Robert Pattinson is known for playing fearless vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” series, but the British actor revealed that he wasn’t so tough as a kid.

“I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger,” he revealed in an interview with Parade magazine. “I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked.

“It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.”

Pattinson, 23, said he used his rough past to help play the role of restless Tyler Hawkins in his new movie, “Remember Me,” which hits theaters Friday.

“I related to Tyler in that I wish I could have done things like he did when I had the opportunity. There is something quite satisfying about being a little bit more reckless and even fighting,” RPattz explained. “It’s quite cathartic to just sort of randomly start hitting someone. It was fun kind of, letting all your rage go on the set.”

Much like his recent interview with Details magazine in which the actor griped that he’s “allergic to vaginas,” Pattinson continued to lament his female troubles to Parade.

“When it comes to the opposite sex, I’m not as fully confident as the guy I play,” said Pattinson, who recently revealed he’s dating his “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewart.

“I don’t even remember the last time I asked someone out on a date, like, just went up to them and that’s the first thing I did. I’m much more self-conscious and not wanting to fail. So I tend to hold back.”

View them larger at the gallery HERE!

their lives have changed in the very moment when the twilight saga fell into their hands. two simple guys who love their privacy, have become idols of thousands of fans. Seeking to win a place in the firmament of the great stars of Hollywood, to ask what had happened in the future, took to stay obsessed with the characters that gave them so much joy. robert feeling the fear of the public, directors or responsible for castings not see it as more than a vampire with a big heart. And we got to recognize it, the weight of the shadow of Edward is truly impressive! The English actor has some fear, which is normal. All the character of the saga twilight gave also can take him. When once asked who the interpreter role of Robert Pattinson in a film about his life, the actor replied ironically: “Ill do it myself, because iI probably will not be working after that.” A harsh response, but it is currently unlikely.

Robert remembers
New York -
Robert Pattinson admits he was in denial when he signed up for the tragic-rebel/romanance film Remember Me.

Yes, Twilight had just come out. But the 23 -year-old actor – Known to legions of young women as the heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen – thought he could put that aside and prepare for his role as a troubled NYU student the old fashion way.

“Before I actullay went to New York, I thought it was going to be really easy, and I could just hang out there ans pick-up on a lot of New Yorkers’ mannerisms,” says the easy-going British actor with the independent hair.

“of course, it ended up being more of a circus than I thought.” And it would only get worse. By the time filming began on the indie rebel without a cause-esque drama,Twilight: New Moon had come out. And while his Aussie leading lady Emilie de Ravin ( Lost) was able to saunter about Queens honing her accent for Remember Me, Pattinson was a constrained by girls in “Team Edward” t-shirts and,more aggressively,by the poparazzi.

At the beginning, it was driving me insane,”Pattinson says. “Especially for a character who’s supposed to be lost and looking for something,and you can’t look up because suddenly shutters accelerate. I mean, halfway through I had an epiphany about it. It was just learning how to block things out.”

Ladies, catch your breath – in between his time sparkling as a vampire, R Patz returns to the screen in this romantic drama.

He’s Tyler, a rebellious student in New York in 2001, who’s got a strained relationship with his lawyer dad (an aloof and emotionally hard Pierce Brosnan) ever since his brother committed suicide.

Tyler is a bit of a closed book drifter, a one night stands kind of guy who won’t emotionally open up – but that all changes when a twist of fate brings him to Ally (Lost’s Emilie de Ravin).

Ally too is emotionally damaged – having seen her mom murdered on the subway when she was 11, she isn’t initially too keen to let Tyler into her life.

But the pair’s paths are intertwined and fate has a way of playing these things out.

Both Pattinson and de Ravin are perfectly cast in Remember Me, an aching, yearning film about love – there’s broodiness aplenty and inevitable family dramas and a sprinkling of The Taming of The Shrew – but what Remember Me does have is a way of subverting your expectations.

Sure it’s a clichéd relationship – Ally’s dad, a cop (the ever wonderful Chris Cooper) isn’t impressed and Tyler’s dad is emotionally stunted from the rest of the family – but it’s the central performances from de Ravin and Pattinson which give this film flight and takes it away from your usual brooding young love and aching hearts kind of film.

Granted there are familiar familial patterns playing out here – the family drama on all sides is nothing new and there’s more than a few predictable moments as the end approaches.

Some will argue Pattinson’s just putting in another brooding performance a la Edward Cullen (ie slightly aloof) but that’s unfair to RPatz – whose restrained screen presence gradually unpeels and reveals several layers. It’s clear he’s destined for a shelf life beyond the ole vamp, and thanks to de Ravin’s emotionally rich performance, the pair sizzle on screen.

But it’s the rich ending of Remember Me which emotionally shocks you by knocking the wind out of your cinematic sails – it’s unexpected, powerful and may well leave you agog. (But you won’t find me discussing it here).

Remember Me is an intriguing relationship drama which will have RPatz’s fans both drooling and more in love with him than ever before – but its ending will polarise the audience; however sometimes, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Remember Me will give viewers a wicked shock: Edward Cullen has a personality! Robert Pattinson, thus far so perilously trudging the road that would forever entomb him as Twilight’s marble-bodied, glittering-yet-dull va-va-vampire, is given permission to breathe in Allen Coulter’s romantic drama. And he’s charming. And witty. And, well, alive.

Pattinson’s charisma, along with that of his co-star, Lost’s Emilie de Ravin, elevate what could have been a dreary affair. There’s a genuine shock in the final minutes of Will Fetters’ debut script, a sucker-punch that is arguably unnecessary yet results in a finale most wrenchingly felt if it remains a surprise. Not that the story leading up to it is all roses. The film is predominantly about death—homicidal, suicidal, accidental. It’s about fractured families, depression, and listlessness, and how those cracks can draw people to one another in seach of soothing. Misery loves company, and all that.

Yet Remember Me is also about love, and before you roll your eyes, know that it’s one of those rare films that makes what could have come across as treacle and melodrama feel real. The film opens on a Brooklyn subway platform, where a woman is robbed and murdered in front of her young daughter. Ten years later, the girl, Ally (de Ravin), is a college student who lives a mostly peaceful existence with her police detective father (Chris Cooper) in Queens. We’re also introduced to Tyler (Pattinson), a classmate of Ally’s who is first shown rushing to a memorial service while smelling, as his little sister notes, “like Listerine and beer.” The gathering is for Tyler’s older brother, Michael, who’d killed himself six years ago. Along with his 11-year-old sister, Caroline (Ruby Jerins), the group includes their mother (Lena Olin), stepdad (Gregory Jbara), and icy Wall Street father (Pierce Brosnan).

A bit of convolution leads to Tyler and Ally meeting and falling in love. The setup is, admittedly, the clichéd cinematic lie of omission that will inevitably be revealed and result in plenty of door-slamming and sulking. There’s also the requisite wacky roommate, here Tyler’s (Tate Ellington), who serves as instigator, peacemaker, and source of comic relief. But Ellington’s Aiden is actually funny without being obnoxious, and the how of the central couple’s budding relationship is easily forgivable in light of its believable progression and the relaxed chemistry between the two leads.

Yes, this is all rather vague, but it’s more worthwhile to undersell the particulars of the story in favor of highlighting its strengths. Remember Me may theoretically dwell in the moribund, but in execution it’s tender, sweet, and appealing in its realistic, intimate portrayal of relationships both strained and smooth. De Ravin is luminous and offers a character who is independent, smart, and assuredly individual—in other words, a typical sorority-shunning college girl. Yet it’s Pattinson who’ll make you swoon. Disheveled handsomeness and effortless cool aside, his Tyler is simply a good guy, one who adores and encourages his artistically gifted little sister and fights for her when Dad or her classmates leave her feeling like an unloved outcast. He defends others, too—breaking up a fight and insisting that the innocent parties be let go gets him arrested—but the chain-smoking and often hot-tempered 21-year-old is no angel, either.

It’s this steady balance in the script (sometimes sad, sometimes joyful), characters (appealing but flawed), and relationships (butting heads with the ones you love) that makes Remember Me so impressive and, more important, enjoyable. It’s impossible to watch Tyler with Caroline or Ally without smiling. Twihards, at least those mature enough to get it, may be stunned seeing their dreamboat morphed into an actual person. The danger is that Team Edward will now expect more from him in the future, agreeing with Aiden when he scolds a sullen Tyler: “I’ve had enough of this brooding introvert shit.”

Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin become entwined in what you might call a romantic tragedy in Remember Me. It’s a New York City love story, and it evokes a feeling of familiarity: a young man who is emotionally cut off from the world and troubled by the hypocrisy of adults, madly devoted to his preternaturally talented younger sister, mourning a dead brother, rebelling against the privilege of his parents. It leads to an obvious question: OK, Mr. Catcher in the Rye, but does Pattinson take off his shirt?

Well, yes he does, although discreetly and mostly from behind. More to the point is that he emerges from the pupa of eternal life bestowed by his roles in Twilight and enters a different kind of deathlessness as an interesting young actor, able to show brooding introversion in a film in which one of his friends says, “I’ve had enough of this brooding introvert s—.” Not easy to get past, but Pattinson has exactly the kind of self-possessed uncertainty to negotiate it.

Remember Me is, in a way, a trick movie, built on stories of death that we know about from the beginning, but only come into play later. But that shouldn’t detract from something genuine about a movie that quotes from Gandhi (“Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it’s very important that you do it,”) and Greek mythology – not just to set a smart mood, but because they also have something to do with the story.
