A translation of this article!
Let’s say that today you were beginning eight weeks of vacations, what would you do?
Rob: I want to travel! I’m gonna try to look for jobs in different countries. I think I will be working in Paris for three months at the beginning of the next year.
For what project?
Rob: I don’t know if I can say it… fuck it. It’s an adaption of Bel-Ami by Guy de Maupassant. Now that I said it to you, I can telling it to everyone. Also I’m fed up of what people say to me “you only do the Twilight movies, you aren’t anything more than a shooting star”. I refuse! (Laughs).
The last thing that has come to me is that someone in the set has said that, literally, you stink, that you smell badly.
Rob: (laughs) Yes I read it too! The funny thing is that these always come from “anonymous sources”. I must smell really bad because the set is 25 kilometres away from my hotel and I haven’t even gone out of the room.
You also said that don’t want to have a girlfriend in such a stuffy environment. Have you found someone who has made you change the idea?
Rob: Oh, no (laughs). I remember, when I was doing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where I only had a small part, the whole world was commenting on my girlfriend of then. It’s very sressful for them. You have to become very reserved in the matter.
You lived through an authentic pursuit on the media with Camilla Belle.
Rob: Yes, but i’s different with her, she is my friend. It was really fun. The thing is: if she isn’t your girlfriend, it doesn’t matter; but if it is, it turns into a nightmare, the whole world wants to know what are you doing.
You said that immediately after the success of Twilight it turns out to be very difficult for you to have a normal life. What do you do with your free time?
Rob: in some way the work has turned into the best refuge. Though it sounds ridiculous, I read scripts. I feel a little frustrated for not having gone to the university, so I treat to educate myself. I have brought approximately 100 books with me to Vancouver, they are all spread around the hotel room.
