Rob attended a Dior awards and private party in Paris on Wednesday 27 September 2023.
For those who don’t know, Rob’s production company Icki Eneo Arlo produced the recent film “Rotting in the Sun”. Rob recently interview the star Jordan Firstman for Interview Magazine. Below is the interview conducted over Zoom:
“Jordan Firstman is in his movie star era. The 32-year-old writer and comedian got famous by posting during lockdown, mostly in the form of impressions and character sketches on his Instagram page. But talent that big can’t be contained to an iPhone screen, which led Firstman, who was getting bored of social media fame anyway, to his first starring role in the Sebastián Silva-directed Rotting in the Sun. In the sex-and-ketamine powered dark comedy, Firstman and Silva play versions of themselves in a sort-of retelling of how they first met on a gay beach in Mexico. What follows is a dead-on satire of a world where clout-chasing and creativity collide—to reveal any more would spoil the experience (you can watch it on Mubi). One person who loved it was Robert Pattinson, who signed on as a producer through his company Icki Eneo Arlo shortly before the movie’s Sundance premiere. A few weeks ago, he joined Firstman on Zoom to ask about social media fame, courting controversy, and gay sex.
JORDAN FIRSTMAN: Hey, what’s up?
ROBERT PATTINSON: How’s it going?
FIRSTMAN: Are you still in London?
PATTINSON: Yeah. I’m so brain foggy. I feel like I’m jet lagged, but I’m not. Are you in L.A.?
FIRSTMAN: I’m back in L.A.
PATTINSON: Is this the first time you’re promoting something in a conventional movie sense?
FIRSTMAN: Yeah. I’ve done traditional press before, but I’ve never had to talk about the same project to 50 different outlets and be asked the same questions over and over again. No one teaches you how to do that.
PATTINSON: I was thinking that this morning while doing my research for this interview, which was looking at your Instagram when I was on the toilet for about five minutes. [Laughs]
Rob attended the Dior Womens Spring Summer Fashion Show in Paris on 26 September 2023. Always a surprise when Rob turns up to these shows.
We reported back in January 2023 that Rob’s production company was involved with “Rotting in the Sun”. Rob attended MUBI In Partnership With BUTT Magazine Presents UK Premiere Of “Rotting In The Sun” on 8 September 2023. Here’s some lovely photos – I feel like it’s been ages since we saw Rob on a red carpet. That’s Jason Firstman, writer of the film.
Jamie recently took part in Wired’s “Autocomplete Interview” and had this to say about Rob. From The Insider:
Jamie Dornan admitted he was envious of his former roommate Robert Pattinson‘s early luck in Hollywood at the start of his career.
“I’ve known Rob forever,” Dornan said while participating in the latest edition of Wired’s “Autocomplete Interview” video series, released Monday. “He’s a really good friend. I love him. I think he’s one of the most interesting, exciting actors around.”
“I probably at one point was quite jealous early on,” the Irish actor continued. “We were all friends back in London and Rob was going places and we weren’t. I think he’s the nicest guy in the world.”
“I think with Rob it’s always been like, he sort of had success earlier, so we were a bit like, ‘Does he really fit in with us?’ Because we were not working and he’s working all the time,” Dornan explained to Entertainment Tonight in March 2022. “He did ‘Twilight’ and was suddenly in a different stratosphere than us.”
