stop the presses.......there's more

a transcript of the interview from Spanish Glamour where that vision of hotness photo came from.....

(if you aren't a Twilighter...then why aren't you?......excuse these little outbursts.....)

They say this British guy started to work in the industry because he wanted to meet girls. What he didn’t know is that his life was going to change forever once he got cast as the teenage vampire Edward Cullen, hero to millions of teenagers thanks to the famous Twilight saga written by Stephenie Meyer. We’re in the city of Los Angeles and we speak with this peculiar actor that will become our Salvador Dali very soon.

Does Twilight remind you of your real life and high school, when two people are attracted to each other with such energy?

Yes, although I had really bad luck with girls (as if that's possible), the ones I liked hated me and the ones that liked me were not my type. But that’s something that I still go through, I like girls that I shouldn’t like. But I’m learning and now I take my time before I let the girl know.

Do you believe in obsessive love?

Yes, but only from a girl’s point of view. I don’t think men are like that. Not many men read Stephenie Meyer books anyway.

You’re right. That’s what I was going to ask you. Do you believe this story was tailor made for young girls?

Yes, it’s so weird and funny. After reading the books I’ve been asking myself why do women act like that, why do they behave like that, especially younger girls. They turn into freaks when it comes to boys. I like normal girls who don’t pretend to be anything else. (raising hand and waving...pick me pick me.....WHAT....I'm normal.....sort of)

Would you like to live forever?

No, although it does have its advantages.

Do you understand the attraction and mystery around vampires?

I’ve never been interested in vampires (me either, at least not until YOU became one...told you we were made for each other), although I understand why they’re so appealing to some people.

How are you handling being the new It Boy, being in so many covers of magazines now all over the world?

I don’t mind (I'm sure you don't....hello Money Train), my character is so good and he deserves to be admired. From the moment I signed up for this I knew what I was getting myself into. Edward is a vampire, he’s not a hero like Superman, he’s a vampire in love who wants to be normal.

It took him 90 years for him to find love. Do you believe in love at first sight?

That’s so boring! (pshhhht.....yeah.....SO boring) I think we all have the right to fall in love several times. The conventional idea of love, the idea of being with somebody for the rest of your life and love her forever sounds so silly to me, and so unrealistic. I think you can love ten people at the same time (laughs).

What are your biggest passions?

I’m boring. I like reading (ME TOO!!!), watching movies (OMG....ME TOO!! scary how much we have in common) and playing the piano (is that code for sexytime? if so.....ME TOO!).

Would it scare you to fall in love like the characters in Twilight?

Yes, because it’s an obsessive love, a sick love. When you fall in love and you lose yourself like that (I have no idea what you are talking about Edward......err I mean Robert...). Imagine falling in love like that!

Do you get hit on by difficult women?

I’m crazy about independent women who don’t require too much attention.

Have you ever used the phrase “I’m an actor” as a pick up line?

No, that phrase doesn’t work here in LA - everybody is an actor here.

Are you planning on going to college?

Yes, but I’m planning on taking it slowly, probably when I’m 28. As an actor you have to take advantage of the opportunities you get and not letting them pass by.

Do you remember the first time you loved someone?

Yes. It’s weird to enjoy your first love, especially if the relationship lasts a long time. Our relationship was really beautiful, but we didn’t have an obsessive love like in the movie. Her presence in my life made me very happy for three years. Now it’s kind of hard to talk about it.
