The Movie Fanatic Profiles Robert Pattinson
|
Due to the release of his movie Twilight in November, Robert Pattinson who also portrayed "Cedric Diggory" in Goblet of Fire has been as prominent as Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in the online media. The Movie Fanatic (tMF) posted a profile on Mr. Pattinson which mentions his experience with Goblet of Fire.
While the director Mike Newell was casting the fourth Harry Potter film, Mr. Pattinson was to be in South Africa for his role as “Giselher” in The Ring of the Nibelungs. So, the casting agent arranged for Pattinson to be the first actor to audition for Mr. Newell. The profile stated a quote Mr. Newell made about Pattinson:
“Cedric exemplifies all that you would expect the Hogwarts champion to be. Robert Pattinson was born to play the role; he’s quintessentially English with chiseled public schoolboy good looks.”
The profile added a quote made by Pattinson about preparing for Goblet of Fire:
“I read the book before the audition and I kind of felt there wasn’t any part of the character which I didn’t think I could play…But I just felt quite at ease with it. I just really wanted to do it really well because I’m still young and everything, and a relatively inexperienced actor…I was just concentrating a lot and put quite a lot of work into it in the beginning.”
Although the profile has quotes which may be familiar to Harry Potter/Robert Pattinson fans, there is still interesting information about the actor. One example is his first stage appearance at the Barnes Theater Club was in the chorus of Guys and Dolls as a Cuban dancer.

The article mentions he was born on May 13, 1986 to Richard Pattinson who imports vintage model cars from America and Clare Pattinson who works for a modeling agency. His two older sisters are Victoria and Lizzy. His father encouraged him to join the Barnes Theatre Club when he was 15. At first, Pattinson worked backstage before he decided to audition for Guys and Dolls:
"So I auditioned for Guys and Dolls and got a little tiny part as some Cuban dancer or something and then in the next play I got the lead part, and then I got my agent. So I owe everything to that little club.”
Vanity Fair was his first film, even though he can only be seen in an alternate ending on the DVD edition. He had the part of the older Rawdy Crawley, Becky Sharp’s son. Then, he did The Ring of the Nibelungs, followed by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. After the excited recognition he had as “Cedric Diggory”, Pattinson chose to play Toby Jugg, an ex-World War II flight lieutenant confined to a wheelchair, in The Haunted Airman.
Chris Durlacher, writer and director of The Haunted Airman, gave this quote about Pattinson for the profile:
“I loved working with Rob. He has that rare mix of humility and an inner confidence, which means that he's both a happy and a challenging colleague. From the moment, in the first rehearsals when we put Rob in the 1940s wheelchair that he was stuck in for most of the film I could see Rob working his way into the shattered mind of his character, Toby. So as we were the shooting the film, whatever Rob did, rather whatever Toby did, it always felt honest and real. I wanted the audience to sympathise Toby but also to be frightened of him; to fear for him and to be fearful of him. It's really tricky to pull that off, but Rob did, so all compliments to him."
After The Haunted Airman, Robert Pattinson’s other films were The Bad Mother’s Handbook, How To Be, Little Ashes, and of course, Twilight.
The profile also mentions Pattinson’s musical abilities. He started playing classical guitar at the age of five, two years after he began to play the piano! He also plays the trumpet and a bit of saxophone and harmonica (which can be seen in How To Be).
As we mentioned, Pattinson composed a piece of music titled "Never Think" for Twilight which will be heard in the movie as well on the soundtrack.
