You’ve probably heard by now that Robert Pattinson is quite the hot topic. After all, the guy was seen getting cozy with his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Lawrence, at the 2016 Golden Globes. While the world’s media freaked out and wrote hundreds of articles speculating about their rumored engagement, Rob remained mostly quiet. But that didn’t last long. After the couple made peace with the press a few weeks later, Rob began posting more often to his Instagram account. And when he does post, it’s always about his girlfriend. In fact, she even became his subject matter for the next movie he’s slated to appear in.
Is Rob a moody guy? Is he secretly in love with Jennifer Lawrence? The truth is that we may never know for sure what’s going on in the mind of the British actor. Even those closest to him are unsure of his true feelings. So instead of wasting our time wondering if he’s secretly in love with Jennifer Lawrence, let’s focus on the fact that he is a moody guy.
Here are some interesting tidbits about him that you may not know:
He’s a Private Person
While discussing his upcoming film, Mulberry, with the press in May, Rob said the following:
“I’m a really private person and I don’t really like talking about my movie or anything, so I think it’s probably best if we don’t talk about Mulberry too much.”
This isn’t the first time he’s shut down a question about his private life. In fact, he did the same thing at the London premiere of The Batsuit in January. But considering he also didn’t want to discuss the casting rumors that have surrounded him since the start of his acting career, it seems as if he’s finally decided to be more open about things.
He’s Got a Dark Side
Besides being private, Rob is also said to have a dark side. One of his former managers, Alexandre Della Rocco, shared with Entertainment Tonight that, “He can be really moody and, at times, really dark. But, usually, he’s just joking around.” And it’s clear that he’s not taking his new relationship with Jennifer Lawrence seriously enough to lighten up. During a Q&A with fans in London, he said the following:
“I just really want to get on with my life and not think about myself too much. And I know that’s really selfish and, at times, really annoying. But I just want to be happy and live my life how I want to live it.”
So even though he’s not being dishonest, it’s still clear that he doesn’t want to be seen as a heartthrob for the sake of being one. And it’s also obvious that he’s aware of how the paparazzi will react to his every move.
He Wants to Play It Cool
It’s been stated that Rob wants to play it cool with his romantic partners. When he first started dating Katie Holmes, he apparently tried to be less obvious about his feelings. After all, he didn’t want her to think he was only with her because she was famous. So, for the first year of their relationship, he didn’t mention her to his friends. And when they did end up talking about her, he would only speak about her in a negative light.
More recently, he allegedly didn’t want to rush into a relationship with his Twilight co-star, Kristen Stewart. When she first came on the scene, he was Rob‘s manager, Eric Bentley, and he had to negotiate the terms of their first meeting. He reportedly told Stewart that he would represent her if she wanted to meet with Rob but, otherwise, she should go about her day and he would do the same. If only Kristen had known what was going on behind the scenes, she might have done things a little differently. But, as we know, timing is everything and, apparently, she didn’t have long to wait before Rob made his move.
He Prefers His Privacy
We all want to be happy, but sometimes it’s hard to find the person you want to spend your life with when you’re surrounded by people who want to be your best friend. It’s not that Rob doesn’t want to be seen with his friends; he just wants his privacy. During a Q&A with fans in London, he said the following:
“I would rather not have people thinking about me all the time and I would rather just focus on whatever I’m doing. So I don’t want to have my photograph taken or have my movie discussed or anything. So sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of privacy.”
In today’s world, where everyone is always looking for the next big thing, it’s easy to feel as if you’re never going to find that person you’re looking for. But maybe, if you focus on something other than your temporary crush, you’ll find your perfect match.
