Yay! We finally got some of these photos of Robert Pattinson in Sydney, Australia. These are from the red carpet “premiere” of Breaking Dawn Part II yesterday in Sydney. Sparkles wore a decent suit and an absolutely bizarre shirt. His style is cracking me up… he’s so tall, and he has those lovely shoulders, so he could really bring it, style-wise. But he looks like he’s wearing that shirt as part of some kind of dare.
Anyway, it’s being widely reported that while doing press in Australia, Rob refused to answer questions about Kristen. From the assorted quotes I’ve seen, I think Rob asked reporters to avoid direct questions about his relationship with Kristen, but he seemed okay with mentioning her as he discussed BDII. Here are some highlights from his press:
He wept like a baby at ‘Marley &Me’. “I was so surprised that I was devastated. It was awful. I never want to see it again. I can’t take it. I hate people but I love dogs.”
Going back and watching the first Twilight, and describing the scene when his character Edward, first sees Bella, played by Kristen Stewart: “Whenever I see it I’m making the most ridiculous facial expression. I was so serious when I was doing it. Looking at it now I’m like, ‘Oh my God, you were on another planet!’ It looks like she’s farting when Edward walks past. Terrible.”
Rob doesn’t like the “Team Edward” aspect of it: “That’s the one thing I’ve been annoyed about by the whole thing. The kind of ‘team’ aspect of it. It’s strange. I think that’s what has created a very strange atmosphere around how the movies are promoted and stuff. It’s making it like a sport or something. People can’t really watch the films any more because they’re thinking about all this other silliness.”
Bitching about the press: “It’s not. I mean, yeah, it’s hard because people have kind of made this media culture…people have kind of made this assumption that anything is fair game, but it’s really kind of not. It’s just impossible to fight against. Half the time, what people are doing is entirely illegal, and you just can’t do anything about it. It’s a weird sort of thing.”
[From Hollywood Life & Entertainmentwise]
Obviously, my favorite part is when Rob jokes about his performance in the first Twilight, which yes, is not good. It’s not good for any of the actors, and Billy Burke should be ashamed! But I love a good fart joke, especially if it’s aimed at Kristen Stewart. I might have to go back and watch Twilight again to see if I can make out all of the “farty” expressions. Maybe that’s why Kristen does so much lip-biting? She’s gassy. And Rob is gassy. And she bites her lip whenever the stank gets to be too much.

I’m sorry every single picture in this post is hilarious. He looks like a young man trying to take a serious school photo with his friends egging him in the background.
LMAO…oh what happened here Rob…some men never learn how to dress themselves.
Overall I like his interview, he is right that there’s a culture of everything on the table all the time…but with the psycho movie he signed up for it was bound to happen. What a horrible piece of literature.
Same here. He knew it. He knew how unbelievably bad it was. You can’t make a good film out of a crappy scenario out of a god forsaken awful so-called book. 4 times. Al-most o-ver.
But yes, you are a bad actor, Mr Pattinson, you might even want to do something about that.
Did you see Cosmopolis? He was actually quite good in that. It’s a really weird movie, but he pulled it off. If he continues to get better with each movie, he just might do alright.
His hair here is killing me.
Nevertheless, he just comes across as such a likeable guy to me-always seems so self-deprecating, modest and genuine.
I really do hope he has a long career ahead of him-I’m rooting for him!
Same here Kitten. He seems earnest.
The hair is not good, but it’s probably because he has to grow it out for the next movie role. Hence the hats all the time. I wish he would use a hair stylist for these appearances though.
Agree, I hope he has a long and prosperous career.
I kinda love his interviews–and him!
he is so greasy looking.
that might be the ugliest shirt on earth
Not “might be”….
I kinda like it, because it reminds me of the hideous shirts that men wore during the 70s. The kind of bad that it makes it good somehow, you know?
Agree, the shirt is frightful. Also, he should never ever again wear any clothing that horrible olive green color. Olive green, brown and yellow leach all the color from his complexion and make him look tired and sallow. That suit should be burned. He may keep the shoes. That is all.
his shirt seems very “Revenge of the Nerd-y” I’m sorry, it might be in fashion (I dunno) but it’s a very ugly shirt..
And all of these photos look like he either just farted or is smelling a fresh one..
What was this half-a$$ bitching about the press? He is on the radar exactly because…” people have kind of made this media culture”
He may hate people and I may hate his shirt.Donate it to a dog shelter Rob.
I’m so over these hipster comments of his and Kristen. Oh the media! Omg I hate it! Please be grateful you’re employed and became incredibly rich. And don’t bitch about Twilight. It gave you everything and Ryan Gosling you are not.
What does he want? Twilight is the only role he could get after a year in LA. He should be thankful.
This^^^. Weary of both. Whether its the hipster, lip-biting, angsty-artist, fauxmance — whatever — its all crap. Nothing against him. Seems like a nice chap. Rather polite actually. But when he’s connected to Kristen, he’s less appealing. On his own he’s palatable.
There are so many one-dimensional actors what’s one more or less. No reason he shouldn’t have work. But a great actor he ain’t. And the more the shills try to force him into that slipper, the worse he looks.
except he didn’t actually bitch about Twilight – he bitched about his performance in it. At least he owned that it wasn’t his best acting *shrugs*
And he was asked about his thoughts on the media – what was he supposed to do, refuse to answer? He’s actually been very laid back about the craziness. He’s very private so of course he doesn’t like it. But I think he’s learned to live with it and not bitch and moan about it all the time – unless he’s asked.
I have nothing against Robert Pattinson. I like the interview but thank whatever deity or force of nature that may be, Twilight is well and truly, limping toward its end.
He can be so attractive…but its like sometimes he doesn’t want to be?
The shirt is awful and his neck scruff is bad.
And I don’t care for his suit either. To me it doesn’t look like it fits.
I think he generally could careless what people think of him. And that’s kinda a nice quality to have compared to most hollywood types.
I want to hold him down by force and shave all that mess off his face and his neck. He looks like something growing on the side of a tree trunk.
How can anyone call this man hot is beyond me. He looks gross and so immature.
Re the shirt, I posted this yesterday, but here it is again – http://thefashion-court.com/2012/10/robert-pattinson-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2-australian-fan-event/
I like it better on Rob than on the runway.
As soon as you started agreeing to photo ops with your “girlfriend” you lost all right to complain about what’s fair game in the media
Perhaps he didn’t agree to photo ops with his girlfriend, then his comments make a bit more sense.
Agreed if true. But that’s an accusation, not a conviction. Don’t you think you should at least allow for the possibility that he might be innocent until proof is obtained otherwise?
The nerve of complaining about the media when he’s over there agreeing to staged pictures to ease the twihards and please her sorry ass girlfriend.
Just stop bitching about the media. You benefit from them. They’re not gonna kiss your ass 24/7.
Like I said, you don’t know that he staged the pictures. At this point it’s an accusation, no more, with about as much proof as the claim that the moon-landings were faked (you know, you can tell by the shadows that the Apollo 11 photos were all taken in a warehouse at Area 51, LOL). Kidding aside, I’m not ruling out that they set up the shoots, by any means, but it seems a grossly over-elaborate and cack-handed way of achieving a very simple goal, if all they wanted to do was give the world the impression that they’re back together! Why burgle an upstairs window when you can just walk in through an open front door? I know their PR people aren’t very good, but are they so bad that they’d sanction that level of stupidity? Especially when anyone with half a brain could predict that people like yourself would immediately start shouting “Fake” and get listened to by enough of the fans to make the whole exercise self-defeating!
Oh, JS, do not waste your time trying to reason with Annie; She’s on a rampant roll of criticism ever since it was reported Rob got back with she-who-shal-not-be-named. She can post multiple times on any thread about either one of them and repeat herlself ad nauseam. It gets really tiring and you could seize your time to something a lot more productive.
@Diana. Thanks for the tip. Annie does seem particularly offended that Rob has failed to drive a stake through the heart of the Dark Princess and may instead have been key to raising her from her Trampire grave! LOL. Whatever, I still don’t like to see an apparently very decent man subjected to guilty-unless-proved-innocent justice, on the basis of some extremely questionable charges.
To be fair, JS & Diana – Anname post just as much if not more than Annie from the other perspective. She repeats herself as well.
Really who cares? This should all be in good fun, because in the grand scheme of things, none of what we say matter.
@ORLY: maybe I’m biased, cuz’ I still like Rob, but I find that although Anname does have a lot of posts, her arguments are very much well reasoned and respectful towards both the readers of this site and the famous people she talks about and also, she has never denied the fact that she’s a fan of Rob’s. Annie on the other hand has claim, in the particular case of Rob, that she has been let down by him and is no longer his fan and no longer cares about him or his career, yet she comments on everything about him just to bash him or she-who-shal-not-be-named. For someone who has stated she no longer cares, that’s very much contradictory.
You know, I think I’m starting to figure it out. He is not as cool as he seems. He is a bit of geek. Suddenly I see it in these pictures. An insecure bit geeky boy, who thinks he can’t get any better than Kristen.
+1
You know how people show off their “revenge” look after a break-up?
His “look” says to me-keep your hands off me. I’m making no effort to clean up and be attractive to you, KStew. Take a hint.
looking scruffy and unclean is the foundation of their relationship. its just like old couples who dress alike.
I dunno…he looked WAY better when they were apart – now that they are back together its like he looks scruffier than ever!
It’s like when a girl with a banging bod hides her attractiveness behind oversized sweatshirts and stringy. It say stay away…
G – This! That’s what I think. But also I thought he has outgrown such attitude. He is adult and he is successful and he understands the value of Twilight’s stans. WTF?
He looked so hot when they split! And now this…he looks horrible. The shirt is just horrible.
It’s almost as if she drains his will to live. He immediately stops showering and starts dressing like a moron when he’s with her.
What is this? What is this? He looked freaking HOT in NYC for Cosmopolis. And now this? Dumb shirts, awful hair, no will to live in his eyes.
He’s at his grossest when he’s with her.
Looks like kshrew is being his stylist now as well as the keeper of his balls. Two overexposed famewhores. Ugh, hopefully they both disappear after this last twi crap movie is done with.
ROFLMAO @ fart quote. There are some hilarious Bella-farting videos on youtube. I almost died while watching them. Rob’s quote reminded me of one video where Bella is screaming and farting in the bed dreaming about Edward. Lol lol!
here’s the one I was talking about. LOL!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuP-aYyboiU
That’s hilarious! I’ll be honest, I wait until those movies are on Pay-per-view, and then watch them! I can’t help it, they’re so terrible, but with each one I think, “I’m sure the next one will be better.” Nope, just progressively worse! They’re great for a laugh though, especially the first one- soooo much bad acting it kills me!
Wtf happened? He was looking so good right after the scandal came out and he went on Jon Stewart. Now, he’s all gross and unwashed again.
Kristen Stewart happened.
😉
See one minute you’re all telling me the relationship with Stewart is a fraud, the next you’re saying she’s responsible for everything from his bad shirt to his beard. Bad logic people, bad logic!
Pandora, what are you talking about? I have never once said that the relationship is a fraud. Ever.
I have posted about the pics possibly being staged,though.
Please get your facts straight. I rarely ever post about the actual dynamics of robsten because I don’t give a f*ck about all that. This is entertainment, hun.
I was thinking the same thing!
It just makes me think they probably make each other miserable. It’s that kind of relationship. He looks horrible and I’m just sad that his team isn’t there like on Cosmopolis.
But the again, it’s a total reflection of what he’s feeling. Does that look like a happy man?
Yes he looks totally off.
It must be a combination of having taken back the skank to please the powers that be at Summit and or the way he had compromised on his principles by agreeing to that photo op with his skanky gf.
Something is eating away on the inside.
Hope his no good manager Nick would give a good bitchslap and wake him up and make him dump that lame ass after BD2 is done.
Gawd I want the single Rob we got during Cosmo promos.
That’s what I was thining, what happened? Something is off with him, he doesn’t look happy.
Suit and shoes OK, but, I can’t stand that Kenzo shirt. Hate it.
I like beards and love scruff. Pattinson does look cute with scruff, but, here he is more in beard territory.
RPatz with a beard makes me think he’s a member of King Henry VIII’s court- and now I can’t unsee it.
This is not a man’s beard. A man would at least shave his effin’ neck. This is the beard of a young kid who is just growing facial hair for the first time. It’s atrocious.
Signed,
Someone who appreciates a well-groomed beard.
I do love a good beard, not a chia pet growin from the neck..
LOL! Stop it, marie. I’m alarming my co-workers with my random loud laughter.
Right there with you Kitty in loving a well groomed beard. I love to stroke it with my fingers but yeah, neck beards are an eyesore.
Oh I finally got the scene where he sees Bella for the first time and quoted it looked as if Bella farted while he walked by.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EUtFhH_KD4&feature=related
It’s weird how when he was apart from Kristen for that short amount of time (sigh) that I really noticed he was lookin good. Better than ever. Now that they’re together again, he looks awful here to me. Terrible suit and shirt and his hair is all crazy and gnarled again. But I do admire the fact he can admit Twilight sucked. I think for all the money it got all of the actors and fame, there is a tiny bit of regret in their minds when they think of how much crazy the franchise has brought them!
It’s actually like this all the time with him, has been for years. You’ll see him on a red carpet looking all groomed and fantastic, and then the next time you see him in an airport pic or something, he’ll look like a frat boy that just rolled out of bed and put on the first clothes he could find on the floor.
I don’t think he really gives a hoot about his appearance, he’s definitely not vain, I’ll give him that.
I’m not a fan of beards in general, a little light scruff is okay. Neck beard is never okay. But a man who has a jawline like Robert should show it off, imo. Clean shaven wins.
Love the shirt and jacket combo!!!
I love the shoes, it’s one of fall 2012 “hot” colours.
Yup, shoes are awesome! The whole look could have worked if it were dark grey jeans, dark jacket (slightly longer though, no need to freeze the balls) these shoes and this shirt. what a waste!
what happened? He look so good after him and Kristen broke up then just like magic he runs back to her like the pus*y whipped little weak whimp that he is, and he looks like death. She sucked the life right out of him…I hope he realizes what a fool he is. Dumba*s
He looked so good after he and Kristen broke-up (allegedly) because he was promoting Cosmopolis, a great movie that he really cared about.
Now he is promoting Twilight. He has been tied into Twilight films for 5 years and could give 2 sh!ts about making an effort for the red carpets. He appears to be in countdown mode until he reaches freedom.
That is a 180 shirt. It’s so bad it’s good. It’s old man-ish. ha! I don’t love it but I like it.
Btw you lost your “Media Complaints” card when you started playing the game with your gf deary. Sit down.
It’s growing on me. I do not like it with the suit, although I appreciate the attempt. If he unbuttoned the top and maybe one more button (possibly even a clean white crew neck t-shirt under it?) and paired it with crisp jeans and maybe a more coordinated casual blazer – I think he could work the shirt.
Yes, it definitely would have worked better with jeans.
The fact that he loves dogs makes me like him more, dogs are my favorite things in the world. But he really needs to groom himself, the ability to dress well and take care of ones self is tantamount to loving dogs in my book
Hitler loved dogs too, so what.
LOL
He’s just spineless. Ugh.
Slow news day huh?
So that five minutes he looked good promoting the Cronenberg movie was a fluke? Good to know, moving on. If he is happy to fade to indies that’s fine though. Leading man in Hollywood? Doesn’t look promising.
I wonder if Stewart will let him have his balls back for premiere night. 😉
He isn’t attempting to be a Hollywood movie star. I would not say “fading” to indies, instead that is what he is choosing now. I hope he does a few big movies down the road, but now he has the freedom to do the movies he wants. That is hardly fading.
The last photo is definitely a “Who farted?” look.
Too bad dogs don’t buy $13-14 movie tickets, nor do they director movies.
I have nothing against Lestat’s toothpick
He doesn’t look happy. While Kristen is glowing in Japan he looks depressed. Dude, lighten up. There’s fans dying to see you and cheering for you. Do you think this love will follow you forever? Passionate fans like that are very fickle. Enjoy it while you can and smile. Get over it. People have worse jobs that pay close to nothing. You’re not suffering through anything.
This is why this people have emotional break downs. They have everything in life and when things don’t their way they freak out. He hasn’t been through real hardships. They’re all spoiled brats dep down.
I dunno, I always thought he is sorta paranoid, so in fact he might feel miserable when surrounded by crowd, especially twi-batsh*t crazy crowd…
He needs to shave really bad. Neck hair is never a good look.
Rob’s suit looks like it’s almost too tight, and that shirt is so fug, just aweful. It must have been a bet.
Is it a coincidence that he gets back with Kristen and he starts to look dirty, grungy, and bad again?
He looks horrible. Take a bath. Wash your hair. You can still be cool and look clean.
Not his best look at all. Re the beard- it appears he is one of those guys with very fast growing facial hair who hates to shave. I agree- he needs the Cosmopolis grooming/styling team back STAT. I also agree that he’s so dreading what’s to come back in the States- someone is going to call him on those photos – Cabana Rob anyone?
I don’t think London will be very pleasant either.
I legit laughed out loud at Cabana Rob! Those totally not staged photos were 2nd hand embarrassing. Here love, don’t exert yourself going into the house to get your coffee. Can I get a cookie now?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he blamed himself for the fact that she cheated. I think he’s just that insecure. He’s admitted as much, many times.
I don’t think he is insecure. He knows what he wants, you may disagree with it, but that’s not insecurity. I would argue he is taking the harder road, and it takes more courage to do that.
The self-deprecating thing comes partly from handling the super-fast rise to fame, I think. How do you handle it when suddenly everyone thinks you’re the next big thing? It’s seem like he’s protecting himself from buying into his own hype with that sort of thing.
@Anname
Mr. Pattinson had said himself in interviews that he is insecure. He’s also admitted that he used to be fearful and that he wasted a lot of time being afraid. It seems that in some areas of his life he has confidence and in others he does not. Just like everyone else.
Anname, I think you are conveniently forgetting the many times that Rob has described himself as insecure. It’s not just simply my opinion. I guess I don’t understand why he’s choosing this “hard road” It just smacks of martyrdom. He looks downright miserable in most of the pics coming out of Australia. Maybe he’s just tired of the twilight circus. Or maybe it’s an outward reflection of inner turmoil and stress.
Adeli – I think he looks miserable here and like you said its probably the inside turmoil reflecting outside.
Or could be jet lag too.
Regards to insecurity – he has said he felt insecure before. That could be about his profession, acting. He never felt comfortable calling himself an actor till he finished Cosmo. He said that that movie experience has given him tons of confidence to go after the roles he wants instead of shying away from them.
We cannot project that ‘insecurity’ he has in acting to his personal life and the dynamics he has with women.
The look is the reflection of what he feels. Summit made him responsible for the success of the final installment. He has the franchise on his shoulders and tons of insulting comments – no wonder he’s extremely unhappy.
This is true, he has said he was afraid to do an audition, and regrets it. No doubt he has fears like everyone else. I was objecting to the comment that he is SO insecure, I don’t think he is anymore insecure than anyone else ( better way to phrase it).
Sparkles, honey, when you stage photo-ops with your so called girlfriend, you no longer get to complain about the media.
And we get it, you hate twilight. You’ve been singing the same song for years now and it would be funny and endearing if it were volunteer work, but you’re getting payed massive dough for it. So maybe STFU and be grateful that you have millions in the bank; you’re part of an infinitesimal percentage who can say that.
And also remember this bit of advice: never take a sh*t on a past job; potential employers don’t like that. But since you’re taking a big one on your current one, maybe you’re past instruction.
P.S. Your shirt is fugly as hell and you need some serious grooming. Fix that nastiness.
He doesn’t “hate” Twilight, he is just like every other guy who doesn’t understand why anyone would go this nuts over it. He finds the entire situation absurd – the popularity, the screams, the fervor. He can find the humor in it, and not use it to feed his own ego. This doesn’t mean he isn’t grateful for it all.
His job is to sell the movie, his interviews are engaging and funny, and when he talks about how ridiculous it was to film chewing out the baby from Bella (for example), it doesn’t really hurt ticket sales.
My favorite comment was a few years ago -he was asked if he would be a fan of Twilight if he weren’t in it. He said he would probably mindlessly hate it like every other guy. True! I enjoy Twilight for all it’s goofiness, but I have the same feelings as Rob does about it’s “quality” or lack thereof. When Taylor Lautner is asked these types of questions, he talks about how great it all is, and it is boring and sounds studio scripted. I’ll take Rob’s funny honesty.
Here you are! Back at the salt-mines! Shilling, shilling and shilling some more for Rob. Hate to disagree with you again — your efforts are impressive — but “Original Almond” made an excellent point. Pattinson earned HUGE sums from the Twilight series. Those of us with taste and discernment may call it crap. We may complain because we didn’t suck from the Twilight teat like Mr. Pattinson. But the ever-petulant Rob twitches and fidgets and complains as he laughs all the way to the bank. He’s happy to take the Twilight money — but doesn’t want the stench of its mediocrity to attach itself to his “person”. There’s that “fart” again. The Twilight fart that will follow them throughout their lives and careers. Sadly for Rob, it’s the way fame and money works.
When he complains about Twilight he sounds like an ungrateful prat who needs to man-up.
Hi Giddy – and you’re back too! How is your paycheck this week? Just remember, I find you as completely ridiculous as you find me…
If Rob lied his way through promo and talked about how much he respected the series, he would catch way more sh_t than he currently does. Would that be “manning-up” enough for you? He isn’t complaining, he is responding to interview questions, and trying to be entertaining.
Like everyone else with a brain and some taste, Mr. Pattinson finds Twilight ridiculous and stupid. I admire his honesty.
+1 I don’t know why people insist he doesn’t hate it. It’s pretty obvious he does. While he probably should keep his opinion about it to himself (meal ticket and all).
Damn it. Celebitchy is bad for me. I’m determined to no longer support this guy but he’s rather charming when he wants to be. He just has questionable taste and makes questionable decisions.
Hate is the wrong word. He finds it all a bit silly, but doesn’t everybody?
Silly? It’s about a vampire that sparkles in the sunlight and a werewolf who falls in love with…oh sorry “imprints on” an infant. Repulsive and stupid is good. Silly is an understatement. But I get it, Twilight got you on the Rob train, fair enough.
He lost a bet, right? That’s the only explanation for that outfit.
I get it…you and your girlfriend don’t care….moving on.
I don’t see the attraction at all. He has an acorn-shaped head, he has publicly admitted he has less than ideal hygiene (teeth and body), his beard looks awful, and he has strange eyes.
Wow!
Wow !!
Boy, there’s that charming british wit surfacing again.
God, he’s gross. What a loser.
This has got to be one of the funniest diatribes you’ve ever written about Sparkles. Darn near caused a spit-take all over my computer.
Maybe that could be a drinking game—every time it looks like “smell the fart” acting, take a drink! Might make the spectacle that is Twilight easier to stomach.
I agree with Anname, though. The goofiness is part of the stupid charm of these flicks.
Only seen ‘Water for Elephants’ and the one having to do with 9/11, I enjoy his interviews–think people should give him a chance to grow–and am thankful Kristen is gone. Not all get his sense of humor, oh well.
If you could see the pics for the interviews photocall, you would see how hot he is still looking. This set of photos, not so much.
Well. I really liked him and his acting in Twilight, so much so that I watched it a bunch of times. Also, I really liked him in all his other movies too, particularly Remember Me and Cosmopolis. I continue to look forward to his photo ops just to see what he wears, what his mood his, what he happens to say. Bottom line, he’s compelling and interesting to a lot of people, as evinced by the constant heavy hits and commentary on any post involving him on this website, and a whole helluva lot of others.
He is an ok actor but he really is very fun and likable in interviews and that’s most of his appeal. Fart joke made me laugh.
I don’t understand people why are you so harsh?He had enought sh..t on his head for last 3 months.He has all promotion on his shoulders and has to answer all those private questions(some journalist asked him about being father in real life etc.)He’s very intelligent and doesn’t dismiss Twilight,he defends himself being funny,maybe some Americans don’t understand his sense of humor,like many times in the past(Details interview about vaginas).He’s a human after all.
This guy might actually do it one day – give him 10-15 years like Leonardo DiCaprio needed before becoming something worth taking seriously. Currently, he just needs to mature, learn and do smart career moves like learning to act better and get the heck away from anything such as Twilight or K-Stew.
But yeah, I understand why he hates people and loves dogs. Dogs understand what respect and trust means.
He was a young budding actor when the first movie was being cast. Nobody knew who he was at all. He was thrilled to be cast. Now he has a lot of exposure (too much some might argue) and has been able to do different movies.
Kstew really does have a farty face all the time. She, unlike RP, hasn’t improved her skills much.
I am not a big fan of his but I actually like the neck scruff and shirt. I’m probably the only one in the world. I do not like the suit however.
