Robert Pattinson and Edward Cullen are two different identities. Yeah, he’s playing – and will still play in the succeeding Twilight Films – the role of Edward but he is never HIM. I feel sorry for him because he’s been followed by some crazy paparazzi haunting – yes, haunting – him even in his free time. Wow, being an actor of a ‘perfect’ character must be really hard.

Wikipedia says:

Robert Thomas-Pattinson (born 13 May 1986) is an English actor, model and
musician, best known for playing Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of
Twilight, based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer, and Cedric Diggory in Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Pattinson was born in London, England. His mother, Clare, worked for a
modeling agency, and his father, Richard, imported vintage cars from the U.S. He
became involved in amateur theatre through the Barnes Theatre Company. After
some backstage experience there, he took on acting roles. He caught the
attention of an acting agent in a production of Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and
began looking for professional roles. Since then he has performed in an amateur
version of Macbeth at the Old Sorting Office Arts Centre, as well as trying his
hand at modeling.

I like Rob Pattinson. Men with flaws are cooler, I think. And real.

That’s my personal opinion, by the way.
