Robert Pattinson says one of his biggest acting influences is screen legend James Dean. James Dean was one of the most influential people on young guys especially actors. Most definitely in the last fifty years.
Robert’s latest movie Remember Me opens today while the Twilight saga star found himself still in vampire mode while filming the drama. Robert also said he would like to make more adult type movies.
According to sources Robert read the Remember Me script and liked it but he had no idea that they would choose him to play in the movie. There was something different about it. It didn’t fit into a typical teen movie, and it seemed quite realistic. For as long as he can remember he always wanted to be like the people on television the actors and what they did on the set. Knowing that it was acting and not real made the difference to him.
Robert also admitted that his own teens were troubled at one point. A lot of people beat him up when he was younger and he claims he usually provoked it in some way. Being in the movie Twilight allowed him to release aggression and his idol James Dean would be proud he hoped.
Now he knows how to act and when not to act, there was a time when he really couldn’t tell the difference in his teenage years because of the trouble. Like any other teen he had a lot going on and there were times when he just wanted to grow up, but adolescence wouldn’t let him. In some ways he supposes he had to wait his turn.
