Rob's Interview

April 14th, 2014. It’s been fourteen minutes since Robert Pattinson disappeared into one of the rooms of this huge warehouse, transformed into a photo studio to get his make-up done. When he finally steps out, his face covered in black and white paint that will fade moments later when we finish throwing litres of water & Gatorade at his face. It is clear that the teenage idol from the Twilight saga has completely disappeared. He left in his place an actor that is more and more fascinating, an artist – He is the one who imagined the different staging of the session with the photographer Danielle Levitt – whose filmography is starting to seriously impress. Since the beginning of the year, he’s filmed with Werner Herzog (Queen of the Desert) & Anton Corbijn (Life), to which he’ll soon add Harmony Korine and James Gray (The Lost City of Z). After presenting Cosmopolis there in 2012, he is making his come back to Cannes with two films: Maps to the Stars, which marks his reunion with David Cronenberg, and The Rover, the new feature film of the Australian prodigy David Michôd (Animal Kingdom, 2011). A western of tetanized anticipation in which Pattinson, more baffling that ever, proves that the future belongs to him.

PREMIERE: We left you two years ago in the back of the limousine in Cosmopolis and we find you once again driving one in the new film by David Cronenberg, Maps to the Stars. Did he do it on purpose?
ROBERT PATTINSON: Maybe we’re building a trilogy around limousines… I don’t know if it was a conscious decision on his part or not.

PREMIERE: The recurring aspect is that in each film, you sleep with an accomplished actress…
ROBERT: That scene with Julianne Moore was so funny. And we had just met one another before we had to shoot it.

PREMIERE: It was also the case with Juliette Binoche when you filmed the sex scene in Cosmopolis. Is it your new way of welcoming actresses on set?
ROBERT: I remember seeing Juliette before we started shooting the scene. She was giving me advice: “Keep choosing classy projects and filming intelligent films.” And suddenly, David says “Action!” and we start fucking like beasts in the car. Very classy, that’s right… (Laughing). On top of that, it was boiling hot. I was sweating like crazy and huge drops of sweat were running down my forehead. I asked myself if I wasn’t having a heart attack. Every time a drop was falling, I was trying to stop it from ending up on Julianne’s back. It was ridiculous. After a while she turned back in my direction, worried and asked me: “Are you okay? Are you having a panic attack?” I was out of breath, completely drenched, meanwhile her, not at all.

PREMIERE: You don’t seem like the type of actor who only does half of the job.
ROBERT: Exactly. It’s my own sweat that you see on the screen. In The Rover, my problem was the flies. I had never seen anything like it. We were constantly covered in fake blood and once we came out, fifty flies started surrounding us. All day long, it wouldn’t stop.
