Robert Pattinson thinks highly of Jennifer Lawrence. The actor praised the Oscar-winner in a new interview.
‘She’s amazing. She’s absolutely incredible,’ he said. ‘But also we’re different types of people. She seems like she’s super-confident and I don’t have the kind of confidence. She glows. I think you can fit that into quite a few different areas. Whereas I’ve got a kind of sneak-through-the-cracks style.’
Pattinson also talked about the burden of Twilight. ‘There’s been a lot of hate, actually. Honestly, though, I don’t understand the backlash against Twilight. The first movie, everyone liked it. But then it was suddenly. I don’t quite get why people turned on the other ones. There are plenty of successful franchises which everyone accepts. But for some reason there were all these political arguments against.
 People saying, ‘Oh, it’s a bad example for women’. Blah, blah, blah. As if we were all a bunch of dumbasses. We’re not playing it that way! That’s purely your interpretation! We’re not trying to make a movie about subservient female characters at all
‘In a lot of ways, people have decided what Twilight is about before they’ve even thought about it, and then they’ve labeled us, the actors, as part of whatever that may be. Even the sparkling thing. I get so many sparkly criticisms.
‘But I don’t actually remember a moment of in any of the movies where I sparkle. Maybe one second in the first one. It’s like, really? All these fanboys are like, ‘You’re sparkling!’ And I’m like, ‘Really? You must have freeze framed that one second.’ It’s just the idea of sparkling—people lost their minds over it.’
