If you look closely at images of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart out and about together � at the airport,at a club, even that infamous, blurry, smooching shot � you�ll find a third person popping up.
But Tom Sturridge is no third wheel. The 25-year-old London native may be Pattinson�s best friend, but he�s an actor in his own right, and he�s ready to prove it with the new indie drama �Waiting for Forever� and an upcoming turn opposite Stewart in the much-buzzed-about adaptation of �On the Road.�
Following gigs in �Being Julia� and �Pirate Radio,� �Forever� finds Sturridge as Will, a pajama-wearing juggler who follows his childhood best friend, Emma (Rachel Bilson), as she moves around the country without her knowing.
Chatting with NextMovie, the actor has some awesomely kind words for the likes of Bilson, Stewart and future Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield.
Some might call Will a stalker � how would you describe him?He�s someone who had witnessed his parent�s death � quite a traumatic experience � in his childhood which punctured his emotional development. I see him as a child following someone around; he follows someone around as a child would as opposed to the malevolence of a stalker� I think you stop being a stalker the moment you engage with the person you�re following, and the fact that they communicate changes things.
Speaking of your gorgeous co-stars, how has working with Kristen Stewart on the set of �On the Road� been?It was so terrifying entering into that world and what was great was just having someone that I knew and actually working with her. She�s just a f**king extraordinary actress, just really, really extraordinary and it�s astonishing just to see her do her job.
And how was shooting otherwise?It was genuinely, one of the deepest working experiences I�ve ever had. It was extraordinary.
What was so extraordinary about it?Well, firstly to be a part of that group to take on the filming of that novel � just to be a part of it is pretty f**king incredible in itself. And working with Walter Salles, who I think is one of the greatest directors alive, and then working with these actors who, to me, are the best actors working today and together trying to do justice to what is such a phenomenal novel. It was kind of amazing, and we were shooting for six months, we rehearsed for a month. It was such a massive part of my life.
