Oh my Lord. Robert “Sparkles” Pattinson is the cover boy for the March issue of Details Magazine, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this boy. He’s so… lovely. And delightfully weird. The photo shoot is wack (full slideshow here, including NSFW images), obviously, as they made Sparkles pose with naked women, after which he claimed - in a line that will probably make his epitaph - “I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina.” He’s actually talking about how he hates just being around random naked women all day, so my guess is that he’s allergic to “unfamiliar vaginas”.
Other highlights for me included a nice little interlude where the female interviewer noted that she had met Sparkles previously, and that he “remembered my beverage of choice” and had already ordered her a Diet Coke. I know I have really low standards, but I think pre-ordering a Diet Coke for your interviewer is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard. Sparkles also joked with the reporter about an “insane S & M body-harness contraption that allows you to dress up like a horse and have a long tail” that the interviewer had seen in at a local London sex shop. Pattinson jokes: “That’s so English. I want to do this entire interview wearing it, from an equine point of view. Seriously. As an experiment in public perceptions. Is the place still open?” The full interview is here, and here are the highlights:
Pattinson on “control”: “When I was 17 until, I don’t know, 20, I had this massive, baseless confidence. This very clear idea of myself and how I would achieve success, which involved making decisions. I saw myself picking up the phone and saying ‘Absolutely not’ or ‘Definitely yes.’ Having control. Except you have to figure out whether the way you think at 19 or 20 has any value. And eventually I understood, with all that control, which was probably illusory, I wasn’t progressing. So now I’m relinquishing a bit. I’ll be a tiny bit naked. Except tonight I won’t, because it’s fucking freezing and my balls will shrivel up. Seriously, you eventually realize you can’t make every single decision. I was always building, always protecting something. At the same time, I seemed to be losing the ability to move. I’d protected myself into checkmate. Even mentally. I can barely remember the last two years. Not like a haze of partying or anything like that. Just . . . it’s been crazy.”
On the Twihards: “I find it really funny—if I got shot, I would literally be in hysterics. I would be like, ‘Are you serious? Jesus Christ, get Zac Efron! He’s got more social relevance than I do.’”
On food: “I eat so much, I’m like a compulsive eater. I’ve been eating room service, and I’m always really worried about it, so I choose like six things on the menu and eat them all.”
On wanting to be a political speech writer: “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. I quite enjoyed doing press for the first Twilight, because there was a similarity. But after a bit I was ladling it out. 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.”
On always wanting more: “Please don’t make this about me complaining. Please. I’m the luckiest bastard on the planet. 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? 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. As an actor, you can elevate the human condition or cheapen it. I would assume it’s the same with anything you do—you try to elevate and maybe someday you will.”
On doing a photo shoot with naked women: “I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina. But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn’t exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover.”
More on the naked women and what his mum might think: “Oh, God.” He puts his head in his hands, shrugs. “Well, she quite enjoyed when I got her cable.” It’s not that Rob’s mother now spends all night watching Skinemax in her London home. “No, no! God, no! It’s just that there’s nakedness all over the place now. But this shoot, it’s kind of eighties nakedness, you know? If you look at porn in, like, the eighties, there was something kind of quaint about it, quite sweet—like this little naked community. The people who made it liked it, they had respect for it. Not remotely like the porn that’s available now. No community in it at all. It’s just everything, everywhere.”
On his role as Tyler in Remember Me: “Tyler is so aware of his actions. But he has no idea whether they’re of any value at all. Can you be a person if you live in the bubble? He’s stuck in the middle. At the same time, he’s lucky to have the choice. Conflict is innate in a lucky person. I’m a lucky person. Thank God. And I’m conflicted. Thank God.”
Sparkles meets some lovely elephants: “Did you know elephants purr? It’s completely scary if you don’t know what it is. They purr like cats, but their heads are so deep they sound like velociraptors. You feel it in the ground under your feet. So this big female started sniffing my foot—big female elephant, that is. She sniffed it so hard it came up off the pavement like her trunk was a vacuum cleaner. Then she took my entire body in her mouth. I was holding on to her head, and as I slowly let go she tightened her grip really carefully until I’m just upside down in her mouth and she’s going through my pockets with her trunk, looking for peppermints. It was the best day of my life. Yeah. So beautiful you can’t imagine. And the baby elephant was so excited that it sprinted out and did its routine in five seconds and then curtsied to everybody. It was actually laughing. Brilliant. Did you know they can also do imitations of other animals? A horse, a chicken, a monkey—these elephants could, anyway. They were movie elephants. One had written a screenplay, and one really wants to direct.”

When I first read the disembodied “I’m allergic to vaginas” quote, my first thought was “uh oh, Sparkles is pulling a John Mayer.” But he’s really not. Sparkles is actually funny. And he’s not a racist, closet-case, misogynistic psychopath like John Mayer. For Sparkles, I think he was trying to joke about one particular instance when he was forced to spend a whole day being photographed with naked women, which, honestly, would make me allergic to vaginas too.

i still don’t get whats so attractive in him to me hes just a gu in fact more girlish than a real man
-
He is a cutie! Good interview. Sounds like a nice intelligent bloke with his feet on the ground. Long may it continue and he doesnt end up warped like so many of these young starlets.
-
his face is ridiculously beautiful.
it seems like his handlers are actually allowing him to have a personality in his interviews which is nice.
-
“Well, she quite enjoyed when I got her cable.”
BAHAHAHA. I love this guy.
-
One word: Lovely.
I’m love it that he has no sense for censoring himself.
Which male actor would dare to say those thing?
I guess it also has something to do with being English. Theya aren’t so uptight and worried what others think.And thank God he has no PR team.
Another thing that I got from this is how eloquent and intelligent he is.
The funniest part is his dream to be political speach writer. Imagine him with these kind of quotes writing for British Prime Minister.
Those press conferences wouldn’t be boring any more.
-
lovely is right.
he sounds so…mature…like he’s one of those people that we call “timeless souls”.
he also seems to TOTALLY appreciate how lucky he is to be where he is. and I love that he loves his mum…that says a lot about a man.
-
He is very aware of what is happening around him and isn’t buying into his own hype.
But the best is that he knows how fortunate he is to be in that position despite a crazy fandom that limits some of his freedom.Robert isn’t whining like so many do.
-
Glad to see people giving this guy a chance.
He’s always struck me as funny and smart and conflicted (in a good way) about the craziness surrounding him.
He seems so much smarter and less pretentious than any actor his age I can think of.
-
you cannot spin ‘i hate vaginas. i’m allergic to vaginas’ as anything except exactly what he said.
-
Lo amo y si él lee a los clásicos grecolatinos lo amo todavía más porque es un hombre culto. Realmente es un caballero. No importa que sea alérgico a las vaginas.
I love him, if he read the classics even more because he is a educated man. He is a gentlenman.
-
I’m with rukidding. He shouldn’t have said that - I bet he’s cringing he lost control in that interview.
-
I adore his sense of humor and how he doesn’t buy into the hype that surrounds him. Now this is a guy that knows how to be humble and grateful for what he has.
He can thank Harry Potter and Twilight for putting him on the map, but it’s the smaller, independent films that will solidify him as an actor and not just a flavor of the month.
I just hope he stays grounded and works on building his resume with good films.
-
To those who take his words serious:
Grow a sense of humour.
He knows what he says and isn’t a manifactured Hollywood idiot that has a publicist hovering over his shoulder controlling every word he says.
-
Lucky he said the vagina stuff or people might pay more attention to this…
“What if we were ‘acting’ like ‘Negroes’? Then we’d be fucked—we couldn’t hear anything. . . .”
What’s fascinating is the spin nervous fans are attaching to it…
“It’s the context you morons don’t get. The CONTEXT”… for one.
BTW context, or WHO initiated the word “Negro” doesn’t change anything.
-
@Blitz: It IS about CONTEXT. The fact that you only reference a small part of what was actually said shows that you deliberately took it OUT OF CONTEXT! Here is what was said:
Rob, did you know that every time you say actor or acting you lower your voice to a whisper?
He’s genuinely startled. “I do?”
Yes, so quietly it’s like you’re saying Negro.
He laughs, lightens up. “What if we were ‘acting’ like ‘Negroes’? Then we’d be fucked—we couldn’t hear anything. . . .”No ’spin’ is needed as it was not an offensive comment, IMO.
-
Blitz: you refuse to give the entire context.
He’s interviewed by an Africa-American woman Jenny Lumet. Google her if you don’t believe or ignore to acknowledge.
SHE brought up the word Negro.
Here is the entire quote:
————————————Jenny:Rob, did you know that every time you say actor or acting you lower your voice to a whisper?
He’s genuinely startled.Robert: “I do?”
Jenny: Yes, so quietly it’s like you’re saying Negro.
He laughs, lightens up.Robert: “What if we were ‘acting’ like ‘Negroes’? Then we’d be fucked—we couldn’t hear anything. . . .”
————————————–
She compares his uneasiness with the word “actor” as other feel with the word “Negro” and how people speak that word so quiet that you can barely hear it.
He says then if they said both words together you wouldn’t hear anything.It’s so pathetic that people try everything to turn this against him simply because they lack comprehension skills or use this as an opportunity to discredit him just because they dislike him.
-
Sad to say.. he’s winning me over. I’ve wanted to dislike him simply because he plays Edward and Edward is a douche, but wow, dude is funny and smart! And… I’m going to have to grudgingly say… he’s kind of cute, too. Not as cute as Lautner, but he’s got a little something. If he would shave off the facial fuzz, that is. >___<
-
I hate Twilight with a passion, and will mock to anyone who’ll listen… But I like the two leads. I like Stewart’s constant “fuck off, dude, I’m stoned” attitude, and I like Sparkles’ sense of humour.
-
He is a lot better looking than Taylor lautner lol
-
That might be more convincing if he had said “negro actors” instead of “… acting like Negroes.”
-
I’ve really grown to love him. I hope he actually ends up having talent, because I’m curious to see more from him. And if he’s this clever at 23, I want to see him interviewed at 35.
-
i never liked him - however he is slowely starting to grow on me. I actually read an entire Rob Pattinson thread - my word!
-
Your not in his mind, so all of you sayin “Oh this is what he meant to say” are just insane. He clearly said and I read it twice that he hate’s vaginas. won’t go into the racial slur he used, don’t care if an eskimo or a half black person interviewed him. It ain’t right.
-
Vansky: You are reading what you want and you’re ignorant as a bigot.
-
These accusations remind me of Phillip Roth’s “The Human Stain”. False Political Correctness covering awful defamation.
-
Vansky, no one is pretending to be in his mind but YOU. He is, IN ACTUALITY, talking about a photoshoot. He SAYS he’s talking about the photoshoot. No one has to look for deeper meaning to defend the comment. The comment isn’t even worth defending. IT WAS A JOKE.
-
He looks better as Edward. Otherwise he is average to me.
-
He’s okay looking. But I can never envision him with a female in “that way” He looks and acts asexual.
-
SO CLEVER; AFTER SMELLING NUDE WOMEN FOR 12 HOURS, ONE WOULD BE TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!

I understand him, I studied Arts and for five years had to see, watch, observe and draw naked models and I ended up hating naked men.
Thanks Lord it´s been a while and know I appreciate them again XDD
