Interview with Robert Pattinson�s Twilight photo/stunt double Preston Johnson.

Preston Johnson, 22, had just gotten out of class in Eugene when he got the call from a casting agency: �Do you still have long hair?� they asked. A couple weeks, hair length confirmation and multiple auditions later, the University of Oregon student was kickin� it on the set of a small film called Twilight with actors Kristen Stewart (Bella), Robert Pattinson (Edward) and the rest of the vampy gang�paid around $150 a day to pile on pale make-up and fight off crazed fans and TwilightMoms as Pattinson�s photo/stunt double on the film�s Oregon set.





So you still talk to Robert?



He changed his phone number, but I can�t blame him for that. We talked for a little bit. I have Kristen�s number. I called her last month to say hi. But they have busy lives.



Is Kristen Stewart as big of a bitch as she seems?



The first week, it was kind of awkward. I felt like I had gotten to know her a little. But we were sitting together at lunch one day, just talking, and I said �Hey Kristen, how is filming going?� She blew up at me. �Preston! Don�t ask me how filming is going! I hate when people ask me that!� I got upset. Like, �oh sorry you�re the f*****g star of the movie Kristen, my bad for asking you how it was going.�



Do you think that they�re dating?



No, I don�t think so. There was no chemistry on set. Robert� I just don�t think Kristen is his type of style. He�s a really shy kid. I think he�s only had one girlfriend ever.



Did you work on New Moon at all?



No, unfortunately I did not work on New Moon, mainly because everyone besides the main cast members were new�including the director. Catherine [Hardwicke] decided not to work on the series again so everyone who wasn�t an immediate cast member was dropped. Another reason was that New Moon was shot in Canada and it would of cost them a substantial amount of money to fly me there and pay for everything. However, I did receive an e-mail from my agency saying that the fourth movie will be shot here in Portland and that I will still be considered for the part.



Any movie plans in the future?




Right now I�m really focused on finishing school, which if I�m lucky should be at the end of this summer. In my spare time I really enjoy playing ice hockey and snowboarding. Ice hockey is a huge part of my life, my grandpa was a pro hockey player and played for many different teams, including the Portland Buckaroos. After school, I�m planning on devoting some time on my acting career. Acting has always been a passion of mine from the time I was 10-years old. I think because of my sense of humor and goofy personality, acting has always seemed to just fit in with my way of life. I really feel like this is what I was meant to do.

Do you ever still get stopped on the street or mistaken for Robert Pattinson?



I have gotten stopped a few times. Actually, when I went and saw New Moon last week I got stopped. I thought I was going to disappoint them. You know, �oh, actually I�m not Robert, I�m just his photo double.� But they freaked out when I told them! They were so excited. Teenage girls are crazy
