Robert Pattinson Covers The October Issue Of W Magazine

Robert Pattinson is on the cover of the October issue of W magazine. The young actor joins Hailee Steinfeld and Tracee Ellis Ross on the magazine’s multiple cover issue. Highlights from his interview are below.

On the first role he auditioned for: “I was working backstage at this place called Barnes Theater Company which was like a drama club at a church hall. And I auditioned for Guys and Dolls. I auditioned for Nathan Detroit and got the part of a Cuban dancer. With no lines. But that was my first-ever part, dancing with a rose in my teeth.”

On playing Edward Cullen in Twilight: “It was really fun, yeah. It was such a wild experience. And what a strange way to spend my early twenties. I never really quite knew how to play a vampire though. I mean, if it hadn’t been so successful, I think people would have thought it was really weird. It’s a really weird story. But I think once it becomes mainstream, it’s difficult for people to see how strange the story is.”

On a secret talent: “I can open a beer bottle with pretty much any object. I can open it with a teabag. I can do it with a dollar bill.”
