Rob is “Terrified” of Playing A Father in ‘Breaking Dawn’

You have a western genre film project, “Unbound Captives,” in development. Why are you fascinated with westerns?
I grew up watching westerns. My dad’s favorite movies are all westerns. I hope that film happens. It’s such a complicated film to get together because it’s not really an action film or anything. It’s a slightly depressing romantic drama, half of which is in Comanche. It will definitely be different. My character is a massive stretch for me.

In “Breaking Dawn,” you become a father and Bella becomes a vampire bride. Do you have tips for Kristen on playing a vampire? Do you feel that you’re mature enough to play a dad?
It’s funny because I’m playing a dad in some scenes in “Breaking Dawn” and I’m portraying one in a movie I’m doing now as well. I’m terrified about doing it. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it comes to those scenes. I’ve been complaining so much about having the makeup on and contact lenses. Kristen is like, “You’re so pathetic. You have to just get over it. Why can’t you just get used to it?” [Now, since Kristen has to wear contact lens, too], I can finally be like, “You will know what it’s like. You’re going to be in constant aggravation the whole time.” Which is great.

What has so far been a life-changing experience for you?
My moving to secondary school. I was kicked out of my first school. There is a whole system of the schools in London where I went from one school to another and then to university. Everybody went to the same schools. But I got kicked out. I ended up going to an arts school which was probably the best thing that ever happened to me.

Why were you kicked out?
Secret (laughing).

Comment by Ana Cullen <3 on July 2, 2010 at 2:15pm: thats a nice picture

Comment by Brittany on July 2, 2010 at 2:29pm: oh my gosh that picture is so cute. I know it's a manip but its just a glimpse of what could be.

Comment by Ana Cullen <3 on July 2, 2010 at 2:31pm: i hope that pic can be part of the movie.

Comment by Aimzers on July 2, 2010 at 2:39pm: haha, he always says he is "terrified" but you'd never know it by looking on screen!

That manip is ADORABLE!! Although the baby is a little young ;)

Comment by Gloria Evans on July 2, 2010 at 2:55pm: OMG....i know this is a manip picture but there are no words. I hope we get to see them like this in the movie. I cant wait to see them parenting together.

Comment by imaGINAtion on July 2, 2010 at 3:01pm: ~unfortunately we won't see any parenting until part2 of BD. : (

Comment by Lindy Rosa Bella on July 2, 2010 at 3:01pm: Okay...that manip picture is a little off. We all know that Renesmee is not the average baby. She does not look like that when she's firstborn. But MAN am I excited to see her come to life with Edward and Bella!!!! OMG!!!! And Rob's just goofing. It's something new and it's pretty serious. But he and Kristen can most certainly pull it off.

Comment by Madeleine on July 2, 2010 at 3:03pm: Doesn´t Kristen already wear contacts?! She´s got brown eyes in all the movies, since Bella is supposed to have brown eyes.. Hm.. Any thoughts?
