Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson avec Esquire Middle East

Extrait de l'interview: 

Smoldering. There are few men who can ‘do smoldering’ better than Robert Pattinson. That sexy, broody, intense stare that on-screen is like a spark to a tinderbox. It’s the kind of look that, when mastered, you can build a career on – and, boy, has Robert Pattinson mastered it.

The face of Dior Homme fragrance since 2012, he has literally been the embodiment of the wildly popular, sexy, amber scent that this month gets re-invented thanks to the talents of Francis Kurkdjian, the artistic director of Christian Dior Parfums.

But don’t let a decade of smoldering fool you, Robert Pattinson is no Derek Zoolander. As one of the world’s most versatile and respected actors, his films include The Twilight Saga (2008-2012); The Lighthouse (2019); Christopher Nolan’s Tenet (2020) and The Batman (2022) – films that have him portraying the whole spectrum of weird and wonderful characters, normally from the very front of the film poster.

“Honestly, I find the Dior Man one of the hardest ‘characters’ to do,” says Pattinson. “Essentially you are being ask to play ‘attractive’, which actually comes with a lot of pressure when the cameras start rolling. You have to hit multiple points all at the same time.”

The newly released video for the re-imagining of Dior Homme sees Pattinson dancing, laughing, shadow boxing, smoldering in the mirror, smoldering in the throes of passion, smoldering up the fire escape of a Manhattan red brick, and smoldering while riding a motorcycle on an empty beach while being straddled by a beautiful woman. Does anyone do it better? We’ll wait…

“Shooting a fragrance campaign can be a lot trickier than a film, because the character is so much more abstract and ephemeral so there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ it’s done more on feel. Sometimes it feels like a roll of a dice, but as most of the work is done by the director, editors and crew, that dice is usually heavily weighted to a six!” he laughs.
