Twilight Saga fans are in for a major shock this spring: Robert Pattinson will appear on the big screen in a very un-Edward-like role.
As Tyler in Remember Me, Pattinson fights with his (human) father, deals with a tragedy and falls for a blonde.
The actor spoke about the role in a new interview, explaining what drew him to the character:
“I remember reading the script and thinking that I like the flow of the dialogue. It was just different and in a lot of ways, other lead male characters in other films seem like just a vessel: naive and ridiculously innocent, so audiences could feel along with him. But Tyler didn’t feel like that."
While this drastic change to Robert's on-screen persona might be jarring, have no fear: the guy is still smokin hot. As proof, we present a pair of recently-leaked outtakes from a photo shoot with Entertainment Weekly:
Because it's always more fun to look at Pattinson than merely read his quotes, check out the aforementioned interview below.
