Rob is @ the very end of the video...still cute as can be.
Five excuses to make Robert Pattinson an honorary Irishman
Meghan Sweeny at Irish Central has listed the 5 Excuses to Make Rob and Honorary Irishman ;) Their photoshop skills are definitely better than mine. The picture is priceless :)))
The latest RPattz news? The "Twilight" star will play Irish actor Pierce Brosnan's son in the new movie, "Remember Me."
So how does Robert Pattinson's Irishness stack up next to County Meath-born Pierce Brosnan's?
Pretty well, according to all of us at IrishCentral, where we've decided to dub the vampire hottie an honorary Irishman (hey, it was Irishman Bram Stoker that wrote legendary vampire story "Dracula" anyhow).
Here are our top five excuses for calling Pattinson "Irish":
1. He idolizes legendary Irish singer Van Morrison
In fact, Pattinson is such a Van fan that he's dying to play him in a biopic (that is, if any studio ever decides to make one). He told MovieFone: "I'd love to play Van Morrison, but I doubt I would get the part." *Sigh* modest as always.
2. He claims to look like an "old, Irish alcoholic"
We established this when we posted bits from an RPattz interview with Metromix where he was asked why he stood out among the thousands of actors who auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen in "Twilight." Pattinson's answer: While most guys looked like "Greek gods," "I looked kind of like an old, Irish alcoholic." Amazing.
3. His last name is derived from St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland
The surname "Pattinson" is a patronymic form of the name "Pat," from "Patrick," which was chiefly used in Ireland and Scotland, and eventually spread to England, where the "Twilight" star is from. The popularity of the name came from the prominence of St. Patrick, 5th Century Apostle of Ireland. See, even history says RPattz has Irish roots.
4. He hangs out with IRELAND Baldwin
Photographic evidence, people:
Yeah, this is a stretch, but hey! Ireland Baldwin is named after the Emerald Isle, and she's Irish-American (dad Alec is an Irish Catholic).
5. Irish fans are petitioning for Pattinson to visit their country
Over 6,500 Irish (most likely teenage) Irish Pattinson fans have signed an online petition to bring their dreamboat across the pond to Ireland.
One petition signer comments: "hey ! Rob if you ever see this i just want to say everyone loves you in ireland. all you hear is people talking about you." About 10 other comments included the statement: "I would die if he came to Ireland."
Proof! According to the Irish themselves, Robert P. is most definitely qualified to be an honorary Irishman!
The official plea states: "Please Please sign! Help us get Robert Pattinson to Ireland.....he only lives across the pond!! Please.
"You don't need to be from Ireland to sign this petition but we need all the help we can get! We will help you in the future."
Desperate much? Nah - Ireland just has a lot of really enthusiastic RPattz fans, kind of like IrishCentral!

Robert Pattinson Day in the UK Gets BETTER
That's it! I am moving to UK. I mean I love men with British accents, I love rain and I love Indian food (just kidding:)) so why the hell not?
The makers of a short starring Robert Pattinson, THE SUMMER HOUSE, which is currently doing the film festival rounds prior to its public release, have very kindly put together a short behind-the-scenes featurette especially for our Robert Pattinson Day on Saturday 20 June. It will be shown at 4.15pm before the show of LITTLE ASHES at Aberdeen, Southampton, York and Clapham and is included in the ticket price as a little extra treat. (Apologies to fans in Liverpool where we are unable to show this bonus film for technical reasons.)
THE SUMMER HOUSE – a short film directed by Daisy Gili, based on a short story by Ian Beck.
What is love? A young girl flees to France to forget her boyfriend, but first his letters pursue her, then the boy himself follows her there. During a party to celebrate the moon landing she takes her own ‘small step’…

Robert Pattinson Day in The UK - June 20th
Thanks to Picture House Cinemas for hosting this wonderful event. Can you handle 3 Rob movies back to back? Well if you visit our site religiously then you probably can :))
Article by Gabriel at Picture House Blog:
The last to hear about Robert Pattinson
What began as a relatively unambitious programming idea at our cinema in York – a triple bill of films with a particular actor as the common link – has exploded into something of a national event.
20th June 2009 is now officially ROBERT PATTINSON DAY at Picturehouse Cinemas. I don’t think any of us had any idea how much of a star this Pattinson guy was. For the uninitiated (and there are probably only two of you out there now), Robert Pattinson is the young British actor who played Cedric Diggory in a couple of Harry Potter films. No? He played Art, a struggling musician who convinces the author of a self-help tome to come and live with him and his folks in HOW TO BE. Not that one either?
What about last month’s LITTLE ASHES, an arthouse pic that explores the relationship between Salvador Dalí and the poet Federico García Lorca. He plays Dalí. Still no? Well that, plus a couple of bad adverts, is pretty much the extent of Pattinson’s CV.
Oh, and TWILIGHT of course, last year’s blockbuster in which Pattinson plays Edward Cullen, a sultry sexy vampire, adapted from Stephanie Meyer’s best-selling novel. I must confess to missing this when it first opened. The books (Twilight is a saga with the second novel, New Moon, being adapted for the screen at the moment) have over 17 million readers worldwide. Yup, I missed them too.
Robert Pattinson’s star is currently stratospheric, and climbing. He’s been parked at the number one spot in IMDB’s STARmeter which is based on internet searches, and is never far from the top spot in the Celebrity Heat Index. TWILIGHT cleaned up at this year’s MTV Movie Awards too, winning Best Movie. Pattinson won Best Breakthrough Male while his co-star, Kristen Stewart, won Best Female Performance, and together they won the all-important Best Kiss.
So back to 20th June and what our cinema in York is calling the “Rob-O-Rama”: TWILIGHT, HOW TO BE and LITTLE ASHES will screen back to back throughout the day. The response to announcing this event was so incredible in York, with some fans planning to travel staggering distances to be there, that we decided we better add four more cinemas to cover the length and breadth of the land.
ROBERT PATTINSON DAY is happening simultaneously in Aberdeen, Southampton, Liverpool, York and Clapham in London. Our Phone Room reports a large percentage of Clapham’s bookings from as far as Herfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Buckinghamshire and Middlesex.
Liverpool has people attending the event from Yorkshire, Sale and Chester while Aberdeen reports of people travelling from Glasgow and Airdrie. Pattinson fans from as far as Bristol, the Isle of Wight and Chichester are travelling to Southampton. But York outdoes them all with one fan traveling all the way from Austria.
However, York was seen as a step too far for a fan in the United States who wrote on a website, “I want to go!!!!!!!!! Damn me for living in STUPID California!!!!!!” Talking of fan websites, there are some hilarious comments on some of the blogs out there. Read the comments at the bottom of the post on RobsessedPattinson.com.(Gozde: Hey, you guys are famous now :P Your comments are being read :)) It isn’t just Robert Pattinson fan websites that picked up this event however: German news site Bild.com picked it up, as did GQ.
So if you don’t know who Robert Pattinson is and you’ve read this far, you clearly have too much time on your hands and a “Rob-O-Rama” triple bill is perfect for you. If you do know of Robert Pattinson and are a fan then I should add that there are some special prizes at each venue that include signed posters by the man himself and mysterious goody bag.
Tickets are going fast with all the timings and booking information available on each cinema homepage via www.picturehouses.co.uk
See you there!
