The 32-year-old actor and former ‘Twilight’ star opened up at the premiere of his new film about Kristen Stewart.<\/b>
\nRobert Pattinson like you\u2019ve never seen him before!
The 32-year-old actor has made a name for playing sullen and dark characters, but in his new Western (with a twist), Damsel, he\u2019s taking on comedy. \u201cIt was really fun. I really wanted to do one for ages,\u201d Pattinson told ET\u2019s Katie Krause at the Hollywood premiere of the film on Wednesday. \u201cI mean, I’ve played a lot of serious psychopaths so I thought I’d play a funny psychopath. \u201d The film turns the Western archetype on its head thanks to Pattinson\u2019s co-star Mia Wasikowska\u2019s character Penelope.
\u201cIt seemed kind of subversive. Most Westerns, the archetype lead cowboy is someone who’s sort of, they can handle anything and it\u2019s them against the world and they come to save the damsel but pretty much every single male character in this movie is completely inept,\u201d Pattinson explained. \u201cThey think they\u2019re trying to save the damsel but actually they\u2019re incapable of anything at all. They\u2019re incapable of saving themselves.\u201d
Pattinson himself has worked with many strong boss ladies in his lengthy career, and named a few for ET.
\u201c Oh tons! I mean, I’ve worked with some real power houses. Definitely Mia is one of them, obviously. Kristin Scott Thomas, Uma Thurman,\u201d he said.
But what about his Twilight co-star and ex, Kristin Stewart?
\u201cKristen Stewart, Kristen too! Kristen Stewart as well, yeah, yeah,\u201d he insisted. \u201cCatherine Hardwicke, too. She’s great.\u201d Earlier this month, Pattinson and Stewart reunited at Lily-Rose Depp\u2019s 19 th birthday party at the Chateau Marmont. It\u2019s been almost 10 years since the film version of Twilight was released, so what would R. Patz say to his younger self for his first day on set?
\u201cI don’t know, just have fun!\u201d he said. \u201cThe whole ride’s been really great. I’ve just been incredibly lucky in my career and my life. I’m really appreciative of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
