Robert Pattinson talks Halloween, New Years and more

Rob talks about spending New Years with friends and his Harry Potter outfit that we posted about HERE.  The full print interview is below.  It seems to me that some of this is new but that it also appears that W Magazine and British Vogue are one and the same ha!  We did hear about WarHammer HERE (and who could forget that). Anyway – here it is.

 

From W Magazine:

There’s a certain amount of Hollywood cache an actor accrues after starring in a multibillion dollar franchise like the Twilight movies, which brought in over $3.3 billion worldwide over its five-picture run. Robert Pattinson, for one, has spent his creative bankroll interestingly—like making strange, near-experimental movies with David Cronenberg (Cosmopolis, Maps to the Stars) and even playing second fiddle to Guy Pearce and Charlie Hunnam (The Rover and The Lost City of Z, respectively) while also stealing those critically-liked films from the headliners. But at a certain point, a former heartthrob’s “interesting” choices cease to be so interesting the farther he gets away from his heartthrob peak without a second breakthrough role. With 2017’s Good Time, however, Robert Pattinson’s second coming was apparent to everyone who saw the surprise hit. The Safdie brothers-directed heist movie was smart, fun, twisty, and the most propulsive film of the last year—and Pattinson carried the whole show on his shoulders. We always knew he was an interesting guy who liked interesting projects. This performance confirmed all that and more, with Pattinson receiving a nomination for best male lead at the Independent Spirit Awards this year. Here, he reveals to W editor at large Lynn Hirschberg his always unconventional tastes, from an early age on.

Let’s do some fun questions: What was your favorite Halloween costume ever?
I mean I, I can only really remember properly dressing up once, in one of my best friend’s mom’s clothes. She got very upset with me.

So you went as a woman?
Not just as a woman, it was kind of a sort of Charlie Chaplin-ish kind of demon. But I stole lots of my friend’s mom’s clothes from her closet, and she got extremely upset afterwards. But also the next day I remember going back to my apartment and in the courtyard there’s a funeral going on in the morning. [Laughs.] I had to walk back at 9 AM after being up all night dressed as demon old lady clown, and walk into a wake. [Laughs.] I mean, it was pretty incredible.

Did you have fun dressed as a demon old lady clown?
Yeah, I love dressing up. This Halloween I walked into the most extreme, ah, fancy dress party. I was absolutely normcore and it was the most humiliating experience of my life.I didn’t really know that it was probably the most intense costume party in London and I had just come from somewhere else. So, ah, yeah it was very, very embarrassing.

Oh, I’m sure they loved to see you anyway. What was your favorite or most memorable New Year’s?
Probably when I was 18 or 19, I’m trying to remember which one. We went swimming in the ocean at midnight and it was freezing and it was just one of those kind of amazing, calamitous evenings. So we thought we’d lost one of our friends and had to kind of do a search party across the whole island and realized he’d just, um, thought he ran a bath but fell asleep in an empty bath. [Laughs.] And had hypothermia. [Laughs.]

New Images of Robert Pattinson as Samuel Alabaster in Damsel + Butterscotch

The Hollywood Reporter shared “exclusive” images from Damsel which includes this new one of Rob as Samuel Alabaster and also one of his tiny horse “Butterscotch” (how could I not include).  The other two which include Rob we have seen previously HERE and HERE.  Also from THR:

Directed by the Zellner Brothers (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter), the movie stars Pattinson as Samuel Alabaster, an affluent pioneer who ventures across the American frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope (Mia Wasikowska). He traverses the Wild West with a drunkard and a miniature horse named Butterscotch; however, their once-simple journey grows treacherous.

Directors David and Nathan Zellner also wrote, produced and appear in the humor-filled film, which is being described as “a loving reinvention of the Western genre.”

What a great way to start 2018.  Bring it.

Robert Pattinson nominated in Best Actor Category for Evening Standard British Film Awards

“Yes Robert, you go boy.”  I always hear Rob saying that when I get excited about him being nominated for legit awards.  You may recall a few weeks ago I posted that Rob was on the long list for Best Actor nominations for the Evening Standard British Film Awards held in partnership with Claridges.  The short list was published early this morning (Sydney time) and Rob’s in the short list.  From The Evening Standard:

The awards, held in partnership with Claridge’s, celebrate British and Irish talent. Stars shortlisted for best actor are Sam Claflin, for Journey’s End, Robert Pattinson, for Good Time, and Jamie Bell, for Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool. They are joined by Gary Oldman, who plays Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, and Daniel Kaluuya, for Get Out.

Best Actor

Jamie Bell, Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool
Sam Claflin, Journey’s End
Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out
Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour

The winners will be announced at the ceremony at Claridge’s on 8 February 2018.  Fingers crossed, although I fear Gary Oldman may have this all sewn up.  Happy to be proven wrong!
