Rob's Interview With San Diego 6 - talks about his relationship with his dad and fame

Emilie De Ravin didn`t know who co-star Robert Pattinson was



Remember Me star Emilie De Ravin has said she didn't know who co-star Robert Pattinson was before the movie.

De Ravin, 28, who also played Claire in US drama Lost, admitted that she wasn't aware of his level of fame prior to shooting the film.

She said: 'I didn't really know who he was! I've never been a tabloid reader or a person who follows what somebody is going to the grocery shop for.'

De Ravin added: 'The fan base is wonderful. But shooting with Rob in New York was crazy. There were girls climbing all over him, which did make things difficult.

'He'd been through it all before, but it was very new to me. Because the majority of fans were teenage girls, I felt like: 'Oh, God, they all hate me!''

Robert Pattinson Thinks He's Ready for a Baby



The Edward Cullen of 'Twilight' movie series admits that he loves the idea of becoming a big brother or even having his own child, stating 'I think I'm getting broody'. Robert Pattinson is keen to start a family after his parents and siblings fooled him into thinking his mum was pregnant five years ago. The idea of having a baby brother to look after thrilled the "Twilight" star - but the pregnancy announcement turned out to be nothing but an April Fool's Day prank.

And Pattinson has been keen to become a big brother - or a dad - ever since. He says, "I've always liked the idea of having a younger sibling. My family tricked me about five years ago that my mum was pregnant. I didn't realize it was April Fool's Day!"

"I spent the entire day saying I was gonna have a little brother and told all my friends it was the best thing in my entire life. I carried on for like three days believing it!"

And playing a big brother in his new movie "Remember Me" has only fueled Pattinson's parenting dreams. He adds, "After working on this movie, whenever I see a part now with a younger brother, or a part where I've got a kid... I just love the idea of that. I think I'm getting broody. It's so bizarre."

Take this with a grain of salt but I do remember watching a video from the New Moon promo where he said he wanted to be a young father so ...

National Post Talks About Rob and Remember Me: Rebel, Rebel



The consensus is that Robert Pattinson has mastered the James Dean art of brooding as the sullen poster boy for the latest generation.

Pattinson's heartthrob status has been defined by his portrayal of the conflicted vampire-in-recovery, Edward Cullen, in the popular Twilight film series based on the Stephenie Meyer novels.

First, there was Twilight in 2008, New Moon last year and Eclipse set for release, to a great deal of anticipation, on June 30. Breaking Dawn, the finale, is expected to be released as two movies over the next few years.

In other words, the English actor is committed to the Edward sulk for at least another few films. But that doesn't mean Pattinson's become self-entitled or satisfied with his accomplishments.

His latest effort to expand on his brooding horizons arrives with his role in Remember Me, which opens March 12.

In the romantic drama, set in life-altering new millennium times, Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young New Yorker who clashes with his overbearing father (Pierce Brosnan) in the aftermath of his brother's sudden death.

Only when Tyler meets up with the charming Ally (Emilie de Ravin) does he find some peace of mind and a reason to believe, though this may be threatened by Ally's protective Manhattan cop dad (Chris Cooper).

To say that Pattinson as Tyler redefines James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause angst is not an exaggeration, although the actor expresses some reservations about the assessment.

"I think it's a fairly typical state to be in," notes Pattinson of the classic rebellious posturing of his character. "And yes, I think there's that element, but I was also interested in the arrogant things about Tyler."

The good news for Pattinson is that he could protect the delicate tone and texture as a producer on the film. Yet, he's hesitant to take credit.

"I'm kind of embarrassed about the producing thing, because I wasn't really acting like a proper producer," he confesses. "I only came on after filming to help make sure the product was the product we all wanted to make at the end."

Indeed, Remember Me is precious to him, so he wanted to ensure the project wasn't modified or diminished in the post-production phase.

"The way Tyler reacted to specific things seemed very relatable to me," Pattinson admits. "I hadn't seen a character like it in a hundred scripts, so when it came available between filming New Moon and Eclipse, I went for it, because it seemed like a perfect fit."

He has lots of choices available to him, thanks to Twilight. Before his debut as a vampire, the London-born Pattinson was introduced to the modelling world by his mother, Clarie, who worked for an agency in the city. He was successful as a teen and found time to get involved in a neighbourhood theatre group while performing pop music as well.

Subsequently, a TV and movie agent liked what he saw and signed Pattinson. As good fortune and timing would have it, Pattinson eventually won a high-profile cameo in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, portraying the doomed Cedric Diggory. Shortly after the release of that Potter picture, he was dubbed the next Jude Law.

But that's not why Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke selected Pattinson to play Edward opposite Kristen Stewart's Bella.

"Their chemistry was instant," recalled Hardwicke just before the release of the first film. In fact, Stewart and Pattinson connected so convincingly, they have been linked romantically.

What Hardwicke didn't mention is that a determined Pattinson had to endure multiple Edward auditions to beat out more than 5,000 other actors from around the globe. He has that kind of drive.

Still, Pattinson says he never anticipated the overwhelming -- and constricting -- attention that arrived with his Twilight role. Indeed, he's still baffled by the intensity, just as he was when filming began in New York last year for Remember Me.

"The first two weeks were kind of crazy, because I was all around NYU and Washington Square Park where there would be tons of people around anyway," he says, referring to the hundreds of Twi-hards who showed up during shooting there. "I just tried to block things out."

Mind you, that's all the Twilight series and Remember Me have in common -- and Pattinson is thankful for that. He insists that he doesn't take roles "that are polar opposites of Edward Cullen," but he does appreciate the change of pace.

Currently, he's enjoying his against-type performance in Bel Ami, an R-rated drama with a racy sex sequence due in theatres next year.

"I think there's a kind of irony in Bel Ami, because a lot of the women are attracted to my character," says Pattinson, smiling ever so slightly, "and then he kind of screws them over and steals their money, which I think is quite funny compared to my Twilight character."
