Robert Pattinson Talks Expulsion

Former Twilight star Robert Pattinson recently sat down for an interview with the Howard Stern Show. Here are some highlights from his interview:

On not smiling enough in Twilight:
"If you're going into a relationship with someone, the way to make it really intense is if you can barely talk to each other, you can barely touch each other—it's incredibly serious all time. That's what teenage relationships are. But everyone kind of wanted it to be like, 'No they should just be like happy and having fun. That's what people want.' (The producers gave him a copy of the book with all the parts where Edward smiled highlighted.) I got a different kind of highlighter and highlighted all the times when he frowned. [My agents] flew up. [They] said you have to do the opposite of what you're doing now or you're going to be fired today...I came back after lunch and was like, 'Hi!' I was probably going a little too miserable, so there was some kind of compromise made." 

On the fandom not letting him live:
"It's one of the most frustrating things in the world...you kind of get stuck in this position where like people…you have to make these decisions, like whether you want to let the crazy people in. Basically, for whatever reason with Twilight, I don't know if it's a specific thing with the audience, but there's like a crap troupe of crazies who like think like every single decision you're making is either creating some kind of conspiracy and so, you kind of think, like, to protect it, you kind of think, I want to create a big boundary between it, but it makes it difficult for your actual relationship."

On getting expelled from school:
“I’ve never actually said this before. I was, like, stealing porno magazines and selling them at school. No one knew at all what to do with me. I would sell it for like 20 pounds … like 30 bucks...I used to go in and take like one or two and put them in my bag...I was in my school uniform when I was doing it, so it was kind of risky. But, then at the end, I got so cocky that I would take the entire rack and I got caught. A couple of days later, everything fell down. Basically, every single one of my friends snitched on me."
