Rob Pattinson must be keeping the magazine industry afloat, because here he is, gracing the cover of yet another glossy, and this time it’s AnOther Man. New Moon doesn’t come out for another 6 weeks (sigh), so we’ll take all the Rob we can get!
DazedDigital previews issue 9 of AnOther Man out on October 1, which features Robert Pattinson on the cover, shot by Hedi Slimane and styled by Nicola Formichetti. Dave Calhoun speak to the 23-year-old Twilight star about the pressures of fame and the craft of acting: “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
In the rest of the issue, Dennis Hopper speaks to Tim Blanks about his new collection of photography and his point of view of the counterculture of the 1960s. Alex Marashian meets David de Rothschild, the banking heir who wants to revolutionise shipbuilding. There are also boundary-breaking fashion stories by the world’s top stylist and photographers including Alister Mackie, Norbert Schoener, Gareth McConnell, Bryan McMahon and Serge Leblon.
“AnOther Man speaks to the ‘other’ man, a man not being catered to currently by fashion magazines. AnOther Man mixes credible modern icons with art, music, high impact fashion photography and strong opinionated writing by key cultural voices. A magazine for men who like their lifestyle rocked with passion and intelligence, luxury and a sense of adventure.”
Editor In Chief, Jefferson Hack
Here is an excerpt from the Robert Pattinson feature written by Dave Calhoun.
Was Pattinson aware of the loyalty of fans of the Twilight books? It looks like the sort of obsessive fandom that can turn into anger and even hatred when an adaptation isn’t to their liking. Did he know what he was letting himself in for? “It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London. I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all. I’d seen Kristen Stewart in Into the Wild and some of the director Catherine Hardwicke’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small.”
His manner is very laid back. He doesn’t sound thrusting or ambitious, more like he’s just going with the flow and enjoying things. Is he going to harness his newfound fame and box-office appeal to approach the kind of filmmakers he wants to work with in the future? He’s not so sure. “Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do.” But he knows what he doesn’t need. “I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”
Issue 9 of AnOther Man will be on sale in the UK on October 1st
We took on the daunting task of narrowing down the 5 Reasons to Love Robert Pattinson and we followed up by heavily researching the 5 Reasons to Love Taylor Launter which was a steamy task. To connect the sides of the on screen love triangle we are ready to examine the 5 Reasons to Love Kristen Stewart. In a world where beauty is defined by pop culture and self-doubt is lurking behind every corner, it is hard to stay disciplined and display confidence. Kristen Stewart has always been unapologetic about what she says and how she says it. While many outright are off put by this display of self-assurance, we should take note and praise her for her bravery to speak her mind.
The articulate, well read Stewart was sucked into a whirlwind when she was cast as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga. Fans crept out of all ends of the world and were dying to get a piece of the seasoned Hollywood actress. The most seasoned actor could not have prepared Stewart for the 180 degree change that was made of her life after taking that role.
Over the past two years we have all seen a piece of ourselves in Kristen Stewart which allows us to relate to her, learn from her and admire her even more. There are many reasons to love The Twilight Saga: New Moon actress and we are ready to explore the Top Five.
1. Strong-Willed. If anything, Kristen Stewart is strong-willed and focused on her beliefs. This refreshing attitude makes Stewart an incredible role model for women all around the world. She shows us how to be strong, how to stand your ground, and never waver on your own personal values.
2. Goofy. We are all goofy in our own way; whether we are The Class clown or the klutz we can all relate to Stewart because of this. Whether she is cracking jokes in interviews or dropping trophies at award shows, Stewart is never afraid to let her inner goof shine through which is really spectacular.
3. Intelligent. Being smart is so cool and that message is not displayed enough in Hollywood. Whenever Stewart has a chance she is always talking about her favorite books and what she is currently reading. Brining Steinbeck back to life, Stewart has made it cool to read again and that deserves major props!
4. Dedicated. Stewart is dedicated to her craft and it is amazing to see her throw herself into the characters she portrays on the big screen. Not only did she bring the beloved Bella Swan to life, this past summer she brought back the love for 80’s while portraying Joan Jett in The Runaways. Her work is flawless and that is because she spends hours preparing and dedicating time to her craft.
5. Bella Swan. Let’s be honest, we love Kristen Stewart because she simply is the best version of Bella Swan that we could imagine. Bringing Bella to life was a daunting task, but Stewart did it with grace, passion, and perfection.
