Thanks Flavia for the tip!

This interview is from the Life Berlinale Press Junket.  You know my wariness of print interviews, but I do love Rob’s new confidence and ambition and you know what he exudes it when you see him at events like Berlinale and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, so yeah I’m posting this one:

“EN Interview 1 – Ever since the Twilight films turned him into an object of mass attention, Robert Pattinson has tried to find his way clear of fan obsession and make his mark as a serious actor. Films like Cosmopolis and Bel Ami helped distance audiences from his vampire alter ego, and now, in Anton Corbijn’s Life, Pattinson gives what is arguably the best performance of his career. The 28-year-old heartthrob plays Dennis Stock, the photographer whose iconic photos of James Dean during the last months of his life have sustained the actor’s legend even more than his films. [My emaphsis]

“James Dean is very much an iconic figure to me,” Pattinson says. “He represents disaffected youth and alienation in a powerful way that still resonates with us. Those photos of Dean, like the one where he is walking in Times Square, are much more part of our image and impression of him than his films. You can feel his aura and mystique in those photos.“

It was an ironic choice of roles for Pattinson who was able to experience what life is like on the other side of the camera lens: “When you’re on the red carpet, it’s an eerie experience because you don’t see the photographers because you’re blinded by the lights and flashes most of the time! As a photographer, you get to hide behind your camera.“

…

I love these upclose videos of Rob from the Berlinale “Life” Press Conference.  Obviously nothing new other than the angle and closer filming.

This little video popped up on Associated Press.  Rob talks about not watching himself and also the photos he took with the Leica.  I think we’ve heard or read bits of this before because I remember thinking I want to see those photos Rob took.

 

Gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe this photo
