Between the shooting of the Twilight movies, he dismissed the clothes and fangs of the vampire to play the part of a student who has to deal with the struggles of a 20 year old (“A kind of anger I know quite well”) and love. And, about girls, he has a way to recognize the good ones.
If humankind is divided between the 'I wish but I can't' party and the 'I could but I don't want to' party, I propose Robert Pattinson as worldwide candidate of the second party. 23 years old, vampire in spite of himself, unwilling sexy icon, the guy with a suitcase (he has 3 suitcases actually, like the years he has been spending living in hotels) looks at the world through a porthole and thinks 'Duh' (Babs: this is a quote from an Italian song, it doesn't make much sense in English...). Then he plays a guitar chord, drinks a beer, crunches a Twix and goes on.
He admits that he has never had the sacred fire of art, but he was a good looking guy and the acting school of the Barnes Theatre Company was a good place to meet girls. One thing leads to another and you find yourself on the set of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Then you happen to find out that they're auditioning for Twilight and you record a tape with a friend, but you think it's so bad that you don't send it in. But, since luck can be much more stubborn than you, you get a call and the leading role.
