What a heart-thRob


ROBERT Pattinson is arguably one of the biggest stars to have shaken up Hollywood and is the subject of almost every woman’s fantasy. In its March 1 issue, Galaxie takes a bite into the Pattinson phenomenon to uncover the man behind the vampire.

In terms of success, Pattinson has hit the jackpot. He appeared in a relatively small role in the Harry Potter franchise and was killed off in the end, yet after Twilight – in which he played the decade-old vampire Edward Cullen – Pattinson now generates more star power than Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint combined.

However, despite his status as a Hollywood “it” boy, Pattinson remains unaffected by the magnitude of his star power.

Many people have never failed to mention that on meeting Pattinson, they find themselves confronted by a huge celebrity who is totally laid-back, relaxed and unassuming.

“It’s strange because I don’t really know what my everyday life is. When you’re on a set, it doesn’t really matter if you’re famous or not because you’re doing the same thing,” Pattinson revealed in an exclusive interview with Galaxie’s US correspondent Philip Berk.

“You wake up at 5am and you go home very rarely. All I want to do when I’m not working is to go to bed. On movie promo trips, all I really get to see are a lot of nice bathrooms in hotels around the world.”

His ability to remain unfazed by fame and fortune has endeared Pattinson to the media, co-stars and the millions of people who idolise him. And even if he has admitted to having awful hygiene habits, everybody wants a piece of the heart-throb who is blazing his way through box-office glory.

This issue of Galaxie also sizzles with exposés on some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Kristen Stewart, Galaxie observes, has no problems stripping, while a Heroes’ star gets busted and Matthew McConaughey has to go without sex for 40 days.
