Lee MacDougall talks about Rob and the song he wrote for him, "How To Be"

Who wrote 'Falling In Love for the Last Time'?
Me!

Who is laughing in the end of "falling in love for the last time" itunes Version?
That's my friend Rob. He's doing the backing vocals too..

What is your reaction to people that believe that Robert Pattinson composed/wrote the song ''Falling in love for the last time"?
It's a great romantic story, and I'm all for great romantic stories. I've heard people are saying that to some of their fans, it has become a sort of Rob and Kristen theme tune. I love that! They are two incredibly talented people who to their fans seem to symbolize a sort of modern day Romeo and Juliet or something. Fans want to believe in their heroes. I know because I've been there. I can kinda see how it started, I was hanging out with Rob a lot at the time and I did write my song "How To Be" for him. Though to be honest I don't really mind what people say as long as they're enjoying my music and judging by the amazing response it's had so far that seems to be the case.

Note via alexandra1116: "Jsyk, the guy who was doing the backing vocals at Lee's gig last week is also called Rob, so he may not be referring to RP in that sentence."

This is the song Lee is talking about (via twilightus)

TheCelebrityCafe.com Reviews 'How To Be'

Okay, I admit it: I’m a Robert Pattinson fan. And it’s not because I admire his creatively gelled hair (although it is impressive), or because I can’t get enough of Twilight (I haven’t read the books). I’m a Robert Pattinson fan because not so long ago—before he starred in Twilight, or lifeless flicks like Remember Me—he made a wonderful film called How to Be. It’s a film so good—and one which he is so good in—that I’m still waiting for him to take a break from playing James Dean wannabees, and return to his How to Be greatness.

Pattinson plays Art, a twenty-something going through a quarter-life crisis. When his girlfriend dumps him and he moves back in with his parents, he’s got nothing going for him except his songwriting and his job at the local supermarket. The problem is, he’s not very good at either one. After he discovers a self-help book called It’s Not Your Fault, he spends his inheritance and hires the book’s elderly author to move in with him and become his life coach.

If the setup sounds similar to something you’ve seen in any number of films about “the misunderstood outsider who discovers what life is all about,” I’ll ruin the surprise and let you know: How to Be is not that movie, and Art is not your typical misunderstood antihero.

Art wants to be a musician, but doesn’t have much talent. He wants to be close to his parents, but he doesn’t have anything in common with them. He thinks he’s depressed, but he’s really just in a rut.

It’s hard to articulate what makes this film so great. For one, there’s the music. Despite Art’s lack of musical talent, the film has a killer soundtrack. The songs in How to Be do something akin to what Sufjan Stevens’ music did for Little Miss Sunshine. They are playful and wink at the audience, letting us know that Art’s on screen melodramatics are meant to be played for laughs, not tears.

Then there’s Pattinson’s British accent. Other than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this is the only film to date where he gets a chance to play an Englishman and speak in his true accent. His American accent, though technically good, tends to sound stilted. In How to Be, Pattinson’s voice has a range that is usually stifled by his impassive characters and their American accents.

Finally, there’s Art himself, who is disarmingly disheveled. His clothes are either too big or too small. He eats brimming bowls of cereal that overflow onto the table. His hair is long, uncombed, and not mussed up by a professional stylist. Basically, the poor guy just can’t get it together.

Pattinson aptly embodies Art’s disheveled state. Maybe it’s because this is pre-millionaire, pre-magazine cover boy Pattinson, but there is something different about this performance. It’s more genuine, more creative, and less encumbered than ones he’s given since.

Writer and director Oliver Irving told PopMatters in 2009 that he was working on his second film, which would be about two female scientists. I’ll be watching for that one.

As for Pattinson, I’m still rooting for him. Here’s to hoping he can parlay his fame into working with more talents like Irving, who want to cast Robert Pattinson the actor, not Robert Pattinson the sex symbol or Robert Pattinson the brooding introvert.

The Evolution of Robert Pattinson

The hair! The abs! The jaw! Patz through the ages...

Vanity Fair (2004)

Your big break, and your scenes are left scorching the editing room floor. That’s Hollywood for you! 

Mr Pattinson's first major role saw him appearing in the updated, Reese Witherspoon-headed Vanity Fair as Rawdy Crawley.

His big moment comes in the graveyard scene, where he pouts and looks generally moody and miffed, frilled up something chronic. You can find it in the DVD’s deleted scenes.

The Do: The famous quiff puts in an early appearance, though the do’s shorter than usual.

Ring Of The Nibelungs (2004)

TV flick that used Norse mythology as a springboard for a lot of chatter about Dragon-Slaying and the like. Pattinson's fee funded his tuition at the Harrodian School in barnes.

R-Patz is Giselher, the king’s brother, who stows away on a voyage to Iceland. He wears a lot of Medieval-type clothing, and a lot of leather. There is actually smiling involved, which is a shock for anybody who’s not seen anything of Pattinson pre-Twilight.

The Do: It’s mullet time! Long, blonder than ever, and very pretty indeed. Nasty fringe, though.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (2005)

Nabbing a role in The Little Franchise That Could, Pattinson plays Cedric Diggory (or should that be Deadric?), the famously tragic figure who falls at the hand of You-Know-Who.

His performance landed him the British Star of Tomorrow award from The Times, and by all accounts Patz had a good time filming how to scuba dive for the part. Oh, and he lied in his audition, saying that he loved football so he’d get the role. Bad boy.

The Do: Posh, side-swept boys’ school look befitting of somebody called Cedric. It’s about as dangerous as a kitten in a bow.

The Haunted Airman (2006)

R-Patz finds his way around a wheelchair for another TV movie, based on Dennis Wheatley’s ‘40s occult thriller, The Haunting Of Toby Jugg.

At the time, it was a fresh, riveting idea. A disabled British airman recovers from his time in battle. Pattinson’s version was funded by the BBC and aired on BBC4 in October 2006. His performance won fans in The Stage mag, who credited his performance, which incorporated “youthful terror and world weary cynicism”.

The Do: The Cedric do’s still there. Eee, isn't he posh?

The Bad Mother's Handbook (2007)

Another TV film, this one alongside Catherine Tate for ITV. It’s an adaptation of the bestseller of the same name by Kate Long. He plays the boyfriend of Holly Grainger’s Charlie, whose only gone and got herself pregnant.

Stateside, ABC are planning their own TV series based on the book, with the decidedly more glamorous Alicia Silverstone to star. We doubt Patz will be involved.

The Do: Oh dear God, make it stop! Painfully floppy curtains render R-Patz nothing more than a big, walking night-hair. Needs a serious trim.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (2007)

Wait just one cotton picking minute, didn’t Patz die in the lastHP outing? Ah, sorry Patties, there’s no resurrection for his manly Deadric. He just appears in a photograph.

It’s little more than a cameo, but a sweet one at that.

“Sometimes I think, ‘To hell with acting,’” the actor says. “And then I realize I could be working at a shoe shop. Acting is much cooler.”

The Do: A repeat of the young, gentlemanly cut he favoured inGoblet Of Fire.

The Summer House (2008)

A short film from the London Academy, Summer Housemight as well have been the role that convinced the Twilightproducers that he was right for Edward Cullen.

After all, he plays a dark, persuasive stalker-type who falls head-over-heels in love with a dark-haired young lady and tries everything to woo her. He’s got a bit of a Hollywood tan here; lovely.

The Do: Still long, sort of a cross between the remains of a dead rat and an aging rocker.

How to Be (2008)

Patz shows off his skill with a guitar playing the odd-named Art (we’re guessing that’s short for Artemidoros or Arthgallo), a sort of transient low-life who means well, but seems to end up annoying everybody despite himself.

It was first released at the IFC Festival in April 2009 after having been on a screening tour. Patz won a Best Actor award at the Strasbourg Film Festival.

The Do: Dreadful! Curtains are worse than their debut in Bad Mother’s Handbook, and the eyebrows are out of control.

Little Ashes (2008)

Pattinson stretches those acting chops and makes out with a boy. In your face, Bella.

He plays infamous boundary-busting artist Salvador Dalí in the 1922-set tale, who allegedly had a gay affair with poet Federico García Lorca while studying at university in Madrid. There’s a bit where he puts his thing between his legs like Buffalo Bill in The Silence Of The Lambs.

It has been nominated for a prize at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

The Do: It’s all about that crazy moustache and the greasy, slicked back hair.

Twilight (2008)

Hard to believe that there was a Twi-hard outcry when news of Pattinson’s casting was first announced. He beat 3,000 brooding hopefuls to the role.

Pattinson says the film “is a metaphor for the virtues of chastity, but it's had the opposite effect. I get letters that say, ‘I'm going to kill myself if you don't watch High School Musical 2 with me.’ It's a little nuts.” Poor Patz.

The Do: That’s more like it. Patz finds his trademark do and makes teenage boys go running to the ‘dressers while forgetting how they took the piss out of the girls for doing the same with The Rachel.

New Moon (2009)

A diminished role for the first Twilight sequel, as Edward dumps his beloved Bella and she goes off with some wolf fella who hates wearing shirts.

It’s Patz’s favourite book in the series. He reportedly refused to have his unruly eyebrows waxed as much as in the first film.

Rumours persist that he and co-star Kristen Stewart are having a secret affair. Nobody’s talking – they don’t even talk to each other in public much.

The Do: A slightly longer, slightly darker variant on the original (to make him a bit grumpier, maybe).

Remember Me (2010)

This is the flick that Patz was filming when he was hit by a car attempting to escape screaming fans. During a break in shooting, he attempted to get away from over-zealous nutjobs and got clipped by a car. Luckily he was fine.

Hollywoodland director Allen Coulter helms this indie romance, in which moody 21-year-old Tyler (Patz) falls in love with Ally (Emilie de Ravin), who lives each day as if it were her last after witnessing her mother’s murder. Cheery stuff.

The Do: He’s found his style now, rocking the short look and making us all look damned unfashionable

How To Be audition

What a treat...Rob's How To Be audition tape.  Its so cool to see what he was like outside of Twilight (other than Harry Potter).
Robert Pattinson EXCLUSIVE! Check Out His Full Audition Tape For 'How To Be'
On Friday we told you about Access Hollywood's teaser look at 20-year-old Robert Pattinson's audition tape for the 2008 quirky comedy "How To Be," but today we have for you all eight minutes (see the first minute after the jump) of the full audition, which is included on the film's DVD (out November 17).

In the first clip of three from our exclusive, Rob has a back and forth unhappy banter with a woman whose character is named Jessica in what seems like a break up scene. "How To Be" is about how Rob's character Art moves back in with his parents and hires a full-time self-help guru after said break up.

In the British accent we miss so much in "Twilight," Rob addresses Jessica and asks, "What if I told you something about my childhood? Maybe you'll understand. Maybe you'll reconsider."

She replies with, "But this about us now. It's just not working. When we first met you seemed so elusive and brooding and intense: the enigmatic poet. What I took to be really deep and mysterious has turned out to be just sad and unhappy."

We begin to understand why they might be having some issues when he responds with, "Well at least I'm not a f---ing bitch."

Rob seems just as uncomfortable in front of the audition camera as he is in front of the paparazzi; always aware of it yet never looking directly at it. We're sure the awkward facial expressions he was making were only to add life to the lack of set, and hopefully didn't make it into the film.

After a bit more back and forth, he angrily tells her, "No, you're not ready for this kind of commitment," but then seems to trip over his lines and breaks out into laughter, asking if he can start the scene over again.

How To Be audition

How To Be will feature Rob's audition tape.  I look forward to seeing this, I'm sure its good.  Don't know about you but I wanna see his Twilight audition.

Robert Pattinson's Pre-'Twilight' Audition Tape For 'How To Be': Check Out A Preview

When a 20-year-old Robert Pattinson auditioned for the role of Art, a struggling singer/songwriter, in the indie comedy"How to Be," he certainly had personal experience to bring to the character. Though the British actor had appeared in the "Harry Potter" franchise, he had not yet broken through to superstardom, as he would after being selected to become Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" franchise.

Thus the audition footage that accompanies the upcoming "How to Be" DVD — and which Access Hollywood posted a short clip of on Thursday — is a fascinating insight into the way RPattz's life used to be, as well as the process by which he creates a character.

The clip shows a scraggily-haired Rob in a t-shirt as he tries multiple characterizations of Art to nail some dialogue. He shifts from dejected and insecure to goofy and bemused, attempting to find the most suitable approach for a scene in which Art visits his childhood bedroom.

"I feel it's all wrong," he confesses at one point.

When he goes for a slapsticky entrance into the room, someone off screen quickly instructs, "OK, stop!"

Another scene shows Rob's nose stuffed with tissue to simulate how Art would deliver lines after getting beat up. In the movie, Art is suffering after a breakup and decides to move back in with his parents and hire a full-time self-help guru to help him work through the pain.

"How to Be" premiered on demand on IFC Festival Direct in April 29, a day after the release of the soundtrack, featuring three original tunes from Robert. The DVD, which includes the entire audition tape, is set for a November 17 release, strategically three days before the theatrical opening of"New Moon," the second of Pattinson's "Twilight" films.

Good news though: You'll be able to see the entire 8-minutes of Robert's audition right here on Hollywood Crush in the coming weeks before the DVD's release. So stay tuned!

Rob singing in How to Be

I am quite certain that I watch this movie at least once a week. Right now at least. It is just sooo cute!! This is actually one of my favorite scenes in the movie. Just because I can totes picture Rob standing in the bathroom at a press junket or award show or whatever, just telling himself that he's awesome, there is no need to panic, that everyone wants to see him naked because he is just THAT good looking. It just really does seem like such a Rob trait!!

So if you haven't seen the movie, then I hope you enjoy this clip, and enjoy the wonderfulness that is Rob's voice.

xoxo.
Rachel.
