As a casual observer, you would be forgiven for thinking that Robert Pattinson has deliberately chosen challenging roles to dissociate himself from his teen-friendly origins.
Despite a string of appearances in more adult roles during and after his ‘Twilight’ days, Pattinson says his career choices are not part of a grand scheme to shake off his teen fans, regardless of the way it looks.
“I genuinely choose [my roles], because that’s the only jobs I get [offered],” explains Pattinson in our interview for his new film ‘The Rover’ above.
In it he plays Rey, a mentally challenged drifter who gets kidnapped by Guy Pearce’s character in the Australian outback. It’s a long way from his role as Edward Cullen, the lovestruck vampire in the all-conquering ‘Twilight’ movies.
“Pretty much, the jobs I did after ‘Twilight’ are just the jobs I got offered,” he reiterates.
“I just happened to get outré jobs.”
