There is no denying that the last few years have been pretty eventful for Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor, Robert Pattinson. After taking a break from the spotlight to focus on his acting career, the Twilight star has returned as a more mature and respected individual. But while he may have found love with actress Kristen Stewart, those close to him say there is still someone out there who has piqued his interest. Could it be Zoe Saldana?
The 32-year-old actress has long been considered one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women. She earned that title after appearing in the blockbusters Avatar and Finding Nemo, and recently starred in the family adventure film Sully. Although she has yet to publicly confirm her relationship with Robert, the pair were photographed together at a New York City premiere in May.
And while they may have never discussed marriage, their representatives have denied that their romantic connection is anything but platonic. Perhaps that’s because while most of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors have settled down with their respective partners, Robert Pattinson seems to have found his perfect match in Zoe Saldana. But what does her management team have to say about this? Well, as it turns out, they have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. Here’s what they had to say.
The Whole Truth About Their Relationship
During the promotion of Sully, which stars Robert Pattinson and Zoe Saldana, director David Guillon addressed rumors that the pair were romantically involved. “I don’t know what to say about that,” he said. “They’re both really talented actresses. When you look at them on screen, you don’t necessarily see that they’re in a relationship, but they are. They get on set and they act like a couple, so it’s not like it’s a secret. I think people just want to believe what they want to believe.”
Asked whether he thought the rumors helped or hindered his film, Guillon replied, “I don’t know. You can’t control what people say.”
Despite his best efforts to play it cool about their alleged romance, Guillon may not be able to keep the lid on the situation for long. As TMZ points out, celebrity gossip website TMZ reported last month that a source said that Zoe Saldana and Robert Pattinson are dating. The website also alleged that Saldana became Pattinson’s girlfriend last summer but their reps have always denied these claims.
According to our source, their mutual interest in acting led to them spending a lot of time together. After shooting had wrapped on the Avatar sequels, Pattinson began to look for ways to spend time with his girlfriend. He reportedly took her to dinner parties, concerts, and even a ballgame. During one of these outings, a friend of theirs saw the couple holding hands and feeling very cozy. Since then, they’ve been inseparable.
Sensitive Details About Robert Pattinson’s Life
While we await the release of Sully, the most up-to-date details about Robert’s personal life have once again made headlines. On May 17, a UK tabloid published an article stating that Robert had admitted to cheating on KStew with Zoe Saldana. According to a leaked audio recording of an apparent phone call between Rob and one of his friends, the 32-year-old actor is still hung up on his ex-fianceé. As he so often does, the voice on the other end of the line comforts Rob by assuring him that things will be OK. We don’t know if Zoe was aware that her cheating ways were being discussed on tape, but it seems that she was. At one point in the conversation, Rob even acknowledges that he has “messed up a little bit,” causing his friend to reassure him that while it was wrong to cheat on his first wife with Rosemary, it was also wrong to cheat on Kristen. “She’s not the prize. She’s not the one you’re after,” the friend tells Robb. “You deserve better.”
It’s clear that Rob has been struggling with issues relating to his multiple relationships for some time. Perhaps it’s his intense work schedule, which includes filming Twilight movies and promoting his latest film as well as his acting career. Whatever the reason, this intense focus on his work has prevented him from fully committing to any of his relationships. It’s the reason, his friends say, that he has never been able to settle down with any of the women he dates. In the friend’s words, Robb is merely “playing the field.”
Zoe Saldana: A Career Retrospect
While Robert Pattinson has had a varied career in film, it’s safe to say that he is best known for playing the role of Peter Brandt, the bespectacled vampire in the Twilight movies. To date, he has played opposite Kristen Stewart in four Twilight movies and one TV film. In addition to appearing in the Twilight saga, he has also dabbled in music, having released two albums: an acoustic album titled Four and a Half, and an album titled Why Stay?
The career of Zoe Saldana is almost as illustrious as that of her beau. After appearing in the comedy-drama House of Gucci, in which she played an Italian fashion designer who teams up with Matt Damon to expose a Swiss banking scandal, Zoe landed the role of Naiad in the 2009 fantasy Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. While on the surface a cameo may seem minor, as one of the film’s leading ladies, Zoe’s role was far from minimal. In fact, she was so happy with her part that she decided to pursue acting full-time. She followed that up by portraying the superheroine Storm in Marvel’s The Avengers and its sequel, The Avengers: Age of Ultron. She also lent her voice to an animated feature, Winnie the Pooh, which was based on one of A.A. Milne’s famous stories. Most recently, she starred in the Disney fantasy musical Maleficent alongside Elle Fanning and Michelle Phearson. As one might imagine, Zoe’s busy schedule has kept her away from the spotlight for the past few years, although she has continued to appear in films including Paddington and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, both of which are due for release in the next few months.
A Different Type Of Relationship
While the concept of coupling up with someone you’ve known for most of your life may not seem all that exciting to some, for others it is. For those who grew up with celebrity, it’s possible that the idea of being with someone who is both famous and wealthy is incredibly satisfying. According to gossip website TMZ, which first broke the story about Robert and Zoe, the two have chosen to pursue a “marriage of convenience” in a bid to maintain their celebrity. As we’ve learned from past experience, however, things rarely stay the same for long. Relationships between those who are famous for their wealth and those who are famous for their presence in the spotlight are always going to be more complex than what seems to be the case on the surface. The question is, how complex?
