GossipCop: Robert Pattinson Talks About K-Stew, Shakespeare & �Two and a Half Men�

PhotobucketRobert Pattinson�s new April 2011 Vanity Fair cover story is here!

The Twilight star, who posed with an alligator around his shoulders, opens up about Kristen Stewart; what made him cry while filming Water for Elephants; how stardom messed with his head and a lot more.

�Even before I knew her, I thought she was a really good actress,� Pattinson says of Stewart.

�Like, I saw Into the Wild, and I thought she was really good in that. I still think there are very few girls in her class that are as good as she is. It�s funny that she�s the one doing this huge thing [Twilight].�

As for how he spends his downtime, Pattinson reveals, in typical self-deprecating fashion, �I�m just so boring� I never change the channel in my trailer.�

�I just watch reruns of �House of Payne� and �Two and a Half Men.� I love �Cops� � I think it�s my favorite TV show,� adds the actor. �God� I sound like such a loser.�

About the possibility of acting in a Shakespeare play, he joked, �If I did that now, I�d get assassinated. Everyone would be like, What the f**k?�

On the elephant in his upcoming film Water For Elephants, he said, �She was the best actor I ever worked with in my life. I cried when the elephant was wrapped. I never cried when anyone else was wrapped [completed shooting].�

Meanwhile, Pattinson worries about the effects of massive fame on his psyche. �I don�t know what�s wrong with me� my brain doesn�t work anymore. I haven�t any memory. I can�t write. All I can do is sign my name,� he laments.

�I tried to write the other day � it looked like I was writing in Braille.�

Fame has other odd consequences, observes Pattinson. �Like, trying to socialize with people. There�s this cautiousness about people which I just find really weird.�

�Or I�ll be walking down the street, and people�ll be like, �F**k you!�� laughs the star. �And I get a lot of people wanting to beat me up. Men in bars and stuff. I just leave.�

Pattinson is happy to have a role in Cosmopolis, which will be a major departure from his Twilight role. �That�s the thing I was worried about, that people wouldn�t take me seriously enough to do movies like that, and I just got one [referring to Cosmopolis].� The star�s other future pursuits include writing a script based on a Lillian Hellman novel.
