Robert Pattinson and Hugh Jackman are set to star in Unbound Captives together and to bond beforehand they decided to do some drunk karaoke:

“We went karaoke singing,” he laughs. “We were singing Abba songs, it was pretty funny. It was sort of an Abba song sing-off, you know, last man standing.”

Who won?

“I think he did, only because he can drink more than me and still sing in tune. He’s a cool guy and I’m really looking forward to that film.”

Despite it being almost a year since Twilight has been out, when asked how he is coping with the hysteria and fame he says:

“All right, I hope.  It’s still sort of new.”  

“To be honest, I still don’t really understand what’s going on,” he says. “Like yesterday, I was having lunch down the road. We were in this place for a couple of hours and suddenly there was like 400 people outside on the street. It was just so nuts and it’s like that all the time now.”

With Taylor Lautner being the central focus of New Moon, Robert hasn’t decided how he will cope with the next Twilight instalment:

“When the second one comes out, then I’ll see how I am. Mostly I can ignore things to quite a big extent and kind of pretend they’re not really happening,” he says, sounding eerily calm.

“I just don’t take any of it seriously. It’s just a job and while it’s a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can’t get a date.”

He’s looking in all the wrong places.  If he likes older women, just fill out my contact form on this site Edward.  I mean Robert.

Filming New Moon was much easier on him:

“I’m not the lead in the second film. Taylor [Lautner] is.” He grins idiotically. “I appear in Bella’s dreams. So I’m in it but the focus is not on me. I just have significant moments at the beginning … and the end. So I’m more of a supporting role in this one, which is why I felt so free. I didn’t have to deal with any of the bullshit of the first one. I don’t have to hold the movie or worry about the fans. I think I did it better without all those pressures.”

He regrets recording two of the songs on the Twilight soundtrack:

“When the first film came out I felt like a complete tosser,” he says. “It looked like I was trying to be cool or something, like Eminem. You know, be in a movie and then do a song for the soundtrack. But I didn’t look cool, I just looked ridiculous.”

I think there are millions of girls and guys who would disagree.  For the rest of the interview, go here.
