Nov 20 2008Robert Pattinson could probably create an army of teenage girls and destroy us all
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, stars of the movie Twilight, stopped by The Today Show this morning where they took questions from a maniacal gaggle of teenage girls. You could tell in the video (after the jump) Robert Pattinson was definitely broadsided by his new heartthrob status. I almost feel bad for the guy. If anyone knows what it's like to wake up every morning knowing the whole world wants to do you, it's me. Yet somehow I persevere - for the children.
NOTE: Insanity kicks in around the 7:00 mark. Kudos to Robert Pattinson for attempting to understand the crazy then quickly realizing these chicks wouldn't think twice about wearing his skin as a coat.

why do most guys look like Jordan Bratman in real life? uggggh....

Having millions of teenage girls in love with you sounds awesome on paper...but after watching this video it appears to be only fat and/or ugly teenage girls.

Watch him get pegged for statutory.... then he'll have Bruno screaming his name...

I feel badly for Kristen Stewart..she's a pretty good actress, and she must feel like a third wheel in every interview she does.
Everyone wants Edward Cullen. No guys are out there for Bella Swan. I think she wanted to punch RP in the jaw.
8. Stoney - November 20, 2008 1:11 PM
What's up with him? He always looked stoned out of his mind
9. ali - November 20, 2008 1:13 PM
Kristen Stewart actually seemed very intelligent, it's too bad she's in this guy's shadow.
10. Danklin24 - November 20, 2008 1:16 PM
I got to 3 minutes of the video and then thought to myself why the FUCK am i watching this?
11. Matt Lauer - November 20, 2008 1:16 PM
It wasn't just the teens that wanted him, you should have seen my MILF co-host Merideth on her knees in the green room
12. xms - November 20, 2008 1:17 PM
Kristen looks so uncomfortable and sad in the video... but the guy is hot, is that his fault? I love his accent and voice now that I've heard him.

oh my god

Racy Lacy: For the same reason that most girls are ugly out-of-shape hags in real life. It's a bummer but there are more ugly girls out there than ugly guys so you have no room to complain.
15. Cheese - November 20, 2008 1:23 PM

Kristin looks so hunched over and nervous during the interview seems almost rodent like ....

Look, Robert...Rob...Bob...Bobby...Bobbyboy...The Bobster...Boberrino...now's the time. These girls will give it up, all of it, everything. You could do multiple ATMs and finish with a donkey punch, all of it no-lube, and she'd be grateful through her tears. No other guy has that type of leverage these days. Well, except for Frist's fiance, granted.
19. Goblinkatie - November 20, 2008 1:39 PM
I'm sorry, but asking tweens if they think a person is sexy is just plain wrong. They're too young for that sort of leading.

I think that Twilight is the final proof required to absolve the old hypothesis that females mature faster than males. Seriously, you’d have to be an absolute idiot to get carried away with such a tripe piece of literature that you’d believe this dumbass has any actual superpowers or even credibility as a human being. He was chosen for this role because he’s rugged – like Pete Doherty. Kristen was chosen because she’s plain and socially odd, but she’s not important anyway. The character of Bella is essentially an avatar for all prepubescent girls and mentally prepubescent women everywhere; women who want a guy in their lives whose only purpose is to be good looking and resist the overwhelming urge to kill them. God help humanity.

the guy is hot but he should have heard her mother when she told her "the comb brush is your friend"

I don't get it. Is this all because this random dude is in a random movie?
He's not even good looking.
Score another one for the retardation of the masses.
26. Bryar D - November 20, 2008 2:02 PM
Maybe I'm lucky and those girls will end up killing him... hopefully someday soon
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
27. ladym00s - November 20, 2008 2:07 PM
I love how he made a point of standing at least four feet back from the barrier the whole time.
If I didn't think it would get me arrested, I would drive by the people waiting inline downtown right now and throw shit at them. And by shit I mean vampire bats, five gallon tubs of blood, and human excrement.
Fuck. This. Movie.
28. Hugh Hefner - November 20, 2008 2:10 PM
Just dropping a note to all the Superficial readers, Robert will be featured in Playgirl. There's also a really good possibility of some porn later on. I understand he likes good looking guys to splooge in his ass and on his tonsils.

To all who keep saying "who cares?", well you care enough to post your hatred. Go get a life, if you don't care, move on.
And yeah Robert Pattinson is hot. I'm not a teenage girl, and he is not a teenage boy. The Twilight books are amazing. Reserve your judgment until you've read them, it only makes you sound ignorant and hateful.
37. Misha - November 20, 2008 3:03 PM
Whats the deal with this guy? I dont get it... he always looks like a bum!
38. Fernanado Narcos - November 20, 2008 3:19 PM
He's the Antijonas.Anything that will keep those annoying little fucks out of the spotlight can't be all bad.
39. Keri - November 20, 2008 3:20 PM
Woot! Rob and Kristen are awesome, I can't wait for the movie! I agree with S_M_G!
40. sandy - November 20, 2008 3:36 PM
I like the bed-head look at times, but Robert's has crossed the line into ridiculous. For the look to work it needs to look like you didn't do anything to it, not like you did everything to it.
And speaking of hair, Kristen could have done better than this "just left the gym" look. She also looks like she is about to cry.
I think Kristen is one of the rare girls who looks better without makeup. With it she looks like she's playing dress-up; without it she looks like a natural cutie.

43. gfgdg - November 20, 2008 4:44 PM
they are both miserable cunts in this interview...how could anyone like them. even more so, why would you cast them? 0 personality + there are at least 10 better looking actors and actresses i can think of. oh well...seems like it worked out alrite for the stuio, they ll get their money's worth.
44. Chauncey Gardner - November 20, 2008 5:03 PM

>>Most of you posting don't sound any more intelligent than the fans you keep berating.>>
Well, we sure as hell weren't freezing our asses off in front of a TV studio all morning, just to look at the backs of a couple of actors' heads through a pane of sound-proof, bullet-proof glass during an interview. And what the fuck - don't these screaming little bitches have school?
45. ryn - November 20, 2008 5:28 PM
Gotta feel bad for this guy, and even worse for the girl. As much psycho shit he's getting, from the pissed off look on her face the whole time, nobody cares about her.
It's similar to Beatles mania....except Beatles mania was in a time before school shootings and choking yourself with belts was popular with tweens.
46. simplicity - November 20, 2008 5:59 PM

The movie will suck
These actors are idiots.

48. He's hot and seems pleasant, unlike yourselves - November 20, 2008 6:36 PM
what lucky bastards. they didnt even get lead roles before, now they're catapulted to fame instantly because of some screaming girls. oh well theyve handled it well and seem to be way less of assholes then most actors who would just be hiding from the fans, at least they have a sense of humor.
i love how the guys on this page who usually write the nastiest most annoying comments about how hot whatever chick is on this page. just face it, even looking homeless and filthy this guy looks probably ten thousand times hotter than you. all us women know he can be washed up.
49. Emmie - November 20, 2008 6:53 PM
LOLZORS.
I seriously don't get the hype about Twilight.
50. Chauncey Gardner - November 20, 2008 7:15 PM
#48,
Naming your Pocket Rocket "Rob Pattinson" is about as close as your almost certainly obese twat is going to get to having his cheesy dick inside it. You'd be lucky if the dike who co-stars in this garbage would screw you with a strap-on, eyes closed and on PCP.
51. krispiana beaverhausen - November 20, 2008 8:00 PM
how does this guy go around every day looking like he whacks off into his hairgel?
must be one hot movie, cuz in real life dude looks like a trainwreck. a really stoned trainwreck.
52. J.D. - November 20, 2008 8:02 PM
Everytime I watch the twilight fandom, I weep for my generation and the subsequent.
I can honestly say I'm a twilight fan, but I've never ever felt the need to be this... insane. If I saw the cast, my first question wouldn't be "Will you marry me?", or "will you bite me?", and I'd probably laugh at anyone who did ask either of those, because... it's weird. How can they not see that it's so, so weird?
In fact, whenever I see these interviews and hear about the antics of the "Twilighters", I cannot fathom why so many girls think it's necessary to push their "fanlove" to this ridiculous and insane level. I mean, sure, Robert Pattinson IS attractive, but that's no reason to completely shunt the other stars, nor is it an excuse to trample people and break their noses to see him, nor scratch your neck until it bleeds before getting an autograph. Why would any of them think that ANY of that was acceptable?
I do pity the cast in this. They didn't know what they were signing up for, and unless you're Robert Pattinson, you're doomed to be shafted whenever he's around.
And the best part? The majority of those screaming fangirls bitched and whined about him being a crap choice for Cullen. Hypocrisy, kids. "You can google it".
53. charlie - November 20, 2008 9:07 PM
His photos were seen at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ----MillionaireLoving. C O M---- last week. It is said he is already in relationship with a young pretty ...maybe you also have the chance to date with a rich beauty there. Come on.
54. dewster - November 20, 2008 10:21 PM
gah, that was so awkward and painful to watch, when they go outside... dude is so full of himself, it's embarrassing. i'm a huge fan of these books, but the movie looks so awful, i'm ashamed to tell people i like the books. the movie looks like fuckin cw teen drama bullshit, and i liked the books b/c i didn't get that feel from them at all. piss on twilight the movie and robert pattinson.
55. Roxanne - November 20, 2008 10:41 PM
I'm a huge fan of Twilight, but i have to say "Robert get ur out ya ass!"
Honestly does this cast have a personality? Kristen Stewart constantly goes around with a miserable face, i mean HONESTLY cheer up girl or else your face will stay that way lol
As for the "Twi-hards" wateve their called, are so pathetic it's almost cringeworthy!
Oh one last thing, "fix ya hair Robert" he looks like a drunken bum he almost puts us Brits to shame!
56. Emma - November 20, 2008 10:51 PM
Ewww how is this Robert Pattinson considered sexy? He DOES look like a bum. Clearly all the females need their head tested, they are so convinced this guy IS Edward that they fail to see this guy is a goofy British nerd! I'm pretty sure he gets laid everynight by ditzy big boobed blondes who are only out for one thing,..oh wait he does!!
Well it's the closest thing the twilighters will get to lil Eddie Cullen :D
WOOOOOOOOO it's fun hating Robert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
57. whateveryo - November 20, 2008 11:16 PM
My friends are obsessed with this book, and I've been too busy with school to pick one up.
The girl in the audience called him Edward McCullen. I hope she realizes that that person is a fictional character and the person she was going gaga is a totally different person named Rob Pattinson.
He was on Ryan Seacrest's radio show a couple days ago and although I don't find him very attractive, he seems like a nice and funny guy-- on the radio at least.
But these crazy fan girls are like 18-20 years old, and they need to relax.
The guy is only 23!!
58. Libby - November 20, 2008 11:23 PM
The twilight books are decent pop books. They are in no way "amazing" and do not deserve the bizarre hype that they've drummed up. They're romance novels for lovesick teenage girls with a budding kinky side. That's about it.
59. kiddie porn is kewl - November 21, 2008 12:28 AM
The only way this movie is going to suck and blow more than it already does if it turns out to be amateur gay bollywood porn.
60. britboysarehot - November 21, 2008 12:45 AM
He's stunning and the accent drives me crazy!
61. J@cko - November 21, 2008 12:49 AM
That sort of behavior can be expected from teenage girls, but from grown-up mothers? Come on!
Well perhaps I can't understand the whole thing because I've got Y chromosoms.
62. NY Ted - November 21, 2008 1:13 AM
Comparing him to when the Beatles arrived in North America...?????
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! WRONG!
The big difference is THAT THE BEATLES HAD TALENT GALORE and were destined to change the world as we knew it...AND THEY DID! And their music is still changing lives everyday!
From what I've seen on the trailers...this fucking clown is just another pretty boy who couldn't act to save his penis from falling off.
63. Guy LeFlour - November 21, 2008 1:41 AM
Best part about this is that these girls are all screaming for the character this idiot is playing, and not actually "Robert Pattinson" himself, as they've amazingly deluded themselves into thinking this random schmuck is actually a fucking vampire.
Then the dude actually admits that he never read the books before (probably because he's a male over the age of 18) and took the role without having a clue about them or their following. So basically, he's the luckiest motherfucker on the planet by becoming the "face" of some beloved character that couldn't have any more to do with him than anyone else on the planet.
That's basically like some unknown actor who's somehow never heard of Catcher in the Rye landing the role of Holden Caulfield and reaping all the benefits of being a "star" for doing nothing but becoming the face to a name people have read about for years.
My head hurts.
64. MissyYea - November 21, 2008 2:02 AM
i'm disappointed in him. i know no one would match exactly what people were thinking edward was like and he does look handsome but his personality blows. and kristen's is worse. they both look so awkward and have no idea what to say. they both haven't read the books and got the role? i guess its good for them to get the twilight movies, i doubt they will be able to get any other successful roles with such crappy personalities and now that they have a steady 4 movie role (hopefully) it will be hard for them to detach from it for other movies.
65. hzxbdfb - November 21, 2008 3:08 AM
I can't be bothered with him until he pees on an audience full of jews.
66. Confused Non-Fan - November 21, 2008 8:42 AM
Glad to read I'm not the only one who thinks this Robert Pattinson is a doofus? We looks unwashed and stoned (in a bad way) just not my type I guess.
I guess I'll have to reserve more judgment until I actually SEE him in the movie but from the trailer just looks like lots of bad acting.
67. s - November 21, 2008 1:12 PM
hahah i kinda loved him way before this whole twilight shitasco, i feel so bad for him now. if you look at his interviews he's very awesome, although he is super awkward/shy.
i hope hollywood doesn't fuck him up
68. Alex - November 21, 2008 1:25 PM

HE IS THE PIPE PIPER OF PEDOPHILIA ALL OF THOSE DUMB GIRLS WITH NO TASTE WASTING MONEY ON A STUPID BORING MOVIE AND THE DUDE IS DAMN UGLY THOSE STUPID GIRLS THINK HE IS HOT BECAUSE HE WAS IN THAT STUPID MOVIE HARRY POTTER AND NOW HE IS IN THAT BORING TWILIGHT , IT SHOULD BE CALL TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE IS A MESS IN SOME OTHER DIMENTION
70. liz4sale - November 21, 2008 2:22 PM
He is a good looking guy but he does look dirty as fuck in those pics. I read something where he said he hasnt washed his hair in 6 weeks so maybe he still hasnt washed it yet..i duno. and kristen looks like shes got a stick up her ass 24/7 but shes prolly jealous of him im sure. maybe theyre just tired, who knows. id be worn out if everywhere i went ppl followed me, screaming and crying and grabbing at me. eew.
71. kt - November 21, 2008 4:49 PM
I think that they were the most boring people I have seen interviewed, the guy is a total douche and his hair is another story and the girl just seems like a bitch that doesn't understand how to talk and not fidget when being asked a question. I think they are both awful, i am so sick of seeing them everywhere!!

I am a Twilight fan, I love the books. but I do agree with who said these fans are insane. I read the books, saw the movie, sported my tee at school (yes, I'm still in high school) but I wouldn't be so crazy if I saw them. "BITE MEEE! MARRY MEE!" No thanks. Rob Pattinson is attractive and has a cute accent, but geez calm down girls.
75. ECsexMACHINE - November 23, 2008 1:06 PM
Haha I read your stuff everyday, and I burst out laughing when I saw this!
I truly feel for this guy, he's getting pounded by pathetic fans who think he is just like Edward Cullen.. which I must say he acts very well as.
76. sexapeal - November 23, 2008 8:37 PM
I think he's got sex appeal. I like the whole "not trying to hard" look... c'mon, honestly..puting on a black pear of pants and a long sleeve shirt shouldnt be to hard. His hair was fuckin sexy BEFORE everyone started with the comments!!!! hell yeah!!! so atleast he knows whats up. i think he's gorgeous, as well as kristen. ive always thought she was beautiful. i don't think this movie would have been as good with any other teen girl playing this role. this is how she is in a lot of movies, wich is very characteristic. i like it, i dig it. he's hott, and all u fuker guys out there are jelous! obviously he wasnt expecting it but i think it's really cool. I live in ALASKA, so of course.. I HAVE TO WAIT to see this movie
wich sucks!!
-makes me wanna get the books tho:) HEY you two are gorgeous.

oh my god. you annoying people who keep saying how "hes so ugly and this movie and its actors are terrible and oh my god how do people like him hes so over rated"..... get a life. for real u are all 40 year old men who are jealous because rob pattinson is getting all the girls. yeah i went there. you just need to stop acting like immature babies and get over the fact that not everyone likes the same things in a guy. some people like him others don't. i happen to think he is very hot and beautiful. im not saying everyoen has to think that. and im not saying everyone DOES think that. and i do agree that even though i love the books and the movie and rob these girls are a little crazy. and uhh yeahh. standing out in the freezing cold when you might not even get a glimpse of either of them? yeahh thats crazy.
but anywayss. i love robert! :] woot woot
80. spunk_ransom_is_love - December 3, 2008 11:08 PM
and oh yeah i forgot.
HE IS NOT EDWARD CULLEN.
THIS IS ROBERT PATTINSON!
god, i hate it when people call him "edward" or ask if hes like edward or his "character".
obviously not. hes an ACTOR.
jeeez. it bothers me.
and i just love how he has no clue why people love him :]
ahhh hes wonderful :]

i knowww, and i dont know if i like robert as much as i DID. he seems so boring,unlike edward cullens. and those are some scary girls,i would have been asking him all kinds of question and even ask him for a hug.
84. Dominique - December 29, 2008 7:31 PM
I feel embarassed for majority of these females who feel the need to throw themselves at Robert Pattinson. I feel even worse for Kristin Stewert for being shafted everytime Robert is around. I actually loved her in some of her other movies, like Zathura and Into the Wild. I feel sorry for Robert, because he is probably just your average-joe guy, who is now expected to live up to the expectations of Edward Cullen. I would buzz cut my hair also if everytime someone sees me on the street screams 'EDWARD' when obviously that's not his name.
I think girls and women need to remember that this is just a story, and there is no such thing as vampires and the type of love and passion shared between Edward and Bella.
I for one know that I will not be one of those people that will be chasing down Robert screaming 'MARRY ME'....
Pft... I will probably be the one beside Kristin Stewart smoking a pipe with her! (Don't believe that a 18 year old star smokes?? http://www.monacome.com/2008/11/kristen-stewart-smoking-pot-photos.html)
85. Lisa - December 29, 2008 8:16 PM
I feel really bad for Robert. He is stalked by crazy fans. I am a fan of twilight but not obbsessed. If I were in his shoes I would go mad. Yeah he is hot and all but not the most perfect soul on the planet. Seriously people get a fucking grip. Get the poor boy some room he is just an actor not the real thing. I also feel bad for kristen too. She always gets left out. I love the book series but the movie give me a break people its just a movie not some thing you have to kill robert over. I feel so bad for him.
