robertpattinson movies interviews Virgin Media
Robert Pattinson is soon to hit it big when he appears in the new Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire movie.
We caught up for a chat about his new role, "epic-ness" and a band called Bad Girls...
VM: So, with the release of the new film coming up your life must be pretty mad at the moment?
Robert Pattinson: Since I started acting it's kind of been a bit mad. I never really did anything before and two years ago I started acting and I've kind of been in work ever since. Then Harry Potter came along and it's been a huge step and a massive event in my life.
VM: Has it been that different from the other roles you've had?
Robert Pattinson: Yeah, things like special effects, which are probably one of the strangest things to go into if you have never done acting before. I did a lot of special effects in my last films so it kind of helped, but on a smaller scale. The scale of Harry Potter is huge, people have been working on it for four or five years. There are 2000 people working on the set - not many films can afford that kind of "epic-ness". I did a tiny amount of work on Vanity Fair which doesn't quite match the standard of Harry Potter... oops... don't put that, sorry, what was the question?!
VM: Did you feel accepted onto the set of an already established cast?
Robert Pattinson: I didn't know how I would be interpreted so I went into Harry Potter determined to seem like a real actor and kind of didn't speak to anyone for a while. I didn't notice the transition to being accepted, but they are all really nice people. It seems like it should have been daunting but it wasn't. We did a bonding week where we made fools of ourselves doing lots of improvising. I paired up with Rupert a lot.
