Robert Pattinson with Magnus Sundholm | I Never Thought Of Myself As Famous
MS: What’s fame like for you now?
Rob: I live a very kind of insular life in a lot of ways so the fame aspect doesn’t really affect me that much. I’ve always just found that the main thing is to NOT be recognized. That’s really the only thing that I can think of. I don’t really use fame for anything other than to get jobs. And then even in that world, it doesn’t necessarily help you get a job. Because in some ways it’s a lot of baggage. My main thing was that if you have a recognizable face then people won’t believe you in certain characters. So you have to figure out how to circumvent the audience’s preconceived ideas of you, before you even start doing a character. I’ve never even really thought myself famous to be honest.
MS: Helen Mirren Can once said that you think you don’t need the attention, but once it’s gone you sort of miss it, and it becomes a little bit addictive. Can you relate to that?
Rob: Luckily the way I became a public person, it always felt like I became an actor by accident, and then became famous sort of by accident. And also because of Twilight, the absolute peak of being recognized when you’d walk down the street and everyone would call you your character name. So luckily it kind of built this psychological defense where I was kind of like “It’s not about me anyway” so I just disassociate from it. So I was saying it’s just about a character, so I basically stay exactly the same as I was before, I hope.

Q&A
Q: The film’s directed by the Safdie brothers. I heard you spotted a picture from one of their other films online and basically cold-called them, then they wrote this film for you. Is that true?
‘It’s weird, Josh [Safdie] talked about this earlier: “I looked at the photo you were talking about and it was just a photo of an actress’s face!” It was from their film “Heaven Knows What” and I just had this feeling about it, so I sent them a couple of emails saying I was down to do anything.’
‘Good Time’ is set in a very specific New York world. Did you dive deep into that?
‘I spent a whole day in character. I’d never done anything like that before. Benny [Safdie, who plays his brother] and I spent a day in Yonkers, hanging out in Dunkin’ Donuts and meeting people he knew. We went to a couple of prisons too.’
Were there any ‘Twilight’ fans among the inmates?
‘There was one. We’d been there for five or six hours and no one had any idea who I was, but as we were leaving via this elevator full of inmates,
I could feel this guy staring at me. I went, “What?” and he just looks at me and goes, [puts on a broad Queens accent] “Fuckin’ ‘Twilight’!” [laughs]. Suddenly everyone in this elevator is staring at me. I’m literally going: “I don’t know what he’s talking about.” It was terrifying.’
There must have been some weird on-set moments, too. There’s a scene where a dye pack explodes in your car, for instance.
‘I had really bad bronchitis – it was freezing in New York at the time – and I basically breathed in an enormous amount of red paint. What I was spitting out for about three weeks afterwards was just insane.’
The feel of the film reminds me of those ’70s classics like ‘The French Connection’ – filming out on the city streets but not necessarily with all the relevant paperwork…
‘We filmed a robbery scene but we didn’t have permission to shoot outside the bank, only inside. We had masks on and there were cops everywhere. It looked like we were actually robbing a bank. I sent Josh this video a few days ago of a guy who’d been filming a scene like the one in “Good Time” and the police had shot at him.’
What made you want to get into acting in the first place?
‘I joined this little amateur theatre company in Barnes, I think specifically because I fancied this girl. I’d had no interest in acting until then but one audition broke the seal. It was so scary: I hadn’t sung, danced or acted in front of anyone, and suddenly I was doing all three in this audition for “Guys and Dolls”. I wanted the Frank Sinatra part. I think I got cast as a Cuban dancer [laughs].’
Was that a formative experience?
‘A lot of people there took it extraordinarily seriously and I wasn’t really accepted into that group, so that was massively formative. [Puts on petulant voice] “I’m a fucking outsider!” I went to America before quite a few of my peers for the same reason: I didn’t feel like I fitted in with the English theatre crowd. Also, I got fired from a play and got pissed off with everybody.’
Your career kicked off with two huge franchises, ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’, but you haven’t gone back down the blockbuster route. If there was a part in, say, ‘Star Wars’, would you take it?
‘Sure, yes. I love those movies and everyone wants those parts. I feel like it’s quite a helpful thing for a career to be consistent. If you go: I’m going to do something really crazy, but then do something really conservative, I don’t think it really works. It’s taken a long time but now people are going, “Oh, you do quite oddball things.”’
Has your relationship with ‘Twilight’ changed
over the years?
‘I mean, kind of. I feel like I’ve always had the
same answer. It was fun and it’s not like I signed up on an eight-picture deal, I knew it was finite.
I had to be 17, there were only four books and there weren’t going to be any more. The only time it felt negative was when people were waiting outside my house a few years ago.’

Do you still get ‘R-Patz’ shouted at you?
‘That’s the one thing: why some people end up with a moniker and some don’t. It’s really unfair that I ended up with a moniker [laughs].’
‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ is on at the moment in London. Have you seen it?
‘I haven’t yet, but I really want to. It is strange for me because that feels like a lifetime ago.’
Your old character plays a big part in it.
Do you feel at all possessive of Cedric Diggory?
‘Not really. Even with “Twilight”, I’d be curious if someone else played it. It was so nice to be a part of it. That, more than anything, changed my life. It’s the reason I didn’t go to university.’
‘Harry Potter’ stopped you from going to uni?
‘It went so far over schedule, I couldn’t go. It was supposed to be four months, but it ended up being ten or 11. I’d turn up to set every day but not work for weeks at a time [because he wasn’t needed for filming]. I was 17 and I was the only person who wasn’t in school. I’d just hang about.’
Does London still feel like home to you?
‘I split my time between here and LA, but London is still my favourite city. I don’t think I could stay in the same place for more than six months, though. I don’t have any nesting instinct.’
Can you walk around town easily?
‘I’m always walking around everywhere – although I walk like a maniac. I cycle everywhere in London, which I really miss when I’m in LA.’
What are your cultural haunts?
‘I’m completely out of touch, it’s terrible. I used to get so panicky in public areas, and I’m only just starting to get over it. I went to Tate Modern for the first time three months ago – the Giacometti exhibition, which was incredible.
Do you find it hard to take holidays?
‘That’s the other weird thing about acting: you’re constantly worried about being unemployed.’
Hollywood knows how to throw a party.
Do you enjoy that side of the job?
‘It’s fun. Performers get nervous about people seeing their true selves, so they either hide away or perform at all times. It’s fascinating to go to a party with people who’ve all decided to be “on”. The Met Ball… oh my God! Everything is dialled up to 15.’
Doesn’t part of you fancy sitting in the corner
and having a quiet pint?
‘You just have to commit to it. That one’s tough, though.’
‘Good Time’ has got some Oscar buzz, so there may be a few more big bashes ahead…
‘Even when we were doing this movie, I had no idea what was going to happen with it – it was so tiny. It’s been one of the craziest journeys.’
