Dans cette interview, Robert revient sur son style vestimentaire, sa collaboration avec Dior, la période où il était traqué par les paparazzis...
L'interview (en anglais) :
Robert Pattinson has come a long way since his Harry Potter and Twilight days. The British actor has just starred in the Oscar-nominated, Robert Eggers-directed film The Lighthouse, been unveiled as the next Batman and is the lead in Christopher Nolan's forthcoming Tenet. But Pattinson also has another key role keeping him busy and that's being the face of Dior Homme's current fragrance campaign.
Pattinson has worked with Dior for an extraordinary eight years, since 2012. “I never thought we would be doing it for this long,” Pattinson told us. With his chiselled good looks, that fine-tuned style and, of course, those intimidating acting chops, we're less surprised than Pattinson.
Being in a fragrance campaign has serious perks for an actor. “No one was really working with brands on such a big level when I was approached. That said, it's been incredible and I've worked with directors that I wanted to do movies with anyway. I've been able to work with Jonathan Alric and Romain Gavras.”
It's not just the auteurs he's been able to collaborate with that have been game changing for Pattinson. “If I was choosing to wear clothes myself, I don’t think I would have gone in a lot the directions that I have ended up going in with Dior and people like Kim Jones,” Pattinson said. “I never would have thought I would be wearing chiffon, silk and satin. I wore this tuxedo, which had basketball shorts last year – never would have imagined that!”
Though the days of dodgy outfits and ill-fitting cuts are behind him, Pattinson still cringes at the thought of them. One that stands out in particular is his look from the 2005 premiere of Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. “I was wearing leather trousers with these cowboy boots and a velvet jacket. I mean, it literally looked like a kid had gone into a dressing-up box.”
