Christina Ricci: "Rob is like your best friend's little brother" (Wait, what?)

Was Broadway always part of your plan?
No, I had terrible stage fright, so people eventually stopped bringing it up. But when I was coming back from making Bel Ami with Robert
Pattinson, my agent, who also represents Laura Linney, asked me if I
wanted to read for Time Stands Still, and I completely forgot I had
stage fright. Literally, walking home from the audition, I was like, Oh,
s***, I just remembered I hate acting in front of people. So now I’m
sort of ignoring it.

I love how casually you just namedropped R-Patz. Are you a Twilight fan?
OK, first of all, publicists train you to say your credits along with
your costars. You can’t be shy about self-promotion; it’s like Kathy
Griffin or something. [Laughs] I’m a very lazy pop culture fan—if it
involves leaving my living room, I’m pretty clueless—so I’ve never seen a
single Twilight movie, and I guess I missed it when it was on Starz.
But Rob’s a lovely individual.

Do you two share a love scene in Bel Ami?
We do. But he’s like your best friend’s little brother, so we would just
laugh and make fun of each other the entire time. He thought it was
outrageous how comfortable I was being naked. I was like, “That’s
because I’m 20 years older than you.” Seriously, I’ve never felt so old
in my entire life.

Lol! Well, okay, then!! Haha. Who's ready for Bel Ami? That's all I've got to say to that one....

I can't wait anymore, this is so excruciating!

Comment by jessica gallardo on September 13, 2010 at 11:12pm: i already read it cant wait

Comment by Malina on September 13, 2010 at 11:47pm: I have several things to say to this. #1 can not WAIT for this movie to come out! Love scenes + Rob = too much fun! LOL. #2 is she nuts? Like your best friends little brother? I mean, I am 34 and therefore 10 years older than Rob, but I would never ever think of him as a little brother type! LOL. Even though he is young, he seems like an old soul to me. Then again, I don't know him. Maybe that's the problem ;) #3 I sure hope I like Christina better after this movie. But, I doubt I will if she gets to be naked with Rob! LOL. I have never ever cared for her.

Comment by Eden Courtney on September 13, 2010 at 11:53pm: Christina Ricci is holding her "age" very well. I would never have guessed that she's 20 years older than RPattz. I'm not sure my heart is going to be able to stand seeing RPattz naked!!!!!! Yikes! But I'm going to see it if it's the "last" (**thud**) thing I do. LOL

Comment by juanita on September 14, 2010 at 2:24am: she was kidding about the age, she is only 6 yrs older than him.

Comment by April on September 14, 2010 at 2:48am: I don't think I really get what she means by being/feeling older ...maybe it's more like saying thats she is very comfortable in her skin?! She's naked alot in her last movies...
