There are two really interesting Little Ashes articles published in Out.Com by Michael Martin.  The first is Love in the Time of Lorca  where he obviously discusses the relationship between Lorca and Dali and has some interesting comments from Javier Beltram, Philippa Gossett and Paul Morrison.  Morrison says:

“I didn’t really know him from the Harry Potter movies,” … “And then he came and did this reading, and he was so lovely and vulnerable and smart in the way Dalí was. If he played Dalí like the caricature we’re familiar with, nobody would care that Lorca was falling in love with him. You’d want to say to him, ‘Get the hell out of this relationship — this guy is trouble.’ But Robert manages to make this guy really interesting from the start.”

Then there’s Golden Age where he interviews Matthew McNulty about his role as Luis Buñuel.   Matthew shares his first encounter with Rob:

“I was a little bit nervous, to be honest,” he says. “Before I went I’d heard a lot about Rob and thought, All right, he’s really good-looking. When I knocked on his hotel room door, there was no answer, and I thought, God, he’s with girls or something. But he was just sitting on the balcony with his computer and a massive Dalí book.

Computer and a massive Dali book – yep sounds like Rob, but I’m sure there was a cigarette in hand too.  If you want to read the full article just click on the titles.
