I’ve added new high quality stills of Robert Pattinson, Reese & Christoph at “Le Grand Journal” show on April 29, 2011.

1. Your character in Water for Elephants share something with your character in Twilight, love. Jacob wants to offer a better life Reese’s character even if it means sacrificing himself. What would you be willing to do for love?
It depends. It is a difficult question. Love usually flows freely, with some exceptions.

2. Hi Rob, first I’d like to welcome you to our country. I read the book “water for elephants” over the weekend, fell in love with the character your portray and the story. One of my biggest concerns is whether the script was closely adapted from the book or have there been big changes made. Best regards from a twilight-mom, fan of yours and of Edward Cullen. Hope you have a good time these days and you take away good memories of our country.
I think it’s very close. There are a couple of characters in the book that are not in the script. And there are good changes in my opinion. The book tells of a rather dark circus, but the circus of the film is brighter with more light.

3. Having been presenting “Water for Elephants” in various cities around the world, where have you encountered the roudiest fans? the most affectionate? Thank you very much, I admire your work, your smile and your sympathy. Do not change
Certainly there are many differences. Speaking of fans in Spain, they get very excited and transmit a lot of energy.

4. “Are you ever gonna take a vacation between projects? You need to rest too … Ana, Madrid
I hope so. But I will not be able to do in the coming months.

5. The performance I most enjoyed was that of Salvador Dali in LittleAshes. What place does it hold for you?

It was important. He’s a fascinating character. For me it was the first role that I really got into.

6. Do you consider yourself an enigmatic guy? “I do think you are, you’re perfect.
I used to think it was. The more people know you, the less enigmatic you are.

7. Of the Twilight series, what was the movie that you liked best to film and why?
I think the first. It was the most fun to shoot. The second also because there wasn’t as much craziness yet…

8. Is it coincidence that most of his films are based on best sellers, does that give you security when accepting a script? Thanks. Ana Pastrana.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s gonna do well because it’s based on a bestseller.

9. The first thing to greet you and congratulate you on your success, I think you’re a great actor and professional. In this new film, Water for Elephants Have you ever had a scene that for a moment thought I was going to be impossible to interpret? Maybe a stunt, or a scene that made you feel personally uncomfortable. Thank you very much Robert.
The final scene in the script seemed totally impossible. It took a long time to shoot.

10. What do you like doing in your spare time?
I hardly ever have any free time, but when I do, I like to do nothing. Nothing special.

The Lost Boy

Is there anything more to Robert Pattinson than stellar genes and a good line in brooding? You bet, says Hermione Eyre

When I arrive at Fox studios in Los Angeles, the mid-morning sunshine is already crazy-bright. “Go straight ahead till you reach the doughnut,” says security guard, gesturing toward a 12ft sculpture honouring Homer Simpson. “And then keep going, past the Star Wars mural, till you get to a row of penguins. Opposite the panguis, there’s a hedge sculpted in the shape pf a violin. You should find Mr. Pattinson there.” This is the mad, make-believe world that Robert Pattinson now inhabits. He’s here doing last-minute voice dubbing, even though it’s Sunday and the studious are deserted, because he is currently Britains’s highest-paid actor (last year’s Sunday Times Rich List put the 24-years-old’s worth at £ 13 million) and his work is never done. He is a nice boy from leafy Barnes, west London, who became an international teen idol after his brooding performance in the scarily popular vampire saga Twilight (now a tetralogy). He is the Keanu Reeves of the Facebook generation; Leonardo DiCaprio for age of Twitter. He shaves his sdieburns or has a beer and thousands of fans comment about it. He has even acquired a slightly demeaning nickname: RPattz. But while his character Edward Cullen is doomed to stay 17 for ever, Pattinson is growing up and moving on.

No more blockbuster franchises: he is about to shoot Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis, directed by auteur David Cronenberg (“The novel reads like an incredibly long poem,” says Pattinson enthusiastically. “The film’s going to be totaly an utterly out there”). He has also stepped into the role of leading man in two films this year, first opposite Reese Witherspoon in the circus epic Water for Elephants, then with Uma Thurman in the Gut de Maupassant adaptation Bel Ami. Older women, as he tells me, are nothing new to him: “Every girl I went out with in my teens was older than me. My first girlfriend was 26, I was 17. Women who were older always seemed more exciting.” Because they knew more? “I guess so. I used to think I was a bit of a bad-ass when I was younger. I liked that it annoyed people how much younger I was. I liked walking into a room with a woman and people looking at us and thinking: they do not look like together.”

If these women are well-dressed, I can see why observers might make that judgement. Today, Pattinson is wearing tatty vintage sunglasses, black sweatshirt, black T-shirt, black jeans and the unshaven, rumpled air of a man who has woken up to find that his car has already been waiting outside for some time. This happens to him a lot, I think. He dumps his cigarettes, laptop and keys on the table and sighs at his own laziness. “My ideal job would be one day a week. When I first started acting, I’d get one job a year that lasted three months, and then I’d do nothing the rest of the time but I’d have enough money to survive. I’d read all the papers every day, get in a lot of DVDs… That was great.” He breaks into a wide-cheekboned smile, eyes heavy-lidded, gentle and slightly feline; like James Dean, without the self-hatred.

Laurent: Did you visit Paris?
Rob: I didn’t have time to visit, even tho I love Paris, it’s my favorite city. I’d like to enjoy it but I’m stuck in my hotel room all the time. You don’t always have time to go out whne you’re working.

Laurent:: What do you feel when you see scenes from the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William? Do you feel eomtional? Are you smiling? Is it important for you?
Rob: I mean, yeha. I didn’t realise that I would feel that emotional, especially when they left the chapel as an oridnary but loving couple, it was touching. I didn’t think I would be interested at all, and then I saw how many people were fascniated about this Cinderella story. They’re just two normal people but intriguing at the same time. It’s funny to see what people are imagining when they look at them. We like to watch famous people, trying to decipher if they’re dumb or not *laughs* But it’s different when it comes to the Royal family, we feel like they’re untouchable.

Laurent:: RP stay with us, we’re going to watch the first scenes from Water For Elephants, your last movie, where you play along side Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Walt. Commentary by Pascal Deschamps.

In Paris, like London or Berlin, it’s not much to say that Robert Pattinson attracts crowds. It’s the Twilight effect, it is not an hairspray brand but a series of vampires movies, from which he was the big discovery. A helping hand from destiny, maybe, which also could have been a liability. Before making him the hero of his movie, the director hesitated a lot.

Francis Lawrence: Honestly, I didn’t know what Robert was capable of. The Twilight movies are so stylised, you can’t even recognize him with the contacts and the makeup and the hair. But when I met him, I thought he was fitting for the character.

…Some scenes, Reese and Christoph are talking. (I can translate that if anyone’s interested)
Luarent: Did you need to do something new, to leave the world of vampires? Did you need to prove yourself that you could do something diferent?
Rob: I don’t think so, I don’t think I needed any proving. It was a nice change. The only thing that worried me was to see if people were going to accept me as this character or not.

Laurent: Did the director, Francis Lawrence, manage to transport you into this 1930′s universe, this particuliar universe which is dark but bright at the same time?
Rob: Him and the production made enormous efforts to make everyone believe we were on a real circus, with material from the 30s. When we were on the set, it was amazing, everything was so authentic. It was so different from this set for example, where when you leave, everything changes, but on this movie…
