Listen to new interview of Robert on the Australia’s radio show, b105 – 105.3. Robert Pattinson discussed what’s he going to do on his birthday, taking his mom to premieres and more.

I’ve added some new photos of Robert Pattinson taken along with some his lovely fans during their Meet & Greet Session in London. Photo courtesy via original photographer.

Fan encounter experience via Lynne:

I won a meet and greet competition with MTV UK not the Graham Norton show (I had tickets for the graham norton show). My prize was accommodation at the HIlton in Kensington with private transport arranged to get me to a 5* hotel in Mayfair to meet Robert Pattinson personally. It was a group photo only due to time constraints but I stood next to Rob and spoke with him briefly afterwards. He asked me if I was going to the premiere and after I told him I had seen the movie, he asked me what i thought of it. I told him I thought it was brilliant and that he was amazing in it. My friend and i were able to give Rob a birthday gift of an autographed Van Morrison CD of Brown Eyed girl and a birthday card which he was overhwhelmed to receive. He said “wow, that’s absolutely amazing, thank you so much” and gave my friend Jackie the best hug. After the meet and greet we dashed off across London to be in the audience at the filming of the Graham Norton show, where we had the joy of watching Rob on the stage before our eyes for over an hour. What a day!

Robert Pattinson made a stop in Barcelona, during the Water for Elephant promotional tour, to talk about his latest movie, his farewell to Edward Cullen, and how he deals with fame.

You have a special relationship with Spain. You even lived in Barcelona while filming Little Ashes, where you interpreted Salvador Dali.
It’s true, even though they’ve always given me a warm welcome, I have fond memories of Barcelona, But if you ask me I wouldn’t be able to tell you where the apartment in which I lived for a few weeks is. The Little Ashes crew was almost all Spaniards, only two or three spoke English and they treated me well. That film was part of the turning point in my career. I have good memories of that experience.

After wrapping up filming of Twilight, were you in a rush to change images?
In reality, I’ve never worried about how the public sees me or the image the audience has of me. You also have to keep in mid that the people who watch Twilight are very different. For example, those older than 25 don’t perceive it the same as teenagers, who are the ones that scream at premieres. As you get older, you start to mature and like different things. The same has happened to me as an actor.

So, as of this point will we see a more mature actor, a Pattinson who has grown older?
Like I said before, what worries me the least is doing things for others. A lot of actors, when finishing a period of their career, like is happening to me at the moment, make the mistake of complaining about their past, of attacking everything that made them popular. I don’t want to fall into that.

Have you ever lost a role for which you were consider too handsome to represent it?
I don’t think so (laughs), they’ve giving me all sorts of apologies but not that I’m too handsome. The truth is people started seeing me as handsome after the Twilight premiere. Before I had interpreted other roles and never heard anything about my looks. Being seen as handsome is a matter of what’s in style.

I’ve added new scans of Robert Pattinson featured on “OK” magazine, Phillippine version to the gallery.

Do you remember the last time you have been incognito?
When has it been? Oh yeah, recently at a dinner. I was told at the reception that there’s a table with 18 persons next to mine. I thought knee-jerked “Oh no, a gaggle of teenagers?”. There have been 18 Asian kids but none knew me. I had the most relaxing dinner for ages.

If you compare your life as a megastar with one of a guy from London who makes a night of, what are you missing most?
To meet new people. It sounds strange when somebody with my profession says this but I mean really get known new people. Mostly, I’m asking myself twice if I can trust people so the most relationships stay casually.

Whom did you adore when you were a teenager?
Puppy love wasn’t my thing. Maybe Arsenal London but that’s it.

Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz have an OSCAR at home, you are known as a teenage-swarm. How could you assert yourself?
It was very easy. You should always work with the best, it’s easy for you then. Reese and Christoph have been a kind of insurance package.

In your movies, you’re suffering all the time. Must love always hurt?
When you look at my character in WfE, of course! Nearly every time I kiss Reese I get hurt afterwards (laughs)

You have a liability to complicated relationships in your movies. A vampire who is doomed to virginity, a keeper who’s in love with his boss’ wife…
It’s a mere chance! A love story doesn’t have to have a happy end but to a life-long friendship. Everything else is a cliché and I’m bored about it.

Don’t you like the idea of a romantic, the absolute love?
Oh yeah, definitely. In the movies the people have always to work very hard to be happy in the end. In the real life it’s happening very easy and you abandon oneself for love.

How does a woman have to be, to conquer your heart?
Puh. I always had a crush on girls who don’t like me. I like if someone is intelligent, talented and ambitious.

Like Kristen Stewart
(smiles and silence)

Reese Witherspoon is supposed to disliked the love scences with you…
Hm, maybe Reese was just not turned on? No, I think it was because she was close to her wedding and she didn’t want to have something with another guy.

Would it stir you to have something going on with a married women?
No, I’m not the guy who would steal somebody else’ girl.

Was it more easy to get body contact with your other co-star?
Tai is really different from how you’re imagine an elephant, she’s incredible. So deliberate and careful. Once, she nearly lied on my without even touching me, although she could have smashed me with one single move. I think she has deformed me for all co-stars to come. Just babies and animals are so selfless in front of a camera. Amongst adult actors is always a kind of comprehension.

Are you talking about Christoph Waltz?
No, I swear: Christoph is the funniest guy you can imagine. No reason to be nervous. He is always asked: Can Robert Pattinson really act? He always defends me, you see, he’s a great guy (laughs)

What do you think, why do people still think you’re a not-talented teenie star?
That’s the way it is. When you’re successful you’ve to pay for it. Because Twilight has been this successful I’ve to prove for the next 10 years that I can act as another guy than Edward.

You can easily receive the impression that you are a bit unconfident and that you have to justify for your success. Why is that?
Often, I don’t know what to answer on special questions. Do you have an idea? “How do you feel a the sexiest man alive?” How should I? Like a complete idiot! Maybe I have luck compared to my female colleagues. I think they have to answer much more “sexy-questions” than I have to.

Just ask Brad Pitt…
You’re right. What I mean is that it belongs to women, they can play each character anyway. When an actor is named to be a sex-symbol it’s kind of a bane because nobody take you seriously afterwards.

Actually, you’re in an enviable position: the biggest heartthrob in the world, apart from Justin Bieber.
It’s in comprehensible how I could be named in the same category with him! I respect Justin Bieber but we’re from totally different poles. I really can’t understand how I could ever call the same emotions he does. Probably I belong to the same target audience but I didn’t ever wanted the fame.

But you became famous, what are doing with it now?
I’m sitting in hotel rooms and play “fall down” on my iPhone to delirium. A ridiculous waste of time, you don’t need any part of your brain, you just have to roll the little ball around. I can play it about 16hrs.

Awful!
I also download films but I don’t have more than 20 min. to concentrate on it at the moment. Mostly I fall asleep.

Are you suffering on stress? Burn-out?
No, I’m just tired all the time. I’m sort of stand-by-mode when I don’t work.

You’re most of your time on the way, anyway you’ve adopted a dog from a animal shelter. Isn’t your life kind of unsettled to look after a puppy?
I thought this too, but I realized a set is a the perfect area for a dog. There’re at least 100 persons for his entertainment all the time. When I have free time I’ll team him in my trailer.

Which tricks can he do already?
After one day he was house-trained, with age of 9 week he could come for a stave, he’s a genius. Maybe because he is a mongrel and got all the best from his forefathers.

Maybe you should become a dog-whisperer?
No, I have already one of my three dream jobs.

What are the other two?
Pianist in a hotel lobby at the Riviera or politician.

At least something in the spotlight?
Every actor is egoistic, for sure. On the other hand I’m doing this for myself. You always learn incredible much.

What’s your dream character to play? Maybe a bad guy what Christoph Waltz likes to play?
Finally, I can shoot someone in my next movie. I’d like to do this for ages: Just go into the office in the morning and….boom

Figures compiled for the Sunday Times Rich List illustrate just how lucrative the Harry Potter and Twilight film franchises have been for their stars.

Just as JK Rowling’s wizard adventures have beaten Stephenie Meyer’s vampire saga at the box office, Radcliffe has won the wealth battle against Pattinson.

Radcliffe, 21, is now said to be worth a staggering £48 million thanks to his appearances as Harry Potter on the big screen and his stage work.

Pattinson, 24, who appeared in the Harry Potter movies before going on to play Edward Cullen in the Twilight films, has amassed a £32 million fortune.

The figures put them in fifth and eighth positions respectively on the list of wealthiest Britons under 30.

With Keira Knightley’s £30 million securing tenth place in the table, it seems being a young actor pays better than being a young royal.

Prince William and his brother Harry only make 11th, with their inheritance from their late mother and land ownership worth £28 million.

That did at least put them ahead of Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who tied for 13th with £24 million.
