone more calm. We are less insecure. The studio bosses know that we are going to make the right decisions. We also have Chris Weitz as the new director. He’s very calm and got everyone ready very fast. We have all worked so hard.

Have you seen New Moon a few times yet?

RP: Once. I still think it’s a torture to see myself on the big screen. But this time it wasn’t a punishment. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it. That hadn’t happened since the beginning of my career.

Don’t you think it’s frightening to see how obsessed some fans are?

RP: Definitely. When the Twilight hype broke out, I sometimes had visions of my getting stabbed by a crazy fan. Those crowds at premieres… Im not at ease. When we were shooting New Moon in Vancouver, some fans would be out there for 3 days in a row, good or bad weather. At times like that, your instinct tells you: that is a weirdo and your imagination runs wild. But mostly it’s not so bad when you go and talk to that person.

Twilight is just my job, but for a fan, it’s something they desperately want to be a part of. Is that wrong? Im not so sure anymore. A fan is a fan, that’s all. It just takes a while before you get used to the fact that what you do, gets appreciated by people.

Have you ever been a fan of someone?

When I first saw ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’, I was 16 and that movie has influenced me so much. I even started to dress like Jack Nicholson. That period lasted for a long time. I also had a thing for Patricia Arquette. But I don’t think that any of that has influenced my work. (laugh)

In New Moon, the young Taylor Lautner plays a wolf, Jacob. What did you think when you saw his muscles?

RP: That I needed to hit the gym stat. (laugh) No, I think it’s ok. It’s funny: for some reason, when you’re an actor in a teen movie, they expect you to have a six pack. So when I see a guy that meets every expectation of a teenage girl, I do get a complex yeah. Actually, that was perfect to get into my role. I now know the feeling of having to prove myself against someone younger than me.

You have a great connection with Kristen, that isn’t a secret. But in this movie, there’s also a lot of chemistry between her and Taylor. Were you jealous?

RP: No. In New Moon, we only have like 3 scenes with the three of us. I barely had the chance to be jealous. When I had to work, Taylor wasn’t around because Bella and Jacobs story line was developing without me. In Eclipse, the third movie, which we wrapped a while ago, it’s totally different. There’s a lot more interaction between the characters. Taylor and I were teasing each other the whole time.

This time, Taylor is the leading man. Does that take some pressure off your shoulders?

RP: Asolutely. I keep on saying this is Taylors movie. Im not the lead role. He’s fully responsible and that’s a win-win situation. If it’s a flop, I can always say that it’s because Im in it less. (laugh)

What’s next on your agenda?

RP: It has been a weird year. I have been working non-stop, with 4 days off at the most. First there was New Moon, then Eclipse. I was pretty relieved when we could wrap at the end of October. I finally got to sleep in. But we didn’t get much rest, with the promo tour for New Moon coming up. In February I will go to Budapest to shoot Bel Ami. Not with Nicole Kidman, as reported first. Im not allowed to say who it is yet. Ive also signed on for Unbound Captives, a romantic drama with Rachel Weisz. But chances are that before all that, I'm expected on the set of the forth Twilight movie.

Megan Fox is the most beautiful woman in the world and she said that title has made her shy. What do you think of the fact that some magazines call you the most sexy man on the planet?

RP: God, I don’t even think I’m a real man yet (laugh)

Robert Pattinson Video and Pictures from Munich Fan Event/Press Conference

Thanks Thinking of Rob ;)

And a video:

Whole video:

Robert Pattinson: I Like the Feeling That I Get When I'm Making Music

From Twilight Poison: (Thanks to Vale who always translates these great interviews :))

This is another just-released interview of Rob in Cannes. This was for Clarin.com, an Argentinian newspaper. Lots of New Moon talk, and some nice quotes. Here is the complete translation.

Edward has a much smaller role in New Moon. How much was this changed for the movie?
It didn’t change that much. Or maybe it did. There’s a sort of new image of me that Bella sees, or creates. You’d think she went mad. She thinks she has visions. I’m not really that much in those scenes. Those scenes are mixed with memories of her, and fantasies.

The tension for preserving the virginity is a very important subject in the saga.
In many ways it is. I think this was done because Stephenie loves that kind of tension; having an unfullfilled desire the whole time, that’s the best kind of love. Makes everything more dramatic, romantic, tragic. People can see it in many different ways.

But how do you see it?
I always try to find the best in everything. Edward is a very human character, and I’m like him in many ways. He doubts himself a lot. But he wants to do the right thing. He’s a normal guy, he makes mistakes. And it’s funny how fans see him as a perfect guy. He’s not; he’s a jealous person. But he does try to be a good person while following his heart.(Gozde: Perfect...Perfect description...and that's why Rob is so perfect as Edward :))

Why did you prefer to be an actor and not a musician? Or do you think you can be a musician as well?
I think in many ways you can do both, but it’s very hard to follow both careers seriously. And to be honest, I wasn’t very interested in making money with music. I make music for therapeutic reasons. But music can help acting, timing wise. You become less shy. It’s like when you’re with people, there’s a barrier. You feel naked. I think that helps.

Robert shares with us that he’s writing music for a movie.

“Yes I wrote music. I’m writing music for a movie, but it’s just the music. I won’t be singing in it”.

Will you ever write music for any of the Twilight films? (score)
The music I’m writing is for a movie that it might never get made.

What’s your favorite instrument to play? What is your instrument of choice when you’re composing new music?
I play the guitar a lot because you cn’t take a piano everyhere (mimics the movements and laughs). I like the feeling that I get, I love it. But I played the piano before I played the guitar. I’m starting to play a lot again. It’s always nice to play again. I love Van Morrison and all that 70’s music.

You travel all over the world, that must take time for you to do the things you like to do. Does it bother you much, or how much are you willing to take?
I don’t mind the commercial aspect. I must say, if I could do the same things I’m doing right now without having anyone know who I am, I’d love it. When you’re very famous, you can’t lead a normal life anymore and that’s scary. You might not be able to relate to normal things again. You can’t walk into a building, you can’t sit down for coffee anymore and find inspiration to do things. People asking for my autograph, I can’t relate to that. That’s not interesting; it’s annoying. And it’s very scary to think that you’ve lost any normal life you had. I’m still new at this, but you know what? The fans love Edward, not me.(Gozde: I guess we'll figure if it's right or wrong after the franchise ends Rob. )

I read somewhere that you love Jack Nicholson and that he’s you role model.
Yes, in a weird way. It has to do with the decisions he made in his career. It’s strange, but I don’t think there’s another actor as coherent as he is. And with the same quality of work.

Is there any younger actors that you like?
Romain Duris. And Val Kilmer.

You’re the most talked about person on the internet, do you read what people say about you?
I did it for a few months, but I’m done with that.

Why?
It’s easy to become obsessed with it. ‘I have to change’. When everything starts, that’s what you think ‘I have to change’. Why? It’s so stupid. A bad article can really get to you. And if you keep looking…

Did you travel with friends? Did you bring anyone to Cannes?
No, I’m here by myself.

Where do you live right now?
Nowhere. I’ve been working for the past year and half. I have no home, or anything.

Do you feel like establishing somewhere? Buying a house, maybe in LA?
It doesn’t make sense, I don’t go there very often. I’m maybe there one week at a time, stay in hotels. But it would be nice to have a place wher I can out down all my things.(Gozde: you mean you and Kristen are not looking for a "love nest" like OK! magazine claims? Shocker! What's a girl to believe these days? :))

A place to call your home? Or just a place where you can leave all your things?
I have a lot of books, but I don’t care very much for other posessions. I only have suitcases in my hotel rooms.

Thanks Twilight Poison:)
