So you’ve seen the pretty lady. Now it’s time for you to find out about the guy behind the scenes. We can’t promise you’ll like him, but at least you’ll know more about him. This article will tell you all you need to know about Zoë Kravitz’s Robert Pattinson.
Personal Details
Zoe Kravitz was born in London in 1980. She’s the second daughter of the late actor and comedian Burt Lancaster and actress Katharine Ross. Her siblings include a sister named Alice and a brother named Luke. She has two other siblings who are also named after famous movie stars. One is named Ava and the other is named Gene. Both of these baby sisters were born in 1990, so they’re also adults now!
We don’t know much about Zoe’s early life because she rarely talks about herself. However, we do know that she was a very shy child who loved animals. She had an especially close bond with her father, who was often away on movie sets, so she would have to entertain herself. Her favorite pastimes included drawing, writing poetry, and singing. She graduated from the renowned Leighton Park School in London in 1998.
Career Highlight
Zoe’s acting career began in 2004 in the independent film London River. She followed this up with a small role in the 2005 comedy, Glorious. This was a role she was born to play—for all her life has been a movie. She then got her big break when she was cast as Mia Wallace in David O. Russell’s The Great British Beach Holiday in 2006. Since then, she’s appeared in numerous films, including the comedy Knocked Up in 2009 and the romantic comedy The Runaways in 2011. More recently, she’s starred in the action-adventure films Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and The Rover. This year, she’ll star in the upcoming sci-fi film Equilibrium and will play Lizzy Borden in the new miniseries, The First. She also stars in a new Netflix series called Sex Education.
Aside from acting, Zoe has been exploring other avenues in the entertainment industry. Her first foray into fashion came in 2010 when she starred in the music video for Duran Duran’s “Someday We’ll Be Together”. In the video, she wears outfits designed by Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss. She then went on to star in the 2011 music video for Ellie Goulding’s “Anything Could Happen”. She recently starred in the 2016 music video for Years and Years’s “She’s Not My Type”. In this music video, Zoe wears a white dress designed by Rodarte. She also acted in the accompanying movie, All You Need is Love.
Relationships
After nearly a decade of playing single characters, Zoe decided to change her tune in 2015. She began dating actor and musician Robert Pattinson soon after. They met while filming The Rover in 2012 and started dating a few months later. The couple got engaged in October 2016 and were married in an intimate ceremony at London’s Kew Gardens in March 2017. Unfortunately, this happy event was marred by tragedy when Robert’s mother, Liz, passed away just a few weeks before the wedding. Their mother’s death was a terrible shock to both of them and it was especially hard on Robert, who had to walk down the aisle to the sound of pianos playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Smile”. The two remained married and used the experience as motivation to work even harder.
They had their first child, a boy named Rocket, in June 2018. This was a dream come true for Robert, who had always wanted to be a father. He even wrote a song, “I Love You More Than Any Child Should Love a Parent,” that he performed for the parents-to-be. They had previously tried for a baby girl, but had been unsuccessful. It came as a relief to Zoe when she found out she was pregnant. In the song, she refers to their son as her “dream child”, adding that he will “glow like the sun when he comes into his own.”
Body Of Work
It would be remiss of us not to mention Zoe’s incredible body of work. She’s one of the most in-demand and respected actresses of her generation. Since debuting in David O. Russell’s The Great British Beach Holiday in 2006, she has accumulated a remarkable body of work. As previously stated, she’ll appear in Equilibrium this year, followed by roles in the upcoming Woody Allen series, A Rainy Day in New York, and the Ridley Scott-produced The Magnificent Seven. She also has a role in the second season of the Stephen King miniseries, The Mist, which will premiere in December 2018 on Netflix.
Aside from acting, Zoe has also been involved in numerous charitable causes. She has been a patron of the British Red Cross Society for several years and has volunteered with the organization on numerous occasions. In 2010, she launched an initiative with fellow British actress Kate Winslet to screen older films for cancer patients. Since then, the pair have continued their efforts, screening films for patients at the Royal Marsden and the Christie Hospitals in London. In 2015, she co-founded the charity, MovieMagic, which provides free filmmaking courses to children in countries where unemployment is high. And how could we forget her ongoing efforts to fight animal cruelty? She founded the Beautiful Foundation for Animals in 2012 and has been a passionate advocate for animal rights ever since. She is also a founding member of the Just Cats Coalition, an initiative focused on raising awareness of feline nutrition and highlighting the benefits of cat food to cats’ health. Most recently, she participated in a mass bike ride from London to Paris to celebrate International Women’s Day in March 2018. The ride was organized by environmental group, WWF, and supported by numerous other well-known personalities, including Victoria Beckham, Anna Wintour, and Cara Delevingne.
As previously mentioned, her first foray into fashion came in 2010 when she starred in the music video for Duran Duran’s “Someday We’ll Be Together”. Since then, she’s steadily built an empire of her own, designing everything from bridal gowns and nightgowns to swimsuits and lingerie. In addition to designing for herself, she has also worked with a number of respected designers. These include Ralph Lauren, Misha Bloch, and Emanuel Boch. She also collaborated with Victoria Beckham on what was undoubtedly one of the most iconic and recognizable dresses of the 2010s, the Classic Victoria Beckham Dress—a design she would wear on numerous occasions throughout the decade. In 2017, she launched a fragrance named after herself called Zoe. The fragrance is inspired by her favorite summer fruit, the tomato, and it contains a combination of summertime fruit juices, including blackcurrant and orange. This unique fragrance was created for her by perfumers at the A.P.C. Parfums house. We don’t think it’ll be long before she has her own clothing line too!
Style And Fashion Icon
We’re not exactly sure what type of style icon Zoe is, but we know she’s managed to secure a place in the hearts of many. In an interview with Vogue in 2016, she revealed that she draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including classic film stars, writers, musicians, and designers. In the same interview, she credited her style evolution to a variety of influences including her grandmother, whose fashion sense she has always admired. One of her most notable style transformations came when she sported bleached-out hair and pale, creamy skin in the 2008 movie, The House of Mirth. At the time, she was unrecognizable as the beautiful actress who had burst onto the scene a few years earlier. Thanks to her work in The Great Gatsby and her addiction to cosmetic testing, she was introduced to countless fashion fans as Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby’s love interest and the object of his desire. In 2010, she was named the most attractive actress of the past decade in a Vogue poll, while in 2015 she was voted the sexiest woman in a GQ magazine poll. In 2016, she was named British Vogue’s Designer of the Year and in 2019, she was named the most powerful woman in entertainment. We think it’s fair to say that she’s been a hugely influential figure in all areas of fashion, and we’re not just referring to her role as an actress.
