A little bit of James Dean is alive and well in Robert Pattinson. Drawing on James Dean outcast character in Rebel Without a Cause, Robert says that "it influenced the hairdo and stuff. In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump."
In his interview with USA Weekend, Pattinson said that he's still adjusting to he movie star and heartthrob status. "I'm not entirely sure what it is," he says. "I'll probably realize afterward how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights."
Certain fans can't seem to forget that he's not actually Edward Cullen. "Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward," he says. "I don't really mind either way. There's something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people."
"If you want to compete with your own character, you have to really fight. I don't know if I could be bothered to fight," he says, chuckling again. "I just let it go by."
I think his post-Twilight roles will bring Robert a whole new legion of fans.
