Robert Pattinson in ‘Cosmopolis’ Photo Shoot
Robert Pattinson took part in a new interview for Industria Magazine, and part of the layout featured a new photo shoot for Cosmopolis. In the interview Rob talks about not only his role in Cosmopolis, but what it’s been like to play the (now) famous icon, Edward Cullen, in The Twilight Saga, and how all of it has changed his life.

Q: How do you cope with the attention?
A: I have never been fooled by the hysteria that surrounds me. It’s the character I play, Edward Cullen, the romantic vampire. Before the movie was even made, girls would scream at Stephenie Meyer’s public readings. Most people who are famous really like it and I can’t figure out how to like it that much. I’m not a particular horrible person so when a fan comes up to me in the street I’m nice to them but whenever you are mean people have no idea why. Not sure if that makes sense, sometimes I have no memory of what comes out my mouth.
Q: It’s ok. It did. You have The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 in October will you be relieved when it’s all over?
A: The only difficult thing about the Twilight series was that the character didn’t change. And so I didn’t really know what to do with it after a while. It works in the book, he’s much more of a canvas for the readers, which was why the first one worked so well for me. After a while people start to know you and you make other movies and you’re not a fantasy figure anymore. You’re just a guy. I don’t know how I feel about it, I’m still working on it. I just did the final reshoots a couple weeks ago. If the character could have got older and if he could have got hurt, it would be different for me. It’s beautiful as a self contained love story – where the two main protagonists will never leave each other no matter what – that’s a nice idea, but to play it? The audience already knows what’s going to happen before it happens. You don’t even have any suspension of disbelief.
