Robert Pattinson talks about “flimsy floozies†& getting into an elephant’s mouth
Water for Elephants comes out next month, and Robert Pattinson’s promotional tour is beginning to pick up speed. On Friday, he appeared on both the Tonight Show, and a live MTV interview. For me, the saving grace of Sparkles is that he’s actually a decent-to-wonderful interview. I might take issue with his hair (ugh), his acting (not good), and the drama that surrounds Sparkles (overblown), but when I actually see him interviewed or read one of his Q&As, he’s very sweet and intelligent. Here are some of the highlights from his MTV interview:
Rob Pattinson doesn’t require much of his costars. During a live interview with MTV News Friday, the 24-year-old Brit â€" who plays Reese Witherspoon’s love interest in this April’s Water for Elephants â€" joked that he chooses his costars based mostly on appearance.
“I like hot girls,†he laughed. “I like being in movies with lots of hot girls.â€
Not that Pattinson â€" who’s also shared screen-time with real-life love Kristen Stewart, as well as actresses Emile de Ravin and Uma Thurman â€" will settle for a leading lady who lacks intelligence.
“They’re all very strong, actually,†he raved of his former on-screen flames. “I always end up being in movies with very experienced and passionate people. They’re never just flimsy floozies.â€
Despite the actress’ combinations of beauty and brains, Pattinson still feels a tad uncomfortable while shooting love scenes.
“The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold,†Pattinson explained of his steamy encounter with Witherspoon, 34, in Water for Elephants. “My nose was running all over the place…and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.â€
As for his much-anticipated sex scene with Stewart, 20, in this November’s Breaking Dawn?
“It’s pretty funny,†he said.
When asked whether he was intimidated by Witherspoon, given her award-winning career, Pattinson admitted that he was â€" but only for a few minutes.
“Anyone who’s really famous and really great, it’s always going to be slightly intimidating,†he said. “But she has such a nice energy about her, and [the intimidation] is gone within the first couple of seconds.â€

Okay, he made me laugh when he described the Breaking Dawn sex scene as “pretty funny.†Isn’t the sex scene supposed to be, like, incredibly hot and steamy and kind of S&M? And here’s Sparkles calling it “pretty funny.†That was the sound of millions of Twihards getting blue balls (or whatever the blue ball equivalent is for tween girls).
And here’s video of his Tonight Show interview. I like how nice he is about traveling through America, and how he sounds like his idea of a fun time is doing karaoke in an empty bar in Texas. He’s lovely:
And by the way, the Twihards have totally screen-capped the photo of Sparkles in the elephant’s mouth:
Amazing!!!

Oh, I just love it. Too cute. The fact that he called his love scene with KStew “pretty funny†makes me love him that much more.

They seem really desperate for this movie to be successful. Guess Reese can’t have another flop of a movie attached to her name. I think it’s funny how they need to pull the twihards twines out to save a movie in which an older lady is his love interest.

I’ve tried to see it.. but I don’t find him the least bit attractive. He has cute personality.. but I just don’t get a sexy vibe..
Maybe I’m getting old..

He is lovely and charming and humble. His recent interviews have been great. I think his acting is improving and I look forward to Water for Elephants.

don’t care about his acting, but love his charm and interviews.
i just like him.
can he be an actor who never acts, but does interviews?
maybe…i don’t know-they could be a team? stewart can act the movie out, and he could go on promotion tour instead of her. 
to be honest, i kinda hope the film won’t be a huge success, mainly bc i’m irked with the fact that he can’t act even if his life depended on it-yet, he gets the praise and oooohhhh and aaaaaaaaahhs, and stewart is devil incarnate. hypocrisy of women fans.
(yeah, yeah i know: she is a butchy lesbian who never smiles and always complains and whatnot……the fact that he complaines as much and has the same fashion sense and even more stupid arguments than her, well he’s a man, so he can-in twihard world)

my friend is a student at texas tech and she has TONS of pictures of him and his friends there in the bar as well as pictures with her and him. She said majority of the girls there (of course) were going crazy and followed him for a while out of town

Do you remember Xtina’s Hurt video? Reese looks like her twin sister. And patison looks retarded. He is the one I don’t get it. Why the hell is he so famous?

Am I the only one who finds him repulsive? Seriously, I am so turned off by hm it isn’t even funny. I don’t know why, maybe it’s his legions of 13 year old fan girls who state that he is ‘the most handsomest, and hottest and talented guy evar!!!’.
He can’t act, and doesn’t have much staying power. After Twilight, he’ll be gone.
And also, WFE looks very cliche. It looks like a rip of of both Titanic and Moulin Rouge.

Eh, I think he is a nice, sweet guy, but I don’t find him all that appealing. He’s not a very good actor, and he doesn’t impress me so far in the WFE previews and clips that I’ve seen. He doesn’t seem all that intelligent in interviews, but maybe that’s just me. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, I just don’t think he’s much to write home about. He’s not even that good looking, IMO. But yeah, I bet that love scene will be funny. He and Kristen have zero sexual chemistry, and I get major gay vibes off of her, so that’ll be interesting.
