And while Holbrook is constantly looking to the past to inform the future, the “Wall Street” actor still has some interesting run-ins with Hollywood up-and-comers. On the set of his upcoming movie, “Water for Elephants,” Holbrook worked alongside everyone’s favorite vampire — teenage heartthrob Robert Pattinson (of the “Twilight” series).

“I was astonished when I met him, because I met him with a couple friends of mine and the minute I looked at him, I said to him, ‘My God, you look like me as a young man,’” Holbrook said. “Everyone who was with me said, ‘Yeah, he really does.’”

Anything could happen during “MTV First: Robert Pattinson,” our live chat with the “Twilight” star on Friday. He did, after all, once drop two curses in less than two seconds during a live interview with us on the “Eclipse” red carpet. There’s no telling what might pop out of RPattz’s mouth during the live, 30-minute interview.

Whatever does happen, though, you can count on it being entertaining. In his own kinda awkward, always endearing way, Pattinson has a knack for delivering memorable sound bites. As we count down the days until “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” at 8:56 p.m. ET on Friday, we plucked out our 10 favorite quotes of his, ranging from those strange days when RPattz wasn’t yet a household name to recent comments about a “Breaking Dawn” photo of him in bed with Kristen Stewart.

10. “This is the first time, really, that I’ll be confronted with a bunch of Twilighters. I guess I can see for myself. But I’m kind of nervous about it.” — At Comic-Con in 2008

9. “The worst part is you’ve got to work almost every single day, which is something I’m never going to get used to.” — On the downside of being Edward Cullen, at the Los Angeles premiere of “New Moon”

Robert Pattinson later confessed that the kiss “didn’t work,” but there are legions of “Twilight” fans who would surely disagree. That smooch with Kristen Stewart, after all, might just be the closest any fan will ever get to seeing the duo lock lips in a setting where they’re not pretending to be Forks, Washington, lovebirds.

It all went down at the MTV Movie Awards in June of last year, when Pattinson and Stewart took the stage to accept the Golden Popcorn statue for Best Kiss and ended up, awkwardly and charmingly, kissing onstage. The moment immediately became one of the most memorable in Movie Awards history, so it’s no surprise that it’s also one of our favorite RPattz moments — a top-five list we’re counting down before the debut of “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” this Friday at 8:56 p.m. ET.

Recently, artist Richard Phillips decided to paint some of the brightest young Hollywood stars for his “Most Wanted” Exhibit at the White Cube Gallery in London. The exhibition featured Phillips’ take on stars like Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Dakota Fanning, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kristen Stewart and, yes, even Robert Pattinson and that famous head of hair.

The show may have wrapped up a few weeks back, but in anticipation of “MTV First: Robert Pattinson,” we wanted to bring you all the best bites from our interview with the artist, who dished about what makes Robert Pattinson one of the “Most Wanted” in Hollywood.

It was early April 2008, and “Twilight” hadn’t yet become a global box-office phenomenon and set off an epidemic of pop-culture copycats seeking to suck up some of the franchise’s supernatural lifeblood. Back then, when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were just two up-and-coming actors making a movie for an independent studio, MTV News traveled to the film’s Portland, Oregon, set to find out just what was happening with this gothic-tinged love story everyone seemed to be buzzing about.

The duo were alternately shy and unguarded, jokey and awkward, and generally far different than they are these days, with the press invading every aspect of their personal and professional lives. That’s why, even years later, our first-ever “Twilight” interview remains one of our favorite RPattz moments. And as we count down the days until “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” airs next Friday at 8:56 p.m. ET, we hauled the footage from our vaults.

“Kristen’s the best actress of her generation, and that’s why I wanted to do this movie. I don’t know why she is, but she’s better than everyone else,” Pattinson told us, breaking out into laughter as he kept the attention on his co-star and away from himself.

I’ve added new still of Robert Pattinson in “Water For Elephants” movie to the gallery.

Here’s an excerpt interview of Robert Pattinson’s co-star in Bel Ami movie, Holliday Granger talks about Robert Pattinson with InStyle UK.

In Bel Amì, my character marries Robert Pattinson. Robert is lovely. I worked with him pre-Twilight and he’s not changed since then.The leads are Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci, so I’d turn up to make-up trailer and be like, “I’m sitting next to Uma”.

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has been hard at work promoting her new flick, Red Riding Hood, with Amanda Seyfried. But that doesn’t mean she’s forgotten past stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

“I’d love to [work with them again], if the right project comes up at the right time, that would be awesome,” Cath dished at the RRH premiere Monday.

“I think they’re wonderful; they’re super close to my heart.”

Because she takes credit for getting them together, duh! Although she proceeded with caution at the time.

“I was exactly right there when they first met, so I saw it all from the beginning,” Hardwicke told us years ago about Robsten’s romance. ”I saw that they both had that wonderful fascination with each other, and that’s why I cast Rob.”
