Robert Pattinson's emo rejection

Robert Pattinson's emo rejection

Wednesday, 15 April 2009

Robert Pattinson doesn't believe that Edward Cullen is an emo.

The New Moon actor told Film.com: "I don't really know what emo is to be honest. Does it mean you're in touch with your emotions? I think he's kind of the opposite.

"He's spent his entire life repressing everything. He's kind of ashamed of himself when he lets his facade of formality break. When Bella comes into his life. He doesn't want to feel anything. He wants to make his world smaller and smaller because he doesn't feel like he belongs in it.

"He either want to be a human or die because his existence is completely pointless. That's why he doesn't talk to anyone. He doesn't really feel anything in the book apart from when Bella comes. He's literally counting the cracks in the wall and stuff.

"Every single day is exactly the same thing. If he feels anything he shuts it down immediately. He doesn't let himself feel anything at all, so I guess it's the opposite. Or he's a closet emo."
