'12
Here’s Robert Pattinson and David Cronenberg at the Cannes photocall for Cosmopolis. Obviously and by casting Rob as the lead in this film, Cronenberg has a lot of faith in Rob, and I think they have a sweet vibe together. In the movie, Rob plays billionaire Eric Packer and will be clad in head-to-toe Gucci, but here his look is obviously much more casual. We’ll see how he cleans up on the red carpet for tonight’s premiere. As for Cronenberg, he is such a freak. He’s paired Nike New Balance shoes with a wrinkled suit and black t-shirt. That’s probably what I’d do if I were a dude, but I’d only look like a douchebag. Here Cronenberg gets away with it but only because he’s Cronenberg.
Here’s Rob with his two leading ladies, Emily Hampshire and Sarah Gadon. They seem to get along quite well, but don’t worry, Kristen will probably on the red carpet this evening because Rob showed up for her On the Road premiere as well. Basically if she doesn’t show up, she’ll look bad.
Out of the two ladies, I prefer Emily’s dress because it’s very “Mad Men” and something that I could see Joan Holloway wearing. In fact, that might have been part of the plan with this outfit.
Sarah Gadon didn’t fare too badly either (even though her hair is a two-toned mess), and I’m very curious about the designer ID on this dress. She already wore a Jason Wu dress for her Antiviral photocall earlier this week, but I can’t put my finger on this one. (Update: It’s a Roland Mouret design.)
From the back, the zipper detail reminds me a lot of Victoria Beckham’s work, but this is clearly not a Beckham design because it’s simply not ugly and geometric enough.
Thankfully, Paul Giamatti showed up too. His role isn’t huge, but it’s a pivotal one. I wonder where Samantha Morton was — probably off somewhere being glorious on a film set.

Very redacted.
I’ve never gotten him. He looks like he his face was smushed by a skillet but this is not about his looks – he can’t help that he looks like a human tortilla – my issue here is his get up.
The undershirt showing under the shirt looks totally “redacted” If he wants to show off whatever he is showing off wear a darker shirt and open it to show his chest. He can even put on sparkly powder. Yes that was a bad Twilight joke.

when did cronenberg get so old? wow.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I wouldn’t say he looks old because, well, he *IS* old (meaning, he’s looking his age, 67, probably because he hasn’t had any work done). But he does look frail here.

he’s looking more like 77…hope he is well.

I know…I, too, can only hope he’s well.
In 2007 he still looked damn good for an older man:

Like Nina said, he must have lost weight.

it looks like he lost some weight and it’s made his face look more gaunt and old

My favorite quote from Guardian: “To be fair to Cronenberg, most people probably aren’t flattered by standing next to R-Patz..” lol. Probably true, to some extent. I hope David is well, otherwise it does not even matter how he looks – he is a legend.

Wow those two ladies (Emily Hampshire and Sarah Gadon) are WHITE. I´m sure my skin is the exact same color, but if I was doing a red carpet thing in sunny Cannes today, I would have remembered to put on some self-tanner last night. I dunno. Or is this considered chique now?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Self-tanner is full of dangerous chemicals. Mineral bronzer all over the body can be a time consuming mess.
In any case, I think it’s great for women to give the middle finger to billion dollar cosmetic companies and sport their natural skin colour – no matter what that happens to be.

They might be like me, self tanner gives me an orange hue-no matter whose product I try, so I gave up.. Rob looks cute and I love Paul Giamatti as an actor. Cronenberg is awesome, hope it’s a good movie.

Self tanner is passé. The famewhores and reality show people have killed any appeal it may once have had. Natural skin tone is in.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Agreed! I´m as white as paper too and any kind (!) of tanning product just gives me orange spots and stripes, so I don´t have any other chance than to go as pale as I am, even if it were Cannes…
Report this comment as spam or abuse
they are both very pale but it looks very lovely with their ensembles/hair.

I think their skin is GORGEOUS! I am a big believer that most people look best in what they were born into. If you are an Anne Hathaway/Evan Rachel Wood type, work it. If you are more of an Eva Mendes type, work it. Many shades of skin, and they are all beautiful as long as they aren’t abused.
I think too much tanning makes skin look leathery, and sunless tanner doesn’t look natural.

Love Cronenberg.

Dude is a genius. I kind of feel like criticism of his appearance should be off the table. He should be able to show up at Cannes in a clown suit if he wants-he’s brilliant. Dissing Cronenberg is akin to dissing Orson Welles if he were still alive today (yeah I said it). RESPECT.

Fancy hipster!David Cronenberg belongs into a parallel universe, not mine.
Stay away from American Apparel David ! The universe will collapse D:

YES! I love his early work, but it makes me happy that his last several features have taken him more into the mainstream. Not that he wasn’t popular before, but he’s less “cult” successful now, which he deserves.
A Canadian national treasure!
I have to say, I find both dresses really lovely and flattering, although the Roland Mouret (who codesigns Victoria Beckham dresses, which explains the similar loos) would be more attractive if hemmed to the knee. A hem should never cut off a woman’s legs at the widest point, even if it’s trendy at the moment. I know this because I have short, stumpy legs and this length makes my legs look about 18″ long.

He’s HOT. Seriously, there’s not much else to say. No, his face isn’t perfect, but whose is? He also has an infectious and sweet personality. I just love Rob.

Love Gadon’s dress. Cronnenberg is awesome.
Also gotta give some love to Paul Giamatti who is looking surprisngly svelt and dapper. Love him.

Rob, John Hawkes and Joaquin Pheonix have perfected, “Skewed, but sexy as all hell.”
p.s. it’s a man’s world.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
YES! But I do think Pattinson is the most “pretty” of the three you mentioned. Joaquin is sexy, not good-looking really but sexy as hell. Upon first glance, John Hawkes looks like some of the meth heads that I see on the train in the morning. However, a closer look reveals something SO gentle/sweet/endearing in his eyes and his smile. I just love him so much.

He’s never been attractive and he looks worse for wear here. He’s aging horribly.
I don’t know what women see in him.

The ladies do look like the coordinated the colors. I like both dresses.
Sparkles cleans up so nicely. Paul looks like it’s too damn earlier for this.
Cronenberg has made my day with the Spock sign.

This is shaping up to be a good year for Rob & Kristen. Could they be the new Brange for the younger generation?

Depends on their careers.
As Lainey stated, a good performance is nothing to sh-t on, so if OTR and Cosmo bomb, but their acting gets praise, all is good.

I love Paul Giamatti. He alsways looks like the next thing out of his mouth will be a snarky wisecrack.
Sarah Gadon is a beautiful girl. I like her dress, interested to know who the designer is. Perhaps Canadian?
Cronenberg seems like such an interesting guy. I bet he’d be a blast to talk to. Love his Spock signal.
Robert looks really good. He sure does clean up well.

Good question..did that happen yet?

Point 1 – I love Paul to death…one of my faves was his role in the Negotiator with SLJ and Spacey.
Point 2 – I love Emily Hampshire’s entire look from her hair to her shoes…she is definately style on the red carpet!
Point 3 – Sarah Gadon is a mess…the hair,the dress, the lack of hose (did you see all those nicks and bruises on the back of her legs). To me it’s all just skanky!
Point 4 – Have never seen a Rob Pattison movie and have no plans too. I will say, he photos the best (and KStew too) of the “I have just done several bong hits where are the Dorito’s man” look celeb’s have to offer.

Sarah’s dress is Roland Mouret (who dressed her in the film). He’s also the designer Victoria Beckham has been accused of copying hence the similarities.

Rob looks good, him and Kristen have been getting great reviews, the first steps to move away from TW.
Kristen will probably be on the carpet, he showed up to hers, now it’s her turn, the kissing video is adorable, I wish this couple the best

I like Rpatz and think he is a good looking guy, but he looks a little off to me…It’s like the older and skinnier he gets, the more his face thins out and looks strangely flat…I think he would look better with another ten pounds on him…I remember there was some pap photos of him surfing and the tabloids were all like “he gained weight” but I thought he looked way hotter and more masculine in those photos.

DC is starting to look like Christopher Walken! He’s so crazy, Ringers is amazing as is Videodrome, but they are sick, sick movies, lol.
Robert looks great. Remember that by Rob’s age, Leo D. had lost all his hotness. So Rob’s holding up well if you ask me.

He literally does nothing for me…like nothing whatsoever, he’s a blank space. Anyway the reviews on this one are decidedly mixed and definitely more negative than the also mixed On the Road. So I thought for fun I would write next week’s Star magazine cover story:
SPLIT! Rob and Kristen torn apart as she outshines him!!!
