NEW Rob Interview with NWZ Online: Being Accused of Being Typecast "Gives You Energy"

 

Google Translated for now

Robert Pattinson is equally represented with two films at this year's Berlin Film Festival. In the one he plays James Dean photographers. In the interview the former vampire-Star, as it was earlier at the Hollywood legend.

In Berlin Hotel de Rome luxury hotel in central Berlin, tucked away in a salon in the area behind the lobby, is Robert Pattinson interview on Monday for his Berlinale film "Life". Beard, tousled hair, on the table before him a Coke bottle. Before we go with the first question wrong, the 28-year-old, who became world famous as vampire Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" films takes to quickly bring chewing gum.

In "Life" by Anton Corbijn Pattinson plays the young photographer Dennis Stock, who discovered James Dean before his breakthrough in Hollywood. From floor to date is the famous picture of James Dean, where he runs with cigarette in mouth and upturned coat collar over the rainy Times Square in New York. In the interview, the German Press Agency Pattinson talks about his James Dean-phase and over his image as a heartthrob.

 Question: James Dean is one of the great icons of our time. What is your impression of him?

Answer: I think every actor has eventually a phase with a certain James Dean obsession. When I was 16 or 17 years old, has just always been a James Dean imitation - no matter what the role. (...) I think James Dean liked it when people looked at him. But there are also the other actors who do not know exactly why they are actors. (laughs) I think I belong more like it.

Question: What did you do when you imitate James Dean?

Answer: Because it was mainly about the body language. For example, something like this: (It supports the elbows on the thighs and puts his head briefly on hand from). Whoever has seen me as I imitated James Dean, has probably wondered what I was doing!

Question: Since the end of the "Twilight" saga you have with directors such as David Cronenberg, Werner Herzog and now just turned Anton Corbijn. See "Twilight" opens the door for new projects or is it more a curse, not least because so your image is created as a heartthrob?

Answer: It really did me just fine. Everyone has to contend with anything. It also has a good thing when people accuse you of being cast for a particular type. This will help you to try to be cast for different things. (...) It gives you energy so to speak. (...) It's fun, so to refute an image.
