Talk:Robert Pattinson

Middle name

According to IMDb and numerous fansites, his middle name is Thomas. Are these sources not reputable enough? Starcross 02:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Fan sites? - definitely not: they are not authoritative, nor traceable as a reference, and contain mountains of rumours and gossip. The IMDb? - perhaps! Got a link to it as reference to provide proof? Better yet, how about if his middle is mentioned and affirmed at his official web site? If so then probably yes; and you may re-post his middle name in the article, after providing a link to an official web page somewhere here, as an authoritative reference, so other editors can check your claims. Thanks! --T-dot 03:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

These sources are correct. They have specific information on the famous people. You should trust these resources.

Thank you for the help! Here's the link to the IMDb reference, which gives his birth name as "Robert Thomas Pattinson." I don't think he has an official website though. Starcross 19:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

No, i don't believe they are reliable enough. The IMDb is user-updated (much like Wikipedia), so whoever added that info to IMDb, probably read it on a fansite. This article mentions that he was credited as a model as Robert Thomas-Pattinson (for which a scan is provided). i think that's good enough for now. Amo 02:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

So which are they: reliable or not? Starcross 21:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, this discussion is so old i'm not sure exactly what you mean. But i feel that the scan is n appropriate source to show that he has been credited as Robert Thomas-Pattinson, so it's linked. It's kind of important to include ppl's aliases. Amo 12:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I mean that is the IMDb a reliable source or not? :) Starcross 13:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Not really, especially not for stuff like this, which obviously hasn't been added by an agent or production company, or been taken from the credits in a film. Amo 10:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, the IMDb is not a reliable website.

To find information go to his official website.(He does have one) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gustav1993 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

does he have an official site? does anyone have a link?Amo 21:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

When he did they love scene in little ashes was it for real?

Well, he does have a profile on the Harry Potter website. There's a website called: www.robertpattinson.org, although I think that's a fan site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gustav1993 (talk • contribs) 20:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC).

That is a fan site, and the harry potter website doesn't list his full name does it? Amo 20:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I have found from other sources (which is acctually from Robert Pattinson himself) that Thomas is his middle name. - 17:23, 2 Feb 2009

The Coterie

Is this really true? it seems kind of unlikely to me... Does anyone have an online source? Amo 18:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter?

How can Robert be in The Order of the Phoenix when his character is dead? He also is not credited in IMDb as acting in the movie. Could someone look into this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.206.223.34 (talk) 02:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

He might be in a flashback.

Yes, the article already notes that it's a "Flashback sequence only (archive footage)". Amo 02:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

He appears at the beginning of Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix in a flashback sequence.

I do believe he features at the beginning during a dream Harry has of Cedric's death. yes that ais corect. harry often has flash backs of dead people —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.165.70 (talk) 07:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

well its a movie really anything can happen and remeber a kid would not care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.204.145 (talk) 02:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Pictures, please!

Could someone add some pictures? It would be a much more interesting article if there were pictures.

I would add them myself but I don't own any pics. Princess Rebel (talk) 04:41, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I know someone who paid for paparazzi shots of Robert at an event, if I asked her to put them up on here would those be acceptable under wikipedia's guidelines?

How To Be

I've reinstated How To Be into his biography section after Amoammo removed it. His/her reasons were that "it is not forthcoming and it is already in the credits section". The first of these is incorrect, as demonstrated by ongoing film festival appearances, which are the precursor to general release in independent film. The second reason, that it is already in the credits section, is irrelevant. All the other films discussed in the biography section are already in the credits section too. Caek (talk) 13:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I note you've reverted my changes. I've reverted for the time being. How To Be is forthcoming. It's currently showing at film festivals and will be released in cinemas and on DVD. This is "forthcoming" in the world of film. However, if your problem is with the use of the word "forthcoming" then feel free to remove it. Please also remove it for Little Ashes, which similarly doesn't have a release date, and for the short film, which will not be released. Caek (talk) 23:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Singer

If he becomes too famous, he is going back to London to enjoy a singing career. also he is singing Bella's lullby and doing 4 songs on the cd for twilight. cd coming out on nov.2 2008. In his spare time he sings Broke, I'll be your lover too, and Stray dog...... you can only see and hear it on youube. unfortunatley. go spunk! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.11.197.118 (talk) 22:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

He didnt do Bellas Lullabye on the Twilight CD. However, he did do Never Think. He sang it and played it.

There needs to be a bit about his music in this article. He has several songs available on the internet and I think he'll be going further with it now that he has a fan base (albeit almost entirely made up of Twilight fangirls sadly...). He's actually very talented. ~

Can someone clean up the singing career part? If you look on the Twilight Soundtrack, he didn't write "Let Me Sign" he only performed it; it was actually written by Marcus Foster and Bobby Long. Also, he only co-wrote "Never Think" he was helped out by Sam Bradley on that one. Lastly, he does sing and perform but the only song available on the internet that he actually wrote himself is "Stray Dog," "I Was Broken" was written by Marcus Foster, "I'll Be Your Lover, Too" is a cover he performed of a Van Morrison song, and I've already clarified the others. If you would like to listen to the music, you can find a great streaming media player at www.robert-pattinson.co.uk/music. Thanks!! - Kristina —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.22.148.130 (talk) 23:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

You're right about the soundtrack songs; I'll fix it up. I don't think we should add the specific songs that he performs in pubs though, as (like you said) they're usually songs that he didn't write himself. Andrea (talk) 00:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

And done. Andrea (talk) 01:19, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you! The Music section looks wonderful and is very accurate! - Kristina —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.22.148.130 (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for bringing it up! :) Andrea (talk) 00:35, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Songs

Songs on youtube.com with Pattinson singing ...

• "Let Me Sign"
• "Let Me Sign" w/ Lyrics
• "I Was Broken"
• "Bella's Lullaby"
• "Never Think"

Should there be a song section in main article that lists these ? 'and he will sing to the people', AO 69.121.221.97 (talk) 06:41, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

redirect cleanup

Since the article is locked and I don't feel like creating an account, I just wanted to suggest a cleanup edit. There is currently no article for Cedric Diggory, so the link should be changed to a piped link, directing to Supporting Harry Potter characters#Cedric Diggory. - 68.146.190.58 (talk) 03:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

He also wrote and sang let me sing in the Twilight movie, played during the ballet studio scene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.125.69 (talk) 03:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

There is no song on the twilight soundtrack called that. i own it and listen to it every single day. it isn't on the soundtrack, so please people. stop talking about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.176.81.1 (talk) 17:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually there is a song called "Let Me Sign" on the Twilight Soundtrack except it's only avaiable as an bonus track if you buy it on iTunes. That's how it's on the soundtrack. Btw he didn't write Let Me Sign... So I hear. :D Miss Sunshine 23:14, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

If you watched/listened to the commentary on the twilight 2 disk edition, then you would already know that he wrote let me sign because they talk about it a lot through out the fight scene. (Barnzey901 (talk) 18:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC))

New Information: Filmography

Rob was also in The Dragon King, this has never been mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.161.59 (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Summit Entertainment just confirmed that "New Moon", the "Twilight" movie's sequel, will be in develpoment as of now. Both Robert and Kristen have signed up to film the movie. Could someone add this film in his filmograpy as TBA or Pre-Production? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valeria P (talk • contribs) 20:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

In addition to the MTV Awards listed, Twilight also won the MTV Movie of the Year award. That should be added to the list Stewartm3 (talk) 00:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

edit protected request

{{editsemiprotected}} I would like you to remove the Arrest Record portion of the biography. The source listed for the arrest information clearly lists Christian Bale as the actor involved, not Robert Pattinson. Thank you tracygee (talk) 07:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC) </nowii> :

It's already been removed.-Andrew c ^[talk] 16:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

"model"

I would like to remove "model" from occupation. In a video with Haley [from Paramore] on youtube, he said that he did hand modeling, like once, and that's it. {{editsemiprotected}}

96.253.144.142 (talk) 06:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

According to an interview with Closer magazine (here is a scan of the article), he was indeed a model when he was younger. He doesn't appear to just be talking about hand modelling either, since he mentions his height. Andrea (talk) 07:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 Not done per above. Leujohn ^(talk) 08:23, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

He might not be in twilight two becuz of all the publicity ! and he wants to persue a music career —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertismyonlyvampire (talk • contribs) 19:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Why would he need to be in a sequel? He looks like he thinks he is still in the movie with the handgrenade-hair and the looking through his eyebrows when he talks to people. He turned into a goth wannabe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.253.68 (talk) 17:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

"I Tried to Copy James Dean"

Robert Pattinson says he has the legendary actor James Dean to thank for his new found fame and success. The British actor - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the new movie Twilight and will reprise his role in its sequel, New Moon - credits the Rebel Without a Cause star after admitting he tried to model himself on him while filming the hit movie. Pattinson, 19, says, "I tried copying James Dean's accent just because I've always wanted James Dean's voice. "I think that is why it has worked. Everyone loves a bit of James Dean."

Should we include this somewhere? Reidlos (talk) 01:07, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Since it's so specific to the one role in particular, maybe it should be included in the Twilight (2008 film) article instead? Andrea (talk) 21:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Let Me Sign

there is no such thing as a song called "let me sign" on the twilight soundtrack, so i cant understand why everyone keeps discussing it. rob didnt write that, but thats a pointless argument anyway, being as it isn't even included on the cd. really, the guy just wants to act and sing. let him live his life. regardless of how hot everyone thinks he is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.176.81.1 (talk) 17:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Though not on the official soundtrack, the song is in the Twilight movie and it was a bonus iTunes track for the soundtrack. Andrea (talk) 19:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Family

Robert is the oldest from step sister Jessica Pattinson and Kyle Pattison. Step sister Jessica Pattinson was born in Toronto, Canada on November 3rd with step brother Robert. Kyle is 15 and is prosuwing a acting carrer. Throughout Robert's life many "step mothers" Robert had to deal with, young Jessica who lives with Roberts 3rd step-mother is 11 years old and her assigned name is "Jessica Mucci". "She's like a sister you'll never have" Robert tells the press.Kyle is Robert's closet family member Robert tells the press. Jessica and Kyle live countries away from eachother. Kyle lives in Scotland with his father and Jessica lives with Mother in Brampton, Ontario. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.216.15.76 (talk) 17:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

This is WAY untrue! Robert's parents are Clare and Richard Pattinson (who have been together for many years). You can see them in clips from Robert's 23rd Birthday as well as his appearance on Ellen (they are in the audience dancing). Robert ONLY has two siblings; his sisters are Victoria and Elizabeth "Lizzy" Pattinson. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.218.16 (talk) 06:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Showering

Is there an appropriate section to mention that he doesn't wash his hair? Or should we make a new section, like hygiene or something —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.199.189.241 (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any references of this? Any videos or direct quotes of Robert Pattinson saying this himself? Even if you did, that is not something you would add to an article. Tweedle20 (talk) 18:02, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Tweedle20

Prisoner of Azkaban

Did Robert Pattinson appear in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban? I think there is one scene where Cedric Diggory appears, but I might be wrong. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 19:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

No, Pattinson did not appear in POA. If I remember correctly, Cedric was mentioned in the book but was not included in the film. Andrea (talk) 23:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks

Robert is 6ft 1. He has green eyes that at times appear blue. He has a boyish figure that is similar to Edward Cullen, the character that he portrays. Recently he was spotted shirtless in Italy with sculpted abs. Although to some people they appear airbrushed, at newmoonthemovie.org they confirm that the gorgeous abdomens are in fact real. Robert Pattinson has an interesting variety of hair colors. When he was younger his hair was blond but as he grew older he sported many other various colors and styles. In May of 2005 he had a short messy blondish brown hairdo. That hairstyle changed in June of 2007 when he was spotted with an interesting bob cut. That quickly changed in November when he dyed his hair black and got it cut much shorter. In June 2008 he had his classic "just got out of bed" light brown hair. lastly, in February 2009 was when he cut his "classic" hair. Robert Pattinson has said "I never thought there was anything wrong with my teeth, but the producers wanted me to do Invisalign. I lied to them and said I was wearing it." He has many looks and many characters that he portrays but anyway he looks he's always the same old Rob at heart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoppgirl12 (talk • contribs) 07:11, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
