Robert Pattinson looks good, promotes ‘The Rover’ in Cannes: would you hit it?

wenn21365698

Damn, Sparkles is looking good. Robert Pattinson arrived in Cannes a few days ago to promote two back-to-back films. These are all photos from his promotion for The Rover over the weekend, note that I’m including pics of Guy Pearce too (God, I love Guy Pearce). Sparkles’ is promoting Maps to the Stars today, but I’m probably going to wait for that red carpet (which happens tonight) to talk about that. If you want to read a review of Maps to the Stars, go here. They say Rob’s part is underwritten, but hey… he got to work with Cronenberg again, so he considers it a win.

As for The Rover… well, people are saying Rob can actually act! He’s actually getting “some of his best reviews yet,” according to Variety. Unfortunately, The Rover is out of competition at Cannes, which is unfortunate because most of the competition films have received terrible reviews. Something not so nice: Rob is still getting questions about Twilight. Hey, it happens. To his credit, this is how he responded when asked if he would ever go back to the franchise that made his career: “I couldn’t do another ‘Twilight’ movie. I’m too old.”

Seriously… Rob looks really good in these pics, doesn’t he? Kristen Stewart is due in Cannes in a day or two and sources are saying that Rob is flying out by the time she’s coming in. Huh.

    Non!

    • vangroovey says:

      Here’s another “no” vote! His popularity will forever confuse me. I’ve never — EVER — looked at that boy and thought, “hot.” The guy in the glasses standing next to him? He’s hotter…

    • kri says:

      Only with a can of spray deodorant.

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      Meh. That’s a no from me too.

  2. aims says:

    Is water wet? Hell yes I would hit it hard!!!

  3. Ninks says:

    Nope.

  4. Jac says:

    He seems like the kind of guy who would cry afterwards, so…no.

  5. Snazzy says:

    I think he looks great there! Good for him on the reviews, I’m glad things are working out for him. As terrible as those Twilight movies were, I didn’t mind him so much.
    Would I hit it? Well, not really my type, but I’d be willing to try 🙂

  6. Rabia says:

    Of course. He looks really good. The tan and slight extra weight do him wonders. His hair is still too short, though.

    • PunkyMomma says:

      Is it just my eyes, or is his hair thinning out? Maybe the reason for the short cut?

    • mia girl says:

      I actually prefer him with the shorter hair.
      He’s passed his pretty boy prime, and as he settles into his mature”man” face, I think the shorter hair makes his features a bit more interesting. Either way, he looks good.

      And Pearce, I can’t wait to see hs performance in The Rover. IMO he doesn’t get enough credit for how fine an actor he is.
      Love love love him… even with the Birkenstocks.

  7. blue marie says:

    Nah, but he looks better here than he has in a while.

    • Rice says:

      He has been looking good lately.

      The Rover is at 40% on Rottentomatoes at the moment and his performance reviews have been 50-50. Let’s hope it gets better because I’d like to see him succeed.

  8. Hannah says:

    What are those shoes, Guy Pearce? You’re in Cannes! Or just simply out in public…

  9. FingerBinger says:

    Why is Guy Pearce wearing Jesus slippers? What’s that all about?

  10. PunkyMomma says:

    No, I wouldn’t hit it. There was a time when he was younger and had some sort of ethereal beauty that youth brings, but I don’t see that anymore. Wish him well, though.

  11. Esmom says:

    Yes, love him.

    Guy Pearce’s shoes, on the other hand, are a big no. He looks like he hasn’t aged at all, though.

  12. Melymori says:

    What the fuck is going on at Guy Pearce feeeeet! Please stop that… Also Rob is looking good although a little alcohol bloated or maybe is the jet lag.

  13. Alex_r says:

    Why is everyone talking about Pattinson when there is Guy Pearce around. Now that is someone I’d hit in every way possible?

    • mom2two says:

      For real! Didn’t find Pattinson attractive in his Twilight days and still don’t find him attractive now.

    • Dani2 says:

      *High fives* I’ll take Guy, slippers and all 😉

    • reeniej says:

      Aaahhhhh, a voice of sanity! Pearce pleasure-dom abounds 🙂

      Besides, there’s not enough soap in the world to wash off the Stewart/Sanders DNA from poor, poor Pattinson. I’m afraid he’s been stained….. permanently.

    • Anname says:

      As much as I like Rob, it is sort of embarassing that Guy Pearce gets so little attention when Rob is around. I have been watching lots of Cannes coverage, and he is literally getting pushed out of the way so people can get to Rob. On the Rover red carpet, the first thing he said to the interviewer is to joke “Sorry I’m not Rob Pattinson” – it’s crazy.

  14. Div says:

    That’s funny cause I was going to say he has Jude Law syndrome in that he’s lost his looks now that he’s hit his late 20s. He also looked weirdly sweaty in the photos I saw on Daily Mail.

  15. Tig says:

    Oui. Seriously, he does look great- South of France agrees with him! And face it- he’ll always be asked about T’light, just like Leonard Nimoy gets asked about ST and Harrison Ford is asked about Indiana Jones. And no, not asking for a debate on merits of the films- just that actors tend to be asked about film/acting roles that were/are big.

  16. Dani says:

    Is that guy wearing Birkenstocks?????? I haven’t seen Birks since middle school!

  17. Ashling says:

    I love Guy Pierce, but I find his shoes appalling. He and Robert look like they have matching jeans.

  18. OriginalCrystal says:

    I really want to see this movie for Guy. He’s brilliant.

    Hold up… Am I finding Robert slightly attractive? Noooooooooooooo
    *runs away screaming*

  19. Abbott says:

    Shovel face got his shovel spray tanned on high.

    • ORLY says:

      We get it Abbott, you think Pattinson looks like a shovel. You’ve said it numerous times, we know how you feel. 🙂

  20. Lucy says:

    He looks gorgeous!! It was nice to see him there.

  21. PunkyMomma says:

    Have to say Guy is rockin’ his tux way better than Rob. One would have though Dior would have done a better job.

  22. Josephine says:

    Pattison finally got jeans that look good on him, so I’ll give him that. He looks tired but still a handsome guy, Just not my type.

  23. Anname says:

    Love love love him. So glad his 2 films and his performances are being so well-received. He seems very happy to be back at Cannes, lot of great networking too!

    • OriginalCrystal says:

      I thought of you while I was reading the good reviews.
      LOL. Your boy did it *fist bump*

    • mia girl says:

      OC – so funny! I also thought of Anname when I read the good reviews this weekend. I knew she would be proud.

      Anname – as someone who also likes Pattinson, I always appreciate your posts about him. You are a nice fan.

    • Diana says:

      Anname rocks!

    • Anname says:

      Aw, thanks to both of you! 🙂 This made me smile.

  24. JH says:

    Guy is still way hotter.

  25. Paige says:

    Nah, I’ve never found him attractive. I just don’t see the appeal.

  26. Lara says:

    I’d hit it and then it again.

  27. Argirl says:

    Always.

  28. daisyfly says:

    Yep. He could totally be my hump helper.

  29. FLORC says:

    He looks fantastic. I’m not Rob fan and never really have been, but yes. I would absolutely!
    He looks more manly and almost like he’d be a suprisingly good toss. Not dirty an rough like Chris Pine, but more unexpectedly hot like Stephen Moyer.

    This perked up my day!

    And Michael J. Fox still gets asked about the BTTF movies. Claim to fames will always be around.
    Now if Kristen or Taylor still get asked about Twilight it would sting more because they’ve done so little and nothing terribly good since then. They will only be known for that.

  30. Corrie says:

    Yes, for sure. His career is taking off. Underrated no longer. He’s got talent.

  31. Corrie says:

    Also Kaiser, what are you going to do when Benedict and Robert are on set together. Good times.

  32. Sarah says:

    Both these guys need to check their shoe game. Pattz has been wearing those disasters for years, and mandals on Guy? yikes.

  33. Tiffany :) says:

    This is so lame of me to say…but I would have to meet him and see what he is like. If he is too stupid, vacant, or smelly then No. If he was charming and witty, then Yes! I need to get better at objectifying men, lol.

  34. Eleonor says:

    Guy Pearce is faaar way hotter.

  35. almond says:

    I don’t know why but he makes me think of pickled herring. Guy, on the other hand, lose the awful footwear and I’m all over him.

  36. Just Me (and my Bobby McGee) says:

    Sorry you guys – Birkenstocks are back. They’ve been all over the runways.

    Now they just need to bring back REAL rock and roll. #waiting

  37. tealily says:

    I love love Guy Pearce, but omg I thought that was Donnie Wahlberg. No lie.

  38. Lili says:

    He’s SO not my type. His face looks a bit like it’s been smashed in and I just can’t with his eyebrows. I never really understood the hype around him, not even during Twilight. I wouldn’t do this guy even if I was single and he was the last man on Earth that wasn’t taken! I’d make a wooden doll instead, paint the face of some hottie on it and pretend it was real.
