Landmark Sunshine Cinema and the Box. November 19, 2009. By Bennett Marcus
Do you like your new sex-symbol status? “I don’t know if I am, really. I kind of try and separate it. I always just sort of fit that with the character and stay separate from the whole thing ... or try to.” —Robert Pattinson
—Fergie
Have any of the Twilight moms ever tried to jump your bones? “No. We do get sent a lot of stuff. Actually, we have some talented fans. We get T-shirts, sweatshirts, DVDs, scrap books. It’s amazing. They’re really talented.” —Taylor Lautner
—Natalie Portman
—Ed Westwick
What’s the weirdest experience you’ve had with a fan? “The weirdest thing is just when people start crying. It just freaks me out. I’m like, ‘No, don’t do that, it’s all good.’” —Kristen Stewart
—Jessica Szohr
Do you have a lot of older women suddenly taking interest in you? “Yeah, a few pumas, a few cougars. You know, it’s always great when you get fan mail of one clothed picture and then on the back it’s quite the opposite. A Twilight mom once asked if she could lick my face, and I was like, uh, that’s all right.” —Kellan Lutz
—Taylor Momsen
—Joan Jett
Robert Pattinson said in an interview that he only changes his clothes once a week. Is he really smelly? “I think maybe out of a defense mechanism, I don’t sniff him. So I don’t know.” —Ashley Greene
—Mark Sanchez
What’s it like being a female in this movie, where the men are objectified? “I love that about this film. I suppose it’s nice to have all the attention thrown onto them, although it is interesting to have your entire fan base being young females.” —Nikki Reed
—Emma Roberts
Have you had any crazy Twilight fan experiences? “In New York, a woman came up to me and I was on the phone, and she said ‘Can I take your picture?’ And I said, ‘Let me finish this phone call.’ And then she started walking away, and I said, ‘I finished my phone call, do you want a picture?’ And she said, ‘No, it’s okay, it was for my dog.’ I still don’t know what that means.” —Peter Facinelli
—Abigail Breslin
Team Jacob or Team Edward? “Oh, every time I say that, the other team gets its knives sharpened for me. I’m Team Bella.” —Chris Weitz, Director
—Ivanka Trump
Do you like how this movie objectifies men rather than women? “I’m excited about it, because I’ve had to prance around in a bikini, and that’s very stressful, so I don’t mind not having to do that. But I think it’s a good sign that the men are running around with their shirts off and I’m in a turtleneck.” —Elizabeth Reaser
—Eric Mabius
Team Jacob or Team Edward? “I’d probably go more for Jacob. The abs, the shirt off, the rain coming down definitely did it for me. But I wouldn’t mind being a vampire.” —Lydia Hearst
—Alexa Chung
Your daughter is 16 years old. What will you do if she wants to date a vampire or a werewolf? “Well, I don’t mind. I’m okay with vampires. Werewolves, I don’t know.” —Howard Stern, with daughter Ashley Stern
—Agyness Deyn
—Jessica Stam
Team Jacob or Team Edward? “I’m Team Edward all the way. Because he’s just stunning.” —Amanda Setton
—Amber Rose
Are you a Twilight fan? “I can’t say that I am. But I have friends who are.” —Dan Abrams
