lol, RPattz newageamazon and I were piddling about with a theory that Robert Pattinson (the guy who plays Edward in the upcoming Twilight movie) really hated the entire deal, thought the fans were insane, and needed chemical bolstering to make it through things Twilight-related. Cases in point: Him looking like he was completely wasted at interviews and him saying the shrieks of fangirls remind him of hell . . . while looking blindingly wasted.
He just proved us right. From Empire magazine:
"When you read the book," says Pattinson, looking appropriately pallid and interesting even without makeup, "it's like, 'Edward Cullen was so beautiful I creamed myself.' I mean, every line is like that. He's the most ridiculous person who's so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn't do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that's how I played him, as a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus, he's a 108 year-old virgin so he's obviously got some issues there."
Seriously, I'd send him a shiny thing but I get the impression he'd be happy to never see a single sparkly object ever again. He may have to settle for cookies.
