EW's 25 Reasons Why Robert Pattinson Is Endearing


For our dear Rob's 25th birthday, EW.com put together the following list of 25 reasons of why he is endearing:

25. As you see above, he can pull off the same jacket as Ron Burgundy.
24. He writes his own music, but doesn’t shove his music career down our throats like other actors-turned-musicians.
23. In 2009, even he looked like he wasn’t sure why he was at the Academy Awards.
22. He — like President Obama, Martin Luther King, Jr., and George Washington — hasinspired a documentary.
21. He puts up with all the barbs about his bathing habits…
20. … and (bonus!) he does, in fact, shower.
19. But, still, he considers this a red carpet look.
18. Even he can’t help but love Reality Bites, despite the fact that it involves the word “bite.”
17. During my interview with him in 2008, Pattinson compared being followed by screaming teenage girls to being in the middle of a “Medieval Battle”…
16. …and he still wanted to tell them “it’s not worth it.”
15. Also, he freely acknowledged his “abnormally huge” head.
14. He’s become such a Hollywood mainstay, even my pop culture-adverse father emailed me one day to tell me that “Robert Patterson(?) is filming outside my building.”
13. Even Hollywood’s biggest It Boy felt uncomfortable at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A. “I feel judged!” he told EW’s Karen Valby. They relocated to a “low-rent heavy metal bar in West Hollywood.”
12. They drove to the bar in his $2,000 1989 BMW… which came complete with a broken roof and a dashboard that had caught on fire.
11. He saved us all — and his career — by not playing Kurt Cobain in a biopic.
10. Seven years before playing Reese Witherspoon’s lover in Water for Elephants, Pattinson was cast as Reese Witherspoon’s son in Vanity Fair (that hit the cutting room floor). Wait, that makes me feel even older.
