Jenny knew Rob since before "Twilight" even hit theaters, and it was in January when she reunited with the actor she first met during rewrites of "Remember Me" to work on this article for Details. They seem to have a fairly close relationship, considering she threw casually into conversation the fact she found a sex shop nearby that had an " insane S&M body-harness contraption" that "allows you to dress up like a horse and have a long tail."
Rob's response? "'That's so English. I want to do this entire interview wearing it, from an equine point of view,' he says, stomping the sidewalk with make-believe hooves. 'Seriously. As an experiment in public perceptions.'" We wish.
But Rob just didn't open up about his preference for interview attire. He shared with Jenny some of his concerns with what the responsibility of being an actor are.
"If it exists out there—this invisible-creative-spirit-idea thing—then you're the medium through which it travels so everybody can touch it. But . . . what gives you the right to be the medium?" he asked. "What gives you the right to claim it? And then get an agent and say I want $20 million and a fruit basket to be the medium, thank you very much."
He talked about how his perception on speaking to the press changed during his time doing work on "Twilight," comparing it initially to political speech writing. "It's fascinating. You'd have two or three minutes to affect someone. Make them hear you. Get the message out and maybe it will echo," Rob said.
"I quite enjoyed doing press for the first 'Twilight,' because there was a similarity. But after a bit I was ladling it out," he added. "If you want people to listen to you, you'd better have something to say. I felt a responsibility to be fascinating. You're bargaining with the audience. Is this enough for them? And that affects the way you look at art."
Despite the range of topics covered in the article — from maim-inducing tropical diseases to elephants stealing peppermints, from fan's lurking in restaurants to having his kiss auctioned off for $60,000 — Rob was clear to make the point that he knew how fortunate he was.
"Please don't make this about me complaining," Rob begged Jenny about the context of the article. "Please. I'm the luckiest bastard on the planet."
WOW
there's more to the article
than Vagina.
Who knew? (sarcasm)
Not by what the Media put out,
or dwelled on,
criticized,
bitch-slapped,
well, you know where I'm headed
with this one...
My boy has substance,
but you wouldn't know it
with all the Phobic fucks,
that use
and abuse
and take out of context.
