I didn’t bother posting any of this gossip since I was totally prepared to believe he just [...]

Two Robert Pattinson interviews

This interview totally cracked me up. It’s even weirder than his usual I think. I totally died when he started talking about his Dali film:
?In a lot of ways,? Pattinson says, ?I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff.?
See, Little Ashes [...]

{FILM DIARY}
