Robert Pattinson is way cooler than Edward Cullen.

He's really, really funny.  So funny that I've almost managed to block out the memory of the infamous EW cover*:

And from FEARnet's interview:

When you were cast and read the book did you think, “Well I’m really beautiful so I’ll be good at this?”

LeFevre: (laughs) Yeah he just looked in the mirror and was like, “It’s in the bag.”

Pattinson: No, I mean that’s kind of why I was kind of tortured before the casting. I read the book and was like “Well this is really dumb I’ll never ever… this is so pointless going up for the role.” Which is what a lot of the fans said, after I was initially cast. They were like “He wasn’t even on the shortlist!” It is kind of weird. I’ve spent a long time thinking, “How can I take the whole beautiful thing as an interpretation?” And I realized that it’s just Bella saying he’s so beautiful and she’s just in love with him and obsessed with him so he could be like a piece of cheese and she would think the same thing.

"he could be like a piece of cheese" HA!

I'm liking him so much better after the bits you've posted (although why did he keep touching his hair in that video?)

[Nic Dempsey]

Nice English boys do that when they are nervous....really

[sammy]

I was actually rather shocked to find that he had so much hate-mail and then he gets bombarded by 6,500 fan at Comic-con LOL =). I wish i had been there. But anyway he is fit I remember when I first watched Harry Potter & the GOF and he came in... *sigh*. As long as he's done his hair or else it usually looks like he just tumbled out of bed. =D

Wow I haven't been on bookshelves in a long time. It was scary to see how our opinions are about Twilight and the terrible EW cover.
Breaking Dawn was the best! I can't wait for the movie!
I promise to be on more!

Robert Pattinson is indeed vastly superior to Edward Cullen. Because he actually has a personality.

[Ariel]

Dear God, that cover!! He looks like he rolled around in flour for an hour.

[Natasha]

Rob could kick Edward's ass anyday.

[jessica]

[hayden222]

[Dakotah]

HAHAHA i love Robert Pattinson lol he has a funny personality and omg how can fans think he is a bad Edward Cullen he is Perfect!!!!!!! Robert IS A BABE!!!! lol

[angel]

I too love robert pattinson, he is the most amazing person person I have ever seen in you tube (LOL)
I don't Know exactly why but every interview I've seen of him makes me fall for him even more...I think it's his humour and the way he seems so down to earth and at the same time so gorgeous inside out, what can I say, he really lives up to his character of Edward Cullen, he DAZZLES me everyday...
sigh :)

[Misty ANN]

Edward= Robert Pattinson, the perfect being, musical, humble, talented, sensitive, funny list of his qualities are endless...Robert Pattinson...marry me!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

[pat]

You guys should all calm down, all this is a big distraction from things that are really important, stop checking the web for news of him and just focus on more meaningful things like, school and family...let's all get a life

[Cq]

Oh shut up, if they want to think about Robert let them. Have you ever heard of multi-tasking. Its not a crime to check about things for him on the news. Its not like they sit in their rooms all day dreaming about them. Ugh I simply hate people who feel the need to tell people to live their lives...worry about your own..!

[Cee-Cee]

I actually think Rob looks better as edward because with his hair done it looks much better because hes always messing it up for some reason anyway 2 get to the point i think hes pretty talented, hot, and i luv his brittish accent! =}

[Ellen and Lois of London.]

Ah he is so gorgeous, absolutely fab. Ellen says she'll shag him ROFL.

I, on the otherhand, am sensible, mature and have a sense of stability whereby i have control over my LOVE of him.

Born and bread walking talking evidence of South East London beauty (Ok, only joking). We love you Robert.

We love his british accent too. Although it is strangely familiar to us. Ellen talks like a man so she has his angelic voice.

[morgan]

omg robert and edward are hot i like edward more like his hair but robert's personality is so much better and his accent is so cute! i cant stop watching videos of his i mean he is so fricken HOT!!!!!!!!!

[just a girl whos' been in love with Rob, or infuacated or have an obercrush that's building since No]

omigosh, omigosh, I'm likeing Rob more (he really stop his bahd aibts nad not have premarital sex) I'm a christian. but he's ispretty funny, naratuarlly charming. I think and he kristne steeart shoudld date each other. hje's tlantend make a greats Edward. I want to see in little ashes butt it's rated r. I would dates(as long as he's christna so I think he is) and If I wastj ust bit odler and he was in town. I would be so happy t o pose iwth Rob or he wapreed hi arm around evne (even it's just ofr thpe ohto) or we hang out, or he kissed me (even it just's on the cheek, I'd be happy), so that bieng said, I wish Rob would sotp haivng sex before marraige a if he ss done, and tlel the tiwlgith starts tp stop bad habits guy. oh by the wya, yourfalre life with God and Jesus is imporant. I jsut pretend that the vmapires, are huams iwth condtion where they superhuam abltiles, porlogned lfie span(but not immortal) (eo have soul, they do but some belive they don't), sotp aging and sparkle. h'es bristh and he loos khort iwth his buzz cut. he's learning spanish yay!

not only he's good looking but rob pattinson really seems to have a very good personality from the looks and sound of his interviews. he seems very shy,down to earth,sensitive and very humble...all in all a very nice guy. would be nice to get to know him and be friends with him in real life. would be cool to find out if he really is everything what everyone thinks he is. that would be cool! my favorite thing about him is that he always seems very reluctant(from the shyness maybe).. but what i love about him is ...he is such a BABBLER... he doesn't seem to know what to say most of the time (ah, umm, i dunn know).....so very cute!!!
this is a cool site by the way

[pheobs]

i think he is mindblowing!! why do people keep saying jacob is hot when the real prince is edward(robert pattinson) so what jacob has the body, edward has the HAIR!!!! i love him. all my friends call me mrs cullen and i am proud!!!
