Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson avec 10 magazine
L'interview (en anglais pour le moment ! Traduction à venir) :
Dior Homme Parfum has been a cornerstone of the modern gentleman’s morning routine for two decades – a subtly seductive, iconic fragrance that masterfully balances strength and tenderness, rooted in the timeless allure of the iris flower. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, master perfumer and perfume creation director for Christian Dior Parfums Francis Kurkdjian has reimagined the classic, enhancing its sleek, sensual essence with a rich, concentrated formula that bears his distinctive olfactory signature. Even better, Robert Pattinson is the face of it. “I think this new chapter in the campaign has such a deep sensuality to it. And also a relaxed maturity that probably comes from being so comfortable around everyone I work with at Dior,” says Pattinson.
In a smouldering campaign lensed by Mikael Jansson and backdropped by either a city skyline or what resembles a Brooklyn loft apartment, the chiselled English actor lounges around, his hair tousled with a devil-may-care kind of attitude, looking like the picture of the versatile man. “Dior Homme is so malleable, which is important for me because I don’t want to be tied down to one identity. I want to be able to be free to adapt and Dior Homme seems to fit with any situation,” Pattinson says.
Dior Homme Parfum is great at that; bending and remoulding to fit any scenario be it a blue-light heavy day at the office or a rambunctious night on the town. With just one whiff, you’ll be enveloped in an intoxicating overdose of iris, capturing the softness of its petals and the earthiness of its roots. Kurkdjian’s fresh interpretation of Dior Homme Parfum embodies the couture spirit of the Dior man, offering a scent that is both structured and fluid, sophisticated yet deeply sensual. When and where does Pattinson apply it? “Mainly in the morning so that by the evening you’ve really made it your own. I’m more used to wearing fragrance at night when I have plans to go out. I give one spray and walk through it.”
Recalling his conversations with Kurkdjian in New York, Pattinson says, “I loved talking to Francis in New York. The process of making a fragrance from an outside perspective seems so impossible to understand, but Francis has a way of describing his art that is so evocative and accessible that I left our meeting having a much deeper understanding. I love that his process sounds like some kind of grand emotional adventure rather than being stuck in a lab.” Returning to his thoughts on the fragrance, he adds, “I like the saying that nature does not grow in leaps and while Dior Homme is always innovating and changing, it maintains the familiar while leading us gently into the new, and always with a little bit of wonder.” Shop Dior Homme Parfum here.
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.

Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson avec Harper's Bazaar
Extrait de l'interview :
Much has changed since Robert Pattinson was first announced as the face of the Dior Homme fragrance back in 2013. He’s starred in more than a few critically acclaimed films, taken on the mantle of Bruce Wayne in The Batman, and even welcomed a child with fiancée—and fellow exceptionally talented beautiful person—Suki Waterhouse. Now, at 38 years old, the actor is once again the face of the latest iteration of Dior Homme, a refined and streamlined version of the iconic scent focused on the iris note.
Pattinson is as delightfully honest and refreshing as ever. Ahead, the actor spills his hair-color regrets, the one health supplement he really loves, and more of his fragrance and wellness secrets exclusively to Bazaar.
You had blond highlights in my favorite film, Tenet, a mustache in The Lighthouse, and darker, longer hair in The Batman, and then in the upcoming Mickey 17 I imagine there had to be slight physical differences between the multiple versions of you. So how does beauty, grooming, or scent play a role in how you conceive of the characters that you’re playing?
It’s massive and kind of an unusual thing as well. It’s funny, because in your everyday life, if you’re an actor, you’re like, “Oh, if I wear these clothes or wear this or whatever, everyone’s gonna think I’m, like, this kind of person as a normal person.” No, they don’t. No one is thinking anything. No one even notices you change your hair. But it’s such a funny thing when you’re on a set and doing a camera test and you’re saying, “Oh, what is this saying, this slightly different hair?” It sort of does do something. It definitely makes me feel very, very different.
The blond highlights in Tenet—I was really obsessed with Christopher Hitchens at the time. And there’s something about a very blond person who’s a heavy drinker; it’s a very particularly kind of English thing, and you always see it in a gentlemen’s club. I kind of associate very blond hair with a kind of childishness, and there’s something like a sort of angelic-ness about you—like a fallen-angel kind of thing. That’s what I was going for.
Was it your decision, then, to go blond for that film?
I initially dyed my hair really blond, and it looked a little crazy. I toned it down a bit. Highlighting your hair is funny. I did it the other day, when I went to Coachella for the first time in like a decade. I kind of had a nervous breakdown beforehand, thinking I was too old. So I got frosted tips put on, and then I wore a hat the entire time anyway because I was too self-conscious about it.
You’re like...this was a bad choice.
But when I was by myself, I was like, “Hey, I look like how I wanted to look when I was 15.”

Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson avec GQ Espagne
Extrait de l'interview en espagnol :
Once años y medio; o, lo que es lo mismo, 138 meses; o 4.220 días. Este es el tiempo que ha transcurrido desde que Robert Pattinson fue designado embajador del perfume Dior Homme por primera vez —ocurrió el 12 de junio de 2013—. Entonces, el intérprete oriundo de Londres cargaba a sus espaldas con la etiqueta de sensación adolescente, pues vivía todavía los coletazos del proyecto cinematográfico teen que lo hizo aterrizar en la cima de la cinematografía mainstream. Hablamos, claro está, de la saga Crepúsculo —adaptación para la gran pantalla de la fábula de Stephanie Meyer—, que culminó el 16 de noviembre de 2012 con el estreno de la segunda parte de Amanecer —último título de la colección de relatos que inequívocamente impulsó el género vampírico en el ámbito audiovisual—.
También entonces Dior Homme representaba un renacer olfativo para la maison francesa. Su primera versión fue formulada por el nariz Olivier Polge y vio la luz en 2005 (año en el que, a modo de curiosidad, Robert Pattinson encarnó su primer papel relevante en la gran pantalla como Cedric Diggory en Harry Potter y el cáliz de fuego). Unos años después, el perfumista François Demachy, que había tomado el relevo de Polge tras trabajar en Chanel, Ungaro, Bourjois y Tiffany, fue el responsable de replantear un perfume que ya en su día había supuesto una revolución en la industria. ¿Por qué? Porque el primer Dior Homme, el de 2005, se promocionó como una fragancia que olía… a maquillaje de mujer. En concreto, a lápiz de labios. Esta reminiscencia femenina se atribuyó entonces al uso que hizo Polge del iris como una nota de salida ultrapotente. Demachy, en el momento de reinterpretarlo en la declinación Intense, lo depuró y mezcló con el cacao, el talco y la vainilla. La responsabilidad del francés era mastodóntica, pero su trabajo superó todas las expectativas. Dior Homme Intense fue tan solo el primero de muchos éxitos, como Sauvage —el perfume masculino más vendido del mundo—, Miss Dior o la versión Infimissime de J’Adore.
Ahora, recién comenzado 2025, la historia es bien diferente, tanto para Robert Pattinson como para Dior Homme. Pattinson, a sus 38 años, se ha consagrado como intérprete ‘serio’. Su imagen de protagonista de una saga cinematográfica adolescente evolucionó primero hacia la de un actor de método en películas indies como Good Time (2017), El faro (2019), High Life (2018) y El diablo a todas horas (2020)—, para después dar el salto a proyectos masivos que le auparon a la lista A de Hollywood. Hablamos de Tenet (Christopher Nolan, 2020) y, por supuesto, de Batman (Matt Reeves, 2022). A esta pareja de cintas se unirá en abril Mickey 17, obra del oscarizado Bona Joon-ho (Parásitos, 2019), que está basada en la novela Mickey 7 de Edward Ashton. En ella, Robert Pattinson se convierte en un astronauta reemplazable que tendrá que luchar contra sí mismo —literalmente— durante la conquista de Niflheim. Por su parte, Dior Homme ha evolucionado también, y ahora vuelve a ser carne de reinterpretación a cargo de otro perfumista, Francis Kurkdjian —director de su casa homónima y también del Departamento de Creación de Perfumes de Christian Dior—.

Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson avec Elle
C'est une pluie d'interviews aujourd'hui pour la promo du nouveau parfum Dior Homme !
Extrait de l'interview :
Robert Pattinson joins our Zoom from a hotel in Boston, where he’ll be spending the next few weeks shooting a movie with Zendaya, officially making this the coolest, sexiest moment in the nearly 400-year history of Boston. It’s the start of a busy stretch for the new-ish father, who has a 23-month-old daughter with his partner, Suki Waterhouse. This month he’s headlining a new fragrance campaign for Dior Homme, and he’ll be back in movie theaters this spring in Mickey 17, the long-awaited sci-fi black comedy from Parasite director Bong Joon Ho. Below, Pattinson takes our ELLE Man questionnaire.
Your work with Dior Homme made me wonder how acute your sense of smell is.
I can weirdly turn on and off my sense of smell. I think I have a scent dyslexia, where I think something smells like something that no one else thinks it does.
Do you have any vivid memories attached to a particular scent?
Since I had a kid, I’ve definitely become more attuned to that. I remember my mom always saying, “Oh, the smell of babies!” And I’d be like, I don’t know, they all smell like genetically modified piglets. But then you have your own kid, and it’s, “Oh, this is the best smell I’ve ever smelled.” Another one that comes to mind was the smell of the mask in The Batman. Once you put the cowl on, you have to get someone else to take it off, so there’s something about being locked into it. You’re like, “Okay, I’m gonna be dealing with this smell for the next 12 hours.” It’s funny—when I did the audition, I tried on all the different [cowls] and I wore Val Kilmer’s, and it still held a human scent.
