I’m quick to land on Pattinson with both feet when he screws up, but never let it be said that I’m not equal opportunity, either. Apparently, the Twilight saga star swung by Cannes to catch some movies, including upcoming Tarantino war flick Inglourious Basterds, while he was wrapping up the Italian round of shooting for New Moon. He even managed to get some quotes out about how amazed he is by his own celebrity and how much new security had to be added on at the New Moon set just because of him. Dig the word:
“It is still strange,” Pattinson said Tuesday. “I just don’t get the immediate-recognition thing. I was at the Frankfurt airport yesterday, and people just immediately know who you are. It’s never, ‘Are you …?’ It’s just like, ‘Can I have a photo?’”
Then on the point of security, he added:
“They had tons of security, but then at the end of the day actually, hardly anyone knew where we were shooting,” Pattinson said. “I’m walking around with, like, three guys following me around all the time, and no one ever turned up. There was never any infiltrators.”
Well, good for you, buddy–though you may want to stop and consider that some of that might be the Taylor Lautner effect you were so concerned about earlier. Just as a possibility, you know.
