Robert Pattinson: 'Success Hasn't Changed Me'
By TheImproper.com
Robert Pattinson, the 22-year-old star of the hit vampire romance Twilight, is riding an incredible wave of popularity, but success apparently hasn't changed him much. And that's precisely why his legions of young fans adore him.
"I haven't changed at all," says Pattinson. "I live the same exact life as before; I have the same friends and the same preferences...I would still rather eat fast food than tofu; I’m a lousy driver, and I always have problems with my junky 1989 BMW."
Yeah, but isn't Rob making more money now since playing the alluring Edward Cullen? "Sad to say, but I [still] don't make that much," he says. "And to tell you the truth, I'd like more," he laughs.
Given Twilight's stunning box-office success, it wouldn't surprise anyone if Rob's paychecks do get a lot bigger. To date, Twi—an indie flick made for just $37 million—has grossed a staggering $324 million worldwide since its Nov. 21 U.S. release.
Meanwhile, Rob—who has repeatedly stated that he is unattached—has been in his hometown of London since Dec. 22, relaxing and playing small music gigs on the local club scene. In March, Pattinson will begin shooting New Moon (2009), the sequel to Twilight. New Moon will be filmed back-to-back with Eclipse (2010), the third installment in the best-selling Twi book series.
His hectic work schedule for the next two years may make having a love life difficult. When asked why he's still unattached, Pattinson suggests his constant traveling makes it hard to nurture or maintain a relationship.
"The last two years I was abroad the whole time," says Rob. "There was no city I stayed in longer than a couple of weeks. Just when I arrive, I have to leave. That's too little time to build a relationship."
Fortunately, Pattinson, who has described himself as a loner, doesn't mind spending time alone. "Sometimes I prefer being alone," he says. "I just don't like spending time with other people all the time. Of course, I go out with friends sometimes, but I also enjoy the perfect stillness, for example, of writing. But in the past few years, I've had no time to do that at all."
With his star on the rise, Rob's free time is sure to get even scarcer, but fortunately, fans will get to enjoy seeing him at the movies. Pattinson can be seen next in Little Ashes, due out March 27, while New Moon shines in November 2009.
