Sara Gruen, author of adapted for movie  book Water for Elephants, had a chance to try on her acting skills. Her and he r husband were cast as extras in a scene ehwre the circus parades down Weehawken, N.J. for the film due out April 15, 2011

“We retook that scene I think 18 times,” Gruen recalls. “I’m the one Rob Pattinson (who plays veterinarian Jacob Jankowski) elbows past and says, ‘Excuse me, ma’am’ to.”

She also talks about what it was like working with Tai the elephant:

“Her trainer told me to hug her trunk,” says Gruen, “so I did, and suddenly I was 7 feet in the air. She gave me many kisses, probably because I always carry mints for my horses, so I was slipping her candy every time I got a chance.”

What’s the secret of sexsym­bol Robert Pattinson?

Those who never heard of Robert Pat­tin­son must have been liv­ing on a deserted island the past two years. Ever since the 24 year old British actor played Edward Cullen in the Twi­light Saga, there have been lots of women swoon­ing over him. Glossy wanted to know: what makes this it-boy so sexy?

Tossled hair, sul­try eyes and a hot body are THE ingre­di­ents for a teen-idol and Robert Pat­tin­son has it all. But he almost didn’t become the star he is today. For the audi­tion of Twi­light, the first of the 4 Twi­light Saga movies (based on the pop­u­lar book by Stephe­nie Meyer) he made a video which never reached the cast­ing direc­tor. Robert thought he was so bad at act­ing that he didn’t dare send it in. The fact that he even­tu­ally did get invited to audi­tion was due to his part of Cedric Dig­gory in Harry Pot­ter and the Gob­let of Fire. Cedric doesn’t make it to the end of the movie, but Roberts car­reer started here.

The Brit wasn’t con­vinced though. Shortly after the audi­tion he called his par­ents: “I told them ‘This is it, I’m quit­ting!’ and the only thing they said was ‘Okay’. That wasn’t the answer I was expect­ing.” Robert needed all the sup­port he could get. The hard­core Twilight-fans, called Twi-hards, weren’t that enthau­si­as­tic about Robert play­ing their favourite vampire.

Stephe­nie Meyer, the ‘spir­i­tual mother’ of Edward Cullen, was con­vinced mis­ter Pat­tin­son could do it and made sure he got the part in the Twi­light Saga. (more…)

In “The Apparition, with Ashley Greene, was there a sort of war between franchises: Twilight vs. Harry Potter?
TOM FELTON: “How much did your movie ticket cost?” (Laughs). No, no, I felt honored to work with people of another successful franchise. And I reviewed Rob (Robert Pattinson) at the premiere of “Remember Me”, he remembered me, nothing has changed!

Translation:

Gor­geous vam­pire is the shy 24 year-old
“They are scream­ing for Edward, not to myself. Then it is eas­ier to take all the hysteria.”

Q: Isn’t it tough to be fol­lowed by Paparazzi any where you go?
Rob: I guess I should relax and think “It’s only a pic­tures taken and posted to tabloids.” and let it go.To tell you the truth, sur­rounded by 50 Paparazzis 24/7 is really tough. And I have a bad habit to react them with nasty face; I should come up with bet­ter look for paparazzi pho­tos by now. Laughs.I am always thank­ful to my fam­ily and close friends; they never change their atti­tude toward me. They keep me to the ground. Some of them haven’t even seen “Twi­light” movies yet! So relieving!

Q: What attract you about Edward?
Rob: That he is sin­cerely modest.

Q: You’ve been con­stant work­ing. Don’t you want to have a break?
Rob: Not really. If you go on vaca­tion, it is just another cause of more paparazzi pho­tos, any­way. So, I’ll keep work­ing until they get tired of fol­low­ing me; it should be soon over in next few years, I guess.
