Robert Pattinson almost attacked a paparazzo (with sparkly rage)

These are some new photos of Robert Pattinson arriving in Toronto to do some reshoots on his David Cronenberg film, Cosmopolis. He’s working a grungy beard, which he’ll likely have to shave (he’s clean-shaven in the Cronenberg film). Apparently, before he got on Canadian soul, Sparkles was full of rage! Shocking, I know. He’s the least rage-filled actor I can think of. Apparently, he almost punched out a paparazzo:

Robert Pattinson is having a no good very bad day! The 25-year-old actor was photographed coming out of a meeting at the International Creative Management Talent Agency in LA on Sept. 26 and he got so upset that he balled up his fist and starting advancing towards an X17 photographer. But luckily a friend of Rob’s calmed him down before he made a huge mistake!

“Rob already seemed to be in a bad mood as he was leaving ICM and when he saw me, he just snapped,” the photographer tells X17. “I was just standing there, taking his picture, not saying anything, not getting too close and he just went off. He clenched his fist and got ready to hit me, but his friend told him to stop and calmed him down.”

Wow! We’re shocked that Rob would get so upset. Isn’t Rob used to be followed around constantly by now? There must be something more to Rob’s blowup. Perhaps a bad meeting … or just missing Kristen Stewart?

Poor Sparkles. I know he gets it worse than Kristen Stewart, and maybe he’s just found his breaking point. Or maybe that one photographer was just a major a–hole.

In other sparkly news, Us Weekly has put out a special issue, all about Breaking Dawn. You can read all of the Twihard goodness here, but here are some nice quotes from Sparkles:

Sparkles on being nervous: “Embarrassingly, the thing I was most nervous about was taking my shirt off.”

Pattinson has said of his final scenes with Stewart: “It was amazing finishing out in the Caribbean… It was like, ‘Why couldn’t we have been shooting in the Caribbean the whole time? I would have done another five!'”

The baby: “We had an animatronic baby,” Pattinson says. “It was like Chucky from Child’s Play!”

Sparkles’ top confidant when choosing new projects? “My dad” — who, he notes, “compares every single script to Jaws and Superman.”

Sparkles’ biggest weakness? Pretzel M&M’s. “I go through bags and bags of those a week.”

On cooking: “I can’t cook … I only just manage to make some toast”

I find pretzel M&Ms gross, but I’m all about the peanut butter M&Ms. Those are like crack to me when I get a craving for them. Mm… I could go for some right now. Anyway, whatever, Sparkles loves the beach and candy and he can’t cook and he doesn’t like to take his shirt off. He’s kind of lovely and sweet.

    OK, is it just me, or does he look like his might be in phase one of pot belly growth? We’re always so hard on women, so I don’t feel bad bringing it up…

    Love him. There was a funny quote about him on Glee last week…a singing teenage boy briefly mentioned “My future husband Robert Pattinson” in passing to one of the Gleeks.

  3. Praise St. Angie! says:

    his dad compares every script to Jaws and Superman?!

    I love Pattinson, and now I think I love his dad, too.

    Pattinson interviews are always so enjoyable. His looks are quite enjoyable as well. 🙂

    I wouldn’t fault him if he did get mad and finally punched one of the paps. They harass the crap out of the poor guy.

    I LOVE Peanut M&M’s. And we have jars full of them in our front office. *heads that way*

    did he get an implant on the end of his nose? its always been very stubby…and now, its well, not?

    He just seems so sweet and likeable. He was good as the male ingenue in Water for Elephants- it’s great that he’s going to be working with David Cronenberg! I’m hoping Cronenberg will draw a great performance out of him-his track record as a director is amazing, and Pattinson definitely has the raw materials to be a decent actor.
