Robert Pattinson, sitting next to Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, took part in a panel "discussion" at the official The Twilight Saga: Eclipse convention held in Century City this past weekend. Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner were there on Saturday.
In the clip above, Pattinson explains that something like the Twilight Saga’s popularity "gives you hope to think that — this is so lame — … that there are still a lot of people in the world who really want to … desperately want to keep real romance alive."
Pattinson’s remarks are followed by loud, wild, uncontrollable screaming. Perhaps that’s some people’s idea of keeping "real romance alive." Perhaps that’s their way of agreeing with what he said: instead of applauding, they scream until they go hoarse. Or perhaps those fans just needed any excuse they could get to vent their excitement at being in the same room with their idol.
Kristen Stewart didn’t scream. I don’t know if she wants real romance dead or what, but she just fidgeted with her hair and looked very intensely at her hands. Taylor Lautner looked amused — it’s unclear looking at this video if Lautner’s amusement was a result of what Pattinson said or the reaction that followed.
"I’m serious!" Pattinson exclaimed. "We live in an age where everything looks kinda lame and everybody is cynical and you see what Twilight fans [?] … You know, everybody loves this stuff because of the relationship between people that are completely in love with each other."
Someone then hollers: "WE LOVE YOU ROB!!" More loud, wild, uncontrollable screaming follows.
I wish I were a lip reader. Stewart says something to Pattinson at that point ("Damn, I forgot my earplugs"??), but her remark is inaudible thanks to all the screaming.
Lautner then says that what he has learned from this Twilightastic experience is to "stay true to yourself and not let anything change who you are," adding that Stewart and Pattinson haven’t changed a bit since the first movie. Pattinson retorts that neither has Lautner, who then exclaims, "This is a love fest in this room!"
More like a scream fest, as more loud shrieking followed that remark.
Whether you love, hate, or is indifferent to Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, or the Twilight books and movies, this video is a hilarious must.
And believe it or not, this is history in the making. Two, four, ten, twenty centuries from now, if clips such as these (and human beings) are still around, they’ll serve as samples of popular culture and modes of behavior in the early 21st century. I’m not kidding.
Actually, kristen was trying to stop rob from even talking about the romance bit and when the crowd started screaming he hit kristen arm like he was trying to tell her he was on the right track and it was ok, like people were getting into it! but she just did not want him to talk about it and when he mentioned the two people in love she really looked down and started getting all shy about it and that is when everyone started with the aww… for kristen! I think he wanted to address the fans and let them know he understands why they are so into him and kristen due to everything that is bad going on and he loves that others just like him want to keep real romance alive and he appreciates the love. and I also think he was talking about kristen and his relationship and how obessed the fans are with them. but it was cool! just to loud!
>>>>>Kristen hater! You are on the list, Mr. Gille.
Uh-oh! (running for cover)
Kristen hater! You are on the list, Mr. Gille.
All kidding aside Kristen looked lovely, she smiled, and made lots of jokes at the convention. She and Taylor will be heating up Sweden and Rome next. No one takes Pattinson seriously. The audience laughed even when he wasn’t making a joke.
No “Kristen hate” intended.
Not sure where you saw that. I was joking around about the earplugs and her looking at her hands.
But I think Pattinson “hit” her because of something she said to him. That’s the impression I got from the other Twi-convention clip I posted this morning.
I agree with this article minus the kristen hate, she was just nervous and you forgot to mention rob hit kristen arm and she at that point got nervous and everyone said awe and she really put her head down. in my mind he was refering to him and kristen and letting them know this and when taylor got in on that love train…. history was made! and he said rob and kristen have not changed at all! and you can see that!! I wish people let them be happy and love each as they see fit not as some would want! because I was at the twi convention and they truly have eyes for each other, which ever way that is for them… it’s real!
This is a much better video of that lovely speech: http://www.youtube.com/user/ClarksonRK#p/a/u/1/DesUhhYR5OU
