While it’s been awhile since we’ve seen a new Twilight movie, the saga of the four books and their subsequent film adaptation has permanently altered our perception of vampires and werewolves. It’s time for the young and the trendy to prove that we haven’t simply learned how to interact with creatures of the night, but that we can do so in a sophisticated manner.
In order to illustrate the cultural differences between Robert Pattinson (BFF with Kristen Stewart) and Justin Bieber (cuteness alert!), we will compare the leading men of the generation. Not only will this article highlight their physical differences, but it will delve into the intricacies of their personalities. So, let’s get started.
Early Life And Family
Where did Robert Pattinson grow up? Was he born in a barn? Did his parents drop him on his head as an infant and he wasn’t aware of his celebrity until later in life? Was he actually a foundling?
These are all legitimate questions, because the only facts we have about the English actor are that he was born in London, grew up in a flat above a shop, and began acting at the age of four. Aside from that, we know nothing about his life before film.
On the other hand, Justin Bieber was born in Toronto, Canada and grew up in the suburbs of the city. His father is a jazz singer and his mother is a dermatologist. From an early age, he was surrounded by music and performers, which undoubtedly contributed to his exceptional talent. He began drumming in elementary school and playing baseball at the age of six. By the time he was eight, he was already performing in school plays, and by the time he was 12, he had his own band.
While we don’t know a lot about Robert Pattinson’s life, we do know a lot about Justin Bieber’s life. If you add up all of the interviews, blogs, and news articles that have been written about the singer, you’ll discover that he’s opened up about almost every aspect of his life. This is in stark contrast to the rarely-seen-for-the-saga-pur-pose Robert Pattinson. There are so many stories about Justin Bieber, and they’re all so interesting.
Weight
Robert Pattinson is currently the heaviest actor in Hollywood, weighing in at a whopping 246 pounds, which is more than 31st-overall on the Hollywood scale. He’s carried this extra weight his whole life and it’s certainly paid off. Aside from boosting his acting talent, the extra weight has also enabled him to play some of the most complex and characterful roles. He’s a bit of a chameleon, capable of inhabiting a variety of personas.
Justin Bieber, on the other hand, is a pretty slim young man, weighing only 185 pounds, which makes him one of the lighter leading men in Hollywood. In fact, he’s the lightest actor in Twilight and the second-lightest in the entire series. This may be because he’s so interested in staying fit and maintaining his health. In an interview with Men’s Health, he said, “I want to be the healthiest man in the world. I want to be the strongest man in the world. Physically and mentally.” This undoubtedly helps explain why he chooses to eat vegetables and go on runs instead of burgers and fries.
Gym Life
Who uses the gym more? Robert Pattinson or Justin Bieber? The plain fact is that the former goes to the gym five days a week and works out for two hours each session, whereas the latter only occasionally goes to the gym to work out and then never stays for longer than an hour. He mostly focuses on his diet and avoids taking part in any physical activities that he considers unhealthy. The result is that he looks better than ever and, more importantly, stays in shape all year long.
The main thing is that Hollywood is a very sedentary industry, particularly when compared to other industries. Actors spend most of their days off screen sitting in chairs or in their cars driving from location to location. It’s no wonder that many of them get terribly portly. It’s not like this industry needs a population of Twighlters.
Culture
Culture is an important aspect of any personality analysis. What kind of music does he listen to? What are his favorite films and books? These are all important aspects of a person’s personality and they can help us determine how they will react to certain situations, or if they will even recognize or appreciate certain things. If you compare the two, you’ll see that there is an immense difference. For example, Robert Pattinson is a great fan of the Italian operas, which undoubtedly stems from his Italian grandparents, and he also loves documentaries. These are both themes that frequently come up in his work, particularly in the period-piece The Eclipse, in which he plays a dashing Englishman who introduces the country to classic Italian operas.
In contrast, Justin Bieber is a fan of the boy band One Direction and Skrillex. He also named his dog after Skrillex. It’s evident that rap music has had a massive impact on this young man’s life. Interestingly, he’s also a big fan of The Weeknd, the Canadian R&B singer and songwriter. It seems like the two have something in common, aside from their similar looks and pop-culture leanings. Maybe they watched the same documentary on the evolution of music and wanted to be the men to bring this form back to life.
There are many other differences between these two talented actors. Aside from physical appearance, Robert Pattinson is a great listener, while Justin Bieber is more of a talker. He also has a lot more experience in the industry, having been working for a decade, while the younger actor is still trying to find his feet. But one of the most important things to take away from this article is the fact that there is a difference between the two and we shouldn’t really compare them. They are completely different people and will, most likely, end up living parallel lives, doing their own thing while also making a lasting impression on the world.
