Robert Pattinson seems to over-identify with Kate Middleton

These are new photos of the Berlin photo call for Water for Elephants. Reese Witherspoon was mysteriously absent (re: she doesn’t give a crap because the movie kinda bombed anyway), but Our Beloved Sparkles was there, with Christoph Waltz. I’m enjoying the interaction between the two men – they seem to genuinely like each other, and I hope Christoph gives Sparkles some lessons on acting and life, and I hope Sparkles listens.

Speaking of Sparkles being totally over his own fame, during a recent interview, Sparkles fielded some questions about the royal wedding and Kate Middleton in particular. As you can imagine, Sparkles seems to identify with Kate. Because in his relationship with Kristen Stewart, Sparkles is The Girl. He is The One Who Waits. He is The One Who Wants To Settle Down. I love that about him. Sparkles is so Waity.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson thinks life is going to be difficult for royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton after she marries Prince William.

Pattinson feels sympathy towards Kate, 29, who is set to tie the knot on Friday, as she will be under huge amounts of pressure once she becomes a member of the British royal family.

Robert, 24, told British Radio Times magazine: “It’s going to be hard [for her] because people will lay responsibilities on her that seem totally irrelevant. You can’t mess up, either. As an actor, you can kind of mess up – but not if you’re a royal.”

“I have always liked the members of the royal family who couldn’t care less what anyone thinks: the ones who go, ‘I’m royalty, so shut up!’ That’s one of the coolest things about England, I think, that we still have this crazy old system in place.”

And Rob says he will be tuning in to watch the wedding.

He added: “Yes, I’ll definitely be watching the royal wedding. I mean, they’re absolutely obsessed with it in America, it is just insane but I guess it’s kind of a big deal. Actually, I think it’s really sort of fascinating.”

Oh, Sparkles. It’s okay to admit that you’re going to watch the royal wedding just to see the dress and have a good cry when they exchange vows. It’s okay, dude. You’re allowed to be emotional. That’s why we love you. You’re pretty like a girl and emotional like a girl and sometimes you just feel like watching wedding stuff. It’s fine, dude.

    in interviews i love this boy. on screen it’s a buzz kill-so bizarre…

  2. Days after Christmas says:

    I love me some Sparkles! He’s so sensitive and down to earth. Just to annoy me my husband refers to him as “Robin Patterson.”

  3. Enny says:

    Heard in the voice of Marta (from Arrested Development): “You are sensitive, like woman.”

  4. You don't say says:

    Oh, you mean Pattinson is in the picture? All I see is the beautiful Christoph Waltz.

  5. ThirdChris says:

    God I love Sparkles. He’s so freaking dorky.

  6. Delta Juliet says:

    That picture of Christopher resting his head on Sparkles is adorable.
    I <3 Sparkles. He seems so sweet.

    @Enny “Heard in the voice of Marta (from Arrested Development): “You are sensitive, like woman.””

    Nailed it! Love starting my work day with a good laugh.

  8. Kaboom says:

    Christoph Waltz definitely has some impish qualities.

  9. kazoo says:

    love love love christoph.

  10. Beth says:

    I imagine she wasn’t there because she just got married and she’s choosing her press appearances based on that. I wouldn’t say it bombed. How could it “overperform” and bomb at the same time?

    “You’re pretty like a girl and emotional like a girl…”

    I agree that this is a large part of his appeal. By the same token, I like that K-Stew seems quite butch and aggressive relative to our expectations of femininity. I think that makes them a cool, complementary straight couple–both defy gender conventions in a way that is generally read as gay in our culture. I think it’s actually an inspiring thing for all his young female fans to see…

  12. Whitney says:

    I like ths pics with Cristoph. I’ve decided that if I ever meet sparkles, I’m going to ask if I can put my head on his shoulder while still mantaining a safe body distance from him, like they are doing in the last pic. He’d probably say no, but at least I would have tried.

  13. Nanea says:

    I ♥ Christoph.

    Sparkles who?

  14. mia girl says:

    @Obvious
    I don’t think it helps that the majority of his acting skill has been developed by playing a semi-emotionless, 100+ year old, mind reading vampire whose made out of sparkling stone and is so tightly wound given that he’s never had sex and abstains from drinking human blood. It’s no wonder Pattinson plays this crazy part as “constipated”.

    If you like him in interviews, then combine the two experiences. A while back my daughter and I watched the Eclipse movie with the DVD commentary from Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. It was very entertaining – made the film much more enjoyable. Among many things they poke fun at the film (in their way) and actually Stewart is very jovial in the commentary as well. Plus, she laughs at everything the guy says. In whatever way they are together, it is clear they get along very well.

    How cute is that last pic? Awwww *swoon* I wanna marry it!

  16. Cheryl says:

    Christoph is such a good actor!

  17. jemshoes says:

    Great post and photos, Kaiser! It made me giggle like a girly-girl. 😀 This is guy is so affable.

  18. sassy says:

    Again, I humbly beg: Christoph for HGF!! Goddamn he’s hot!
