7 Times Robert Pattinson Was the Ultimate On-Screen Love Interest
When you think of treasured celebrities from the United Kingdom, people jump to the forefront of your mind like Harry Styles, the Spice Girls, Kit Harrington, and Robert Pattinson. It’s true that R-Patz hasn’t been as widely celebrated in the media since his time starring in the Twilight franchise (for shame), but we still have love for the Brit. Not only has he perfected the dewy-eyed pouty face that drove Twihards wild, but he’s proven his chops time and time again as a serious actor by totally nailing versatile roles. However, no film starring the English gentleman would be complete without a swoon-worthy love scene, so we’ve compiled Pattinson’s seven most swoon-worthy roles. Get thee to a couch and start downloading pronto (and don’t forget to break out your trusty Edward Cullen pillow…you don’t need to hide your love any longer).
1/7Cedric Diggory (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
Sometimes late at night, we whisper secret hexes to J.K. Rowling under our breath for killing off Cedric Diggory. Normally, we’d never speak an ill word about the queen of the Potterverse, but killing off Diggory was cruel and unusual — especially once Robert Pattinson was cast to bring him to life on the silver screen. As Cedric, Pattinson was confident, charismatic, and had undeniable chemistry with Cho Chang. And you swore you’d never fall for a Hufflepuff…
2/7Art (How To Be)
Even with an atrocious haircut and his musical skills played down, there’s something about Pattinson that makes your heart go all aflutter in this 2008 flick. How To Be was a British independent film that debuted shortly after the actor starred in Twilight. In the movie, we see a different, vulnerable, almost nerdy side of R-Patz that will make you want to call him up and tell him everything’s going to be ok.
3/7Salvador Dali (Little Ashes)
What could be sexier than Robert Pattinson with a mustache traipsing around the streets of Madrid and Paris?! NOTHING. In Little Ashes, our beloved Brit plays one of the most celebrated painters of all time, and the story focuses on the real-life tangled love triangle he left in his artistic wake. Le sigh.
4/7Edward Cullen (Twilight series)
Your usual type doesn’t sparkle in the sunlight or have fangs, but who wouldn't make an exception for Edward Cullen? The role that launched Pattinson to superstardom developed a bloodthirsty following that would mark him as an A-lister for the rest of his days. Even those “too cool” to see the movie in theaters secretly had posters of Robert as Edward Cullen pinned up in their rooms. If only you had made it to that Bella casting call before Kristen...
5/7Tyler Hawkins (Remember Me)
Do you have a thing for bad boys with hearts of gold? So do the thousands of viewers who loved Tyler Hawkins in Remember Me. Haven’t seen the movie? Prepare for Tyler to become your new problematic fave. He causes public scenes, breaks up fist fights on the street, doesn’t get along with his dad, and begins falling in love for all the wrong reasons.
6/7Jacob Jankowski (Water for Elephants)
The magic of the circus combined with Robert Pattinson’s sultry gaze is almost too much to take in Water for Elephants. Based on the bestselling novel, the story follows young Pattinson as he drops out of veterinary school and moves on to work as an animal keeper for the traveling circus. He falls in love with a married woman and also fuels his passion for working with animals, while butting heads with the fiery ringmaster. Old school clothes, romantic scenes with Reese Witherspoon, and magical twinkling lights will have you wishing you could run away with the circus, and R-Patz, too.
7/7Georges Duroy (Bel Ami)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ship Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman…or Robert Pattinson and Christina Ricci? In Bel Ami, you can have your cake and eat it too. Pattinson shines as Georges Duroy, a seductive soldier living in Paris during the 1880s who’s on a mission to up his social standings and secure his place in the world. Sacre bleu.
