I am so over these two constantly complaining about the Twilight series. It’s almost as if Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are in competition for who can sound like they care LESS about the movie.
During an interview Rob gave about Twilight’s sequel New Moon, the actor admitted it is his favorite book because Edward is hardly in it.
"They’ve started making the second one.
It’s going to be shot in March next year (09). The second book is my favorite book – I’m hardly in it."
The man is making $12 million for the next movie. You think he’d be a little excited about the opportunity!!
Rob also admits that the story might get tweaked a bit to add Edward more to the big screen which makes him worried.
"I’m worried about that because the fans of the book will go nuts if it’s changed in any way."
What do you think about actors who don’t play the game? Rob isn’t the first and he certainly won’t be the last. Look at Vince Vaughn! He hasn’t done a single interview for Four Christmases. Some say it’s because of the bad blood between him and Reese Witherspoon – whatever the reason, he’s hasnt’ participated in one press junket yet.

Hey Rob and Kristen – SUCK IT UP!! If you don’t like the requirements that go along with acting in feature films then here is a suggestion – don’t act in feature films!! So what if they’re bored with answering the same questions over and over again…it comes with the job. Film promotion is just as big a part of the process as making the film. If you’re cashing the paycheck you’re required to do the work…as is the case with every other job on this planet.
Yeah… I don’t really blame him. Though, in my opinion, the books went downhill after Twilight. The rest kind of felt like over-written filler. I admit, while reading them I was as captivated as most. But, stepping back, it’s quite easy to see they aren’t the best books ever written. Basically, it’s really engrossing fluff.
Oh BTW, did I mention that he looks HAWT!
I have not liked him at all from the start. I’m glad he’s going away. And he’s not cute.
Sorry for of you who think they are entitled to whine about “having” to make a movie but lets get real. It’s a JOB. If they hate it that much, they need to go do something else. Yes, they give lots of interviews, yes they get asked the same questions over and over! Big deal! It’s not like they aren’t being compensated EXTREMELY well for it. I think that kind of whining shows bad grace. For 12 million, I’d do as many interviews as they want and STILL smile and say I love it. Heck, for 12 million, I probably WOULD love it. So just think about it before you jump on that boohoo bandwagon. Would you whine if they were paying YOU 12 mil?
What nobody seems to be getting here is that Rob is almost always very dry and sarcastic. Read or watch his interviews. He gives some very silly answers, but I’m wondering now if people are actually taking him seriously???
I’ve never seen an actual interview with him, Im always catching his interviews in print. Dry or not, he’s got to know if he’s got a shred of common sense that if he says things like that, even if he says it in a dry or sarcastic way, that people are going to take it to mean something else. Dryness and sarcasm dont lend themselves well to print. Just my 2 cents.
Guys – that quote is taken way out of context. If you want to see the entire interview, please go here: http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=32033. He is young and is doing the best he can. He is very shy, just like Kstew. I don’t believe any of us can fully understand how quickly his life has changed overnight and he has to be granted some time to adjust. He is new to this so cut the boy some slack.
Look, lets call a spade a spade. Any actors who act in “into the wild’ and ‘little ashes’ are not going tolove monochrome flat characters to play. Both of them did it for the work and the recognition. Twilight is a fun movie but it was not a good movie and I love me some mindless fun but must everyone be grateful for mindlessness? Is being intelligent and being able to critique good from bad movies a crime now? Both of them obviously did not enjoy playing the characters and did not like the book. Its very had to sound sincerely thrilled about being a horrible but lucrative movie in interviews. That would explain Stewart’s reluctance to talk about the movie. And that would explain his antagonism towards crazy fans who just want to look athim instead of talk about the project.
*applause for Callie* Well-said!
i absolutely adore rob…i think he is gorgeous & i really like him even though he may be somewhat of a cad…kristen seems like a real bitch…in general i am also completely tired of their bad attitudes…hers is way worse than his & its just rude.
they are making millions off of this & still sounding like spoiled brat ingrates, like they are so above all this “twilight” stuff…it comes off as disrespectful. as for them possibly being tired of all the repetitive questions, that is their job & they get paid quite handsomely for having to deal with all the travel & interviews. whose job isnt repetitive?
acting isnt rocket science, so if they are on some intellectual high horse thinking that they are too good for fluffy entertainment then they need to make better career choices & not take it out on the fans.
yeah I’ll defend Rob because when you watch him in interviews he jokes around alot and he doesn’t take himself seriously. I think people read too much into what he says and take things out of context. Kristen on the other hand just annoys me and she makes it quite obvious that she hates doing interviews.
it sounds to me he’s just joking about the fact that he’s not in it? plus they have been promoting non stop?? he’s not like vince vaughn and four christmases where he’s not doin any press whatsoever
I’m sure he wasn’t serious. Stop picking on my man!
I dont know why people are so up in arms over this. Its kind of ridiculous. I’m not like a super fan here or anything, i read the books i liked them, i saw the movie, i liked it, but what Rob was asked was which book he liked best. And he answered. His favorite book is New Moon, there is NO crime in saying that. We all have our favorites, mine happens to be Eclipse.
In every interview i have seen (both in print and tv/online) he seems very down to earth and very RESPECTFUL of the Twilight “phenomenon” and its fans, so i really dont see a reason to come on here and say sh*t about him saying this or that, when in fact he didnt say anything bad.
At least he read ALL of the books, which is NOT something i can say for the rest of his co-stars (including his leading ladY). He looks at the phenomenon and he takes it as it is, he doesnt take himself all that seriously, and he’s going along with it as best as he can. Nobody can blame him for that.
And FOR THE RECORD he said that the $2 mil and $12 mil figures that were given that he supposedly made for Twilight and the upcoming New Moon he said are ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE, if you dont believe me watch his new interview from England. He said he didnt know where people came up with those figures, because he has NEVER been paid $2mil for a movie and he certainly doesnt have a $12 mil paycheck for New Moon. it was all lies.
There you go. Learn/read/understand before you all judge.
seriously, i don’t understand what everyone is going on about. he said that he liked the 2nd book best and that edward is less in it…i don’t see how that equals to “I dont’t like the movie I’m making or the books it’s based on”. The only thing you can blame him for is that he doesn’t see edward as a perfect person.
and kristen has repeatedly said that she loves the books just as much as any other fangirl and that she begged for the part…
still, I do understand why one might see them as being reluctant, they are not behaving like your typical hollywood star.
I actually think it’s a breath of fresh air that these two don’t act like every other stiff in Hollywood trying to be the perfect image. They are who they are – shy, shoved in the spotlight by a phenomenon that has exploded. How many times can they answer the same questions over and over again? I admire them for being different…who needs another cookie cutter Disney star for young people to look up to? Let them know that it’s cool to be an individual too and talented ones at that.
this is the good and the bad about FOLLOWING your dream job as an actor. when entering in this field no one prepares you for when you become that MAJOR STAR. you go to acting school and you prey you’re blessed to be seen and heard, and even liked by an audience; BUT THE MAJOR PROBLEM is WHEN YOU BECOME THAT UNDISCOVERED GEM FOR A MAJOR PART IN SOMETHINGS YOU PROBABLY HAD NO IDEA THE “REAL MAGNITUDE THAT THIS PROJECT WAS INVOLVED IN, with you as it’s new source of LIFE. Some fans take the success of an artist project ; whether it be a book, film or music..ext entertainment to a level of enjoyment and fun, and others are just plan LOOPY AND OBSESSED. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS SUCCESS OF THIS BOOKS AND FILMS may be PUTTING UNFORSEEN PRESSURE OF THESE STARS. There maybe alot that is happening that may mess very badly in their world. one thing I can think of is “THE LACK OF PRIVACY” and how about “STARKERS” I’VE had a few of those loones. IT’S NOT EASY BEING PLEASING ( as a new star in a very intense world of fame and new fortune.
CUT THEM SOME SLACK. SOME PEOPLE REALLY DO WANT TO BE JUST ACTORS AND MOST OF EVERY ONE ELSE JUST WANTS TO BE FAMOUS STARS. YOU CAN TELL BY THE ONE THAT LOOK FOR THE TROUBLE IN THE MEDIA. CAN’T BLAME PEOPLE FOR WANTING WHAT IS THEIR BLOOD (NO PUN INTENDED).
I don’t blame either Robert or Kristen for feeling how they do at the moment in regards to the film. They are under constant watch and eyes of anyone around them. The press is nuts, the movie is huge, and it’s alot to take in.
So what if he’s not in the second movie alot? It’s still going to be great, the rest of the cast is just as good!!
Thats what Im screaming!!
I would rather have 1 actor be honst about their work than 10 sit there and feed me BS all day saying “Oh this is great.. yada yada.”
Do you people not complain about your jobs??
Give it a rest
Dude, get over yourself, check your ego now Orson Welles and for God’s sake, find a comb, brush, shampoo and clean yourself up, that’s just nasty.
12 millions for one film…!! that’s a CRAZY world
I can’t believe people are taking this remark as a literal one!! He was clearly joking.
As one of the posters has already said, Brits are known for their dry sense of humor.
It’s like how Keira Knightley’s always going on about the fact that she’s always afraid producers are going to fire her. It’s called “taking a ****”; when he said that remark, he’s just having a laugh. I agree that it’s harder to discern this kind of humor in print than in a film interview, but I’d put money on the fact that it’s a light remark. He was teasing.
I don’t take the remarks quoted as complaining, they seem pretty matter of fact. Why bring Vince Vaughn into this? He usually promotes his films but Reese at the premiere said he was away filming on location.
I have to agree with alot of other people who have posted….I would definitely NOT think Rob or Kristen are complaining about this. They have been in over 3 different countries promoting this movie for the last couple of months! I would HARDLY compare them Vince Vaughn- I haven’t seen him in ANY interviews at all, but I have seen Rob in a countless amount of interviews!
Ok, he’s ridiculously hot, so i can deal with his “I hate this” attitude. But HER? She’s a nobody. She’s LUCKY she even got this part and should be damn grateful.
ya but right after the “im hardly in it” comment he specifically said “but thats not the reason why its my fav
i personally LOVED the end of it, but yes i missed edward! my guess is they’ll shorten the time on screen that he’s gone, like in the book he was gone like 3/4 of the book. my guess is that in the movie he’ll be gone like 1/4 (i hope!) cuz kristen will make 12 mill also, and if he has like 20 min of screen time and makes 12 mill and she has 90 min of screen time and makes 12 mill ill be all….wtf?
I completely agree. None of us knows what it’s like to suddenly have no private moments when you’re simply out walking the dog…or whatever. Part of what will keep these two sane is the relative modesty they’ve shown regarding their Twilight personas, and not taking all of that too seriously. The Twilight movie, after all, is art imitating art. It’s a visually-entertaining representation of Stephenie Meyer’s works. The characters in the books both preceded and will go beyond (in depth of content–as is always true of books) that of the films, and the actors in those films. Mr. Pattinson is an avid reader who realizes this. This isn’t just about women’s fantasies about his him or the Edward character!

I totally agree with you, but i hate how everyone bashes Kristen. every little thing she does is always blown out of proportion, i think they should leave her alone. i mean when Rob smokes and drinks and gets high, everyone looks up to him, but when Kristen says something and speaks her mind or even smokes once(even though that’s wrong), everyone gets pissed as if she said a racial slur or brought over illegal drugs from another country! i think everyone should STOP JUDGING HER because she is a teenager (even though i am too) and she was just put out in the spot light and under a microscope under night! remember that she is uncomfortable and out of her element, so please look at all perspectives and be fair and kind.
i agree girl!!!
I just don’t see the appeal in these two. I have tried, I really don’t.
I still insist that he looks like an ex boxer and she looks like a rodent.
A good looking ex boxer and a pretty rodent.
If he hates it that bad maybe he should look for another career while he is still young.
look amy u are the meanist girl he should stay in his career because he does it really really well
In their defense (and I’m not a hardcore “OME” or Rob person) – it’s got to get old repeating the same thing over and over for weeks on end. I understand there are Twilight fans that want to discuss the new movie and that’s fantastic. But these two are only human and are entitled to experience ‘I don’t give a rat’s a**’ days. And if I’m not mistaken, Kristen is extremely shy, to the point that interviews with her are painful. I don’t blame them for wanting a reprieve.
I totally agree!!
Sorry, but I really don’t like ingrates. Maybe these two should be replaced. There’s plenty of gorgeous young actors and actresses who would kill for those parts.
Seriously????? I will admit that Kstew can be a bitch.. and that it does piss me off that she hasnt even read the rest of the books… but the two of them have been promoting Twilight NONSTOP for like 3 months. They get asked the same damn questions over and over.. and I would probably be sick of it too.
It isnt like he is saying “the books are crap!” he is giving his opinion which he was asked for..
Give the guy a break. If I was hounded by 15 year old girls constantly I would probably be a little snarky too
i loved the movie i saw it twice : ) but i would have to agree with Ali it was to get old fast answering the SAME questions and talking about the movie for months on end.
i don’t think he meant it the way it came off.
i think they both did great
i think they are beautiful as well : )
Rob has always claimed that New Moon is his favorite. Maybe because out of all the other books, this one requires less attention on him and more on Jacob. He has done tons of press for twilight and will have to do the same for the other books, I’m sure he’s relieved that his character in new moon will be less and therefore, Jacob (Taylor) character will be handling most of the press…cant say i blame him.

Do you have any idea how many actors and actresses would kill to be in their shoes? TONS. I still think they should be a little more magnanimous toward their fanbase, because one day it may not be there anymore. Trust. And yes, I am a Twilight fan and liked the movie a lot. I’m just being objective here. I think they need to keep their disdain to themselves.
Bottom line.. until we are in their shoes… we cant judge.
Rob is just too cute to be mad at
I don’t think he didn’t mean to offend anyone with what he said. I’ve read several of his interviews and I think he was just being his sarcastic self! I actually think he’s funny, in that shy, sexy, dorky kind of way. But then again, I might be biased.
I don’t see why that would make ppl so upset? I think ppl just want to pick things that they say or do about them just to bring them down, my opinion. In every single interview I’ve seen him in hes always real respectful towards Edwards character. I actually saw that interview and he had said that with Edward gone you can feel how deep their love is for each other and that hes so excited to do his come back scene!! but of course they didnt put that in there. Like I said ppl are going to always try to twist their words around. Its pretty sad! I saw the movie and loved it! as a Twilight fan I do wish they would of put more parts in but I still cant wait for all the next movies to come
rob is a lazy bum..he doesnt hav to act much in new moon datz y he likes new moon:P i like new moon too and i just love edward..and i only like robert cuz hes funny and the girls are crazy abt him and he wont accept the girls
That was cited incorrectly. the connotation is all wrong. After reading the books new moon was his favorite, yes. but it has nothing to do with edward or himself. He just enjoyed new moon, he thought it was funny.
ROBERT PATTINSON IS HOT AND IS A GOOD ACTOR IN TWILIGHT AND IS GOING TO BE A GOOD ACTOR IN ALL THE REST OF THE MOVIES…..
that MAMITA GIRL feels like she’s pretty!!! no youre not dumbass!!! stop being stereotype!!! youre ugly.. look at urself.. youre a big wicked witchy witch!!!
both great actors. shy or not – they’ve been asked for their opinions and thoughts and they’ve answered honestly. i find their comments more interesting than the actors who sugar-coat everything they say.
That is my shocked/awkward face i made when i read this.
Perhaps it wasnt what he meant to say and it just came out wrong.
Whatever the reason, that was the most disrespectful thing he could have said. Be a little happy YOU RICH BASTARD.
I dont see why you guys are judging Kristen and Robert. Or critizing them. It’s not like any of you know them. Or maybe you do and your saying this from what you know. Or your just jealous either way it doesnt give you the excuse to say stuff about them that isnt true or saying how much ou dont like them. Cause what’s the point and why are you even leaving a comment on how much you hate them. It’s not really worth it to start aurguements with people you dont even know.
Or you can look at it in this perspective. If YOU were famous and YOU had all these sites about YOU. would you be happy if someone left something about you you didnt like?
So maybe instead of trying to act like you know them maybe you should just back off.
And this is just from my point of view. And you probbably won’t even read this or listen to it. No offence!
to be honest, i didn’t like Edward in Breaking Dawn, i found him kinda mean in the ending of book one and in book two
to be honest, i didn’t like Edward in Breaking Dawn (even though it’s my fave out of all the four) i think he was mean, rude, and unfair to Bella at the end of book 1 and all of book 2.
u are a liar because I saw that interview and he actually said it’s my favorite book and NOT because I’m hardly in it
WTH are u all talkin’ about?
Yes, it’s their job but they’ve the right to say that they don’t like the part with the interviews !
Why should they go and do another job??
Rob is shy and I think thats the reason that he likes not to have the main role on new moon that doesn’t mean that he hates to act or something like that.
You all shouldn’t be so rude and say these senseless things
btw : I’m german so don’t mind about my english
we love u we love u ur the awesomest actor in the world
yeah. agreed.
