French Magazine Télepoche Magazine has Robert Pattinson as their coverboy in their latest issue. In this issue, Robert talked about making it in Hollywood, the comparisons he has been getting, the pressure of fame and many more.

Here is the translation of the article inside:

“Robert Pat­tin­son: For the past three years I’ve heard crazy things about you”

Exclu­sive inter­view with Franck Ragaine in Los Angeles

It’s in Bev­erly Hills that a short haired, relaxed, smil­ing and some­times amused Robert Pat­tin­son met with us to speak about Eclipse, the third install­ment in the Twi­light Saga, where he again takes the role that made him a star.

Since the begin­ning you’ve been com­pared to James Dean, does that flat­ter you?

I don’t know… In fact I’ve decided to take it as a com­pli­ment. But I know that I can never take the place of a James Dean. Fur­ther­more the world of movies have changed so much, peo­ple like James Dean and Mar­lon Brando don’t exist any­more. At the time their name alone allowed them to have con­trol on a movie. Today that’s not the case!

Aren’t you scared that you’ll be Edward forever?

If I under­stand cor­rectly I’ll always be com­pared to some­one else. In fact I’ve real­ized that the quote “The salary of an actor depends on the suc­cess of his last movie” is quite true.

Does the fact that you’re pigeon­holed into the skin of this char­ac­ter scare you?

This com­par­i­son seems to decrease as the films go. Fans don’t see me like that anymore. Contrarily to the first movie they can dif­fer­en­ti­ate my char­ac­ter and me. At the start when I did pub­lic appear­ances, for them I was Edward 100%. I could read it in their eyes. Many lacked con­trol which scared me. Every­thing has changed and now when I do inter­views I am as hon­est and sin­cere as pos­si­ble. I’m not Edward and I make sure it shows.

Besides every­thing else you play with medias, like when you recently said that Kris­ten Stew­art (his part­ner in Twi­light) was pregnant.…

The only times I answer like that is to avoid manip­u­la­tion that medias can some­times do. If I don’t reply seri­ously, they can’t attack me seri­ously either. It’s a tactic!

In three years you must have read and heard every­thing about yourself?

Incred­i­ble things! I’d have slept with so many peo­ple and made so many girls preg­nant… But after a while, the pub­lic doesn’t believe what’s said any­more and they tell them­selves that it’s not real. Thankfully!

Do you read fan mail?

Some­times. I think that cer­tain let­ters don’t get to me. I’m sur­prised I haven’t received death threats (smiles).

What is the most inde­cent pro­posal you’ve received from a fan?

I will keep that a secret as it was so inde­cent I doubt she was in her nor­mal state of mind when she made it.

The fun­ni­est experience?

It was recently. It hap­pened while I was film­ing “Water for Ele­phants in which my part­ner is Reese With­er­spoon. We had a scene with ele­phants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scar­ing the ani­mals and it was impos­si­ble to film. Out of the blue, fans, that were wait­ing for auto­graphs, had enough and cir­cled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.

In Eclipse you play Edward for the third time. Do you fear you’ll repeat yourself?

The more I become famil­iar with the role, the more I try to do new things and take risks. You can’t be scared to go on unknown areas. The prob­lem with Edward is that he doesn’t age, there­fore it doesn’t make the task easy. Because for a human being grow­ing older brings on many possibilities.

But the rela­tion­ship between him and Bella changed in this third installment?

Dur­ing the first two movies, his only worry was if he wanted to make a life with her. Now that he’s made the deci­sion to marry her, there­fore accept­ing a life in a more human form, it changes every­thing. He must face the world of the liv­ing more than the immor­tal one. It adds a com­plex­ity that’s inter­est­ing to play.

With the salaries you get did you do crazy things like buy the car of your dreams?

No, I don’t have a pas­sion for car, I don’t see the point in spend­ing my money on a car. Even clothes, I don’t care much, I wear the same things all the time. But I did buy myself a few guitars.
