He Is One Of The Most Influential And Most Influenced Hollywood Celebrities
It’s not every day that you see so many iconic faces on one blog post. But here we are, with actors from all spectrums of film and television history, including Sidney Poitier, Barbara Hutton, Humphrey Bogart, and James Dean.
According to TMZ, the stars and creators of “The Twilight Saga” felt that the character of Christian posed a threat to their gender stereotypes, so they recast him as a woman named Astrid. In a film adaptation of the popular “Young Victoria” series of novels by Jennie Livingston, British actor James D’Arcy plays the eponymous young queen, and American actor Eddie Redmayne (“The Dark Knight Rises”) plays her domineering uncle, Albert. In the novels, Redmayne’s character is named Lord Lieven, a name that he also brought to the big screen with him as he portrayed the eponymous character in the 2005 film adaptation of “Jane Eyre”.
“The Twilight Saga” is a series of films based on the best-selling series of novels by American author Stephenie Meyer. The films are set in modern-day Massachusetts, where the main characters attend Harvard University. Several of the novels in the “Twilight Saga” have been turned into films, with author Meyer penning the script for each one.
He Is Often Portrayed As A Rebel
Many fans have described Robert Pattinson as a “rebel” or a “free spirit”, a label that the popular actor seems to embrace. Despite his fame, the 33-year-old actor has been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout his career, being committed to a vegan diet and frequent exercise routines. He is often photographed with his arms crossed, his brow furrowed, or his hair pulled back in a casual yet rebellious way.
In one of his earliest and most famous roles, Robert Pattinson played Quentin Tarantulinu, the eldest son of film producer Jack Wladimir Tarantulinu in the 2000 black comedy film “Coyote Ugly”. The movie is a light-hearted send-up of the “B” movie craze of the late 20th century, and a celebration of cheesy Hollywood movies. The role was a small one, but it gave Pattinson the opportunity to show off his comedic skills, and he played it for laughs.
The handsome actor has also been touted as one of Hollywood’s It-boys, often being listed among the industry’s most eligible bachelors. In February 2011, he was named one of the most powerful celebrities in Hollywood by “Forbes” magazine. The accolade was a culmination of many years of speculation about Pattinson’s personal life and career, with fans having to settle for crumbs from the table of sugar cane occasionally served at movie premieres and award ceremonies. But now that he’s married to the woman of his dreams, he’s decided to share more details about his private life than ever before.
In a very private yet historic ceremony on November 28, 2011, Robert Pattinson wed his boyfriend of two years, film producer and director Justin Malick. The couple chose to keep the details of their wedding under wraps, with only a handful of close friends and family members attending the ceremony at London’s beautiful Somerset House. After the newlywed’s took a stroll down the aisle, they were joined by their guests for a sumptuous three-course meal, before they headed off to Paris for a romantic weekend.
He’s The Successor To An Iconic Throne
At the end of 2011, “Forbes” magazine placed Robert Pattinson at #4 on their annual “Celebrity Net Worth” list, making him the successor to the throne of the late King George VI, who ruled from 1935 to 1952. The magazine’s editor-in-chief Scott DeVeaux told media that “The King George VI Estate is one of the most recognizable and prestigious brands in the world, and its crown prince George is the ultimate role model for a modern man.”
The British actor took the throne at a time of great uncertainty for Great Britain, leaving his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, before he turned 21. George VI’s reign was cut short when he was found to have contracted polio as a child and had to be coddled and prevented from leaving his palace. He was initially succeeded by his uncle, King George, then by his cousin, King Elizabeth II, making Pattinson the first commoner to sit on the throne in over 100 years.
At the age of 33, having recently married his boyfriend of two years, King George VI’s throne seems to be Pattinson’s for the taking. The couple chose to keep the details of their wedding under wraps, but it’s likely that their union was a grand and glorious affair, capped off with fairy tale fireworks and a fair isle white wedding dress for the bride.
