Last week we thought our lil� Twi-hearts had swelled to full capacity when word got out that Rob Pattinson adopted a stray dog and today his cover story in the April issue of Vanity Fair has knocked us flat on our Rob-lovin� rumps. In the lengthy interview, accompanied by a Water For Elephants-inspired shoot that we must say is far less loin-tingling than Bruce Weber�s 2009 spread, the ever self-deprecating Rob dishes on everything from Charlie Sheen to Cops to a Pretzel M&M addiction.
Here are a dozen quotes that made our love for Rob swerve dangerously close to obsession.
12. �She was the best actor I ever worked with in my life,� Pattinson says of Tai, his Indian-elephant co-star, who lives in Southern California, where [Water For Elephants] was mostly shot. �I cried when the elephant was wrapped,� or filmed her last scene, says Pattinson. �I never cried when anyone else was wrapped.�
11. �No one recognized me or anything,� he says [referring to Lubbock, TX]. �And I was like, Ah, this is really cool, sitting there eating chicken wings and stuff.�
10. On whether he�d delve into something completely different like Shakespeare� �If I did that now I�d get assassinated,� he says with a rueful laugh. �Everyone would just be like, What the f�?�
9. �He has that thing; he�s magnetic. He�s a real movie star. He reminds me of James Dean.� � Water for Elephants director, Francis Lawrence
8. He admits he doesn�t �do anything, ever�� meaning anything scandalous�although he confesses a certain admiration for Charlie Sheen and his �little escapades.� �I like crazy people who don�t give a f�,� he says.
7. �I get a lot of people wanting to beat me up. Men in bars and stuff. I just leave.� He shrugs.
6. �Are you asking me if I�m really a vampire?,� Pattinson says, laughing, when I join the nosy chorus, asking if his on-screen love mirrors his relationship [with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart] in real life. As I wait for an answer, Pattinson literally starts squirming. �Yes. Um. No, not really,� he says.
5. �I love Cops�I think it�s my favorite TV show. �God,� he says, laughing, �I sound like such a loser.�
4. On his eating habits� �I�m, like, a compulsive eater,� he says, by way of a revelation. �I�m going to be so fat when I�m older, it�s ridiculous.� He tells a story about wolfing down most of a 40-ounce bad of Pretzel M&M�s while reading a book of essays by David Foster Wallace. �I had a complete breakdown and literally threw them down the toilet,� he says. Keith Richards he isn�t.
3. �Kristen is very focused on being an actress,� Pattinson says, later, of Stewart. �I mean, that�s what she is�she�s an actress. Whereas I�I just don�t really know.�
2. �He can�t escape his looks any more than he can escape the attention of his fans. His face has a kind of gorgeousness one sees in the faces of children, with its perfect pale skin, red lips, large eyes. It�s hard to say it any other way: he�s beautiful.� � Vanity Fair interviewer, Nancy Jo Sales
1. Martin [his newly adopted stray dog] jumps on the couch and shuts his eyes, exhausted. Pattinson pets his head. �There, there, boy, you sleep,� he tells him.
