Is Rob Leo 2.0?

Twilight

Twilight

Seeing Twilight hunk Rob Pattinson getting swarmed by paps (and fans begging for autographs) at the airport the other day, one immediately flashes back to the late 90s when the same thing was happening to Leonardo DiCaprio after the monster success of Titanic...

Rob has arguably reached a level of global stardom even higher than Zac Efron! Whether it's the film franchise or the actor himself is irrelevant: Pattinson has just as much international media coverage as Brangelina, Britney and Madonna these days. Check out his mag covers from this week alone:

Think he's prepared for all this? After all, how much preparation can you do for something so unexpected!



Wonder if it bothers him that he can't keep his romantic relationships private now either...

no he isn't. he walked into this role thinking it would be a unknown movie with a very small cult following. he was very wrong and i feel bad for him. he had no idea what he was getting into.

i hope he doesn't turn into an a-hole or go crazy from all the attention

although i would understand if he did.

I feel bad for him. Peopel are saying he's dating people he's not...they are shoving cameras in his face. so far he's taking it like a champ but he'll retreat to London soon enough. He's a great actor so hopefully he'll stay humble.



Posted by: Anonymous

after looking at all the pictures there are a couple of shots where it looks like he'd rather be dead then have his picture taken..please don't throw him over the edge like that...if you have any common decency..(which you don't, we've seen it before with britney and lindsay) you'll leave him alone.

DAMN THAT ONE GUY HAD HAD THE CAMERA 3 INCHES FROM HIS FACE!

omg leave Robert alone,he's such a nice guy...i'm really worried about his mental health,fuc***g paps!



Posted by: Anonymous

wow I didn't realize bonquisha could make a comment that didn't involve the words "pasty" and "pale" let alone sympathize with a "cracker".

good for you.



Posted by: I am not famous..........thank god....

I would sooo not want to be him right now....hopefully he can recover like Leo and be Oscar worthy.....or then again...go through a stream of supermodels...and become an utter minge!! Good luck bloke.......



Posted by: tonja

Im so sick of this guy.



Posted by: Anda

No - he's not Leo 2.0 because Leo is good-looking. This loser cannot compare to Leo - he looks like a muppet in human form - his face is weird. He's only popular because the Twilight books are so important to the teeny bopppers.
This bi%tch is not hot - he's effing pale and has a large nose. Please stop fawning over him - he's not that great.
Leo is much hotter than this stupid guy.

How can anyone SO ugly get so much attention. Little girls must really think he's Edward, the character in Twilight. Poor guy is going to have to stop going to bars and getting drunk. He needs to stay out of the limelight.



Posted by: Anonymous

surprising cause he is so butt ugly. eweeeee!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

He might become the young Leo. All he has to do is form a "pussy posy" and go from girl to girl and bar to bar. He's on his way.

I hope the Ok cover is on for next week.
I received mine today and it didn't have
this beautiful couple on. It had Ashley
Tisdale on. Love Rob and Kristen together. John Mayer,who is so full of
himself,can move over. Because a new and hotter man is in town and he is the beautiful Robert.

Just wanna sayTrue beauties are actually among ourselves, check this out...milli onaire chats.c/o/m..hot and sincere cougars, young girls and handsome men there are much more attractive and charming!!!! search and find our own beauties today!!! lol



Posted by: Anonymous

poor guy...the backlash has already begun... he didn't want all of this attention, it was never his plan, so back off haters.



Posted by: Anda

Leo has talent - Rob is not that great of an actor. He does not come close to Leo in acting whatsoever. Rob wishes he were Leo.

anda your just an old fat cow
quit hating on this young man.



Posted by: Anonymous

This guy is so gross! I don't find him good looking at all... In fact he always looks so dirty and smelly!



Posted by: Anonymous

NOW can people see how incredibly UGLY this guys is!! His profile looks like a boxer who's had his nose smashed in.

Is the "SPecial Ed" look and lack of hygiene "IN" now ?



Posted by: Anonymous

THe Media creates the Hype especially when you are gay or a political activist.



Posted by: Anonymous

pfft! nothing you say on x17 will change his superstar status. but good luck with that anyway.



Posted by: Anonymous

ps> he probably has been punched in the nose, so what, a million guys have been punched in the nose, no ones nose is perfectly straight
secondly there isn't anything dirty looking about him..his face is clear and theres no acne..which means he is washing his face and his hair (oil from hair will cause zits too)
so there you go.



Posted by: Benzie

Bad critics like Anda and Tonja are the ones who pushes these celebrities to the edge and not the reporters. Reporters just take pics and publish. Why don't you HATERS just SHUT UP if you don't have anything NICE to say???



Posted by: Benzie

Rob could not be Leo coz each one has their own talent. Its accepted that Leo is a good actor but can HE SING and PLAY PIANO LIKE ROB??? Can Leo COMPOSE SONGS LIKE ROB??? You HATERS only see the Physical attributes of these celebrities, look on the other side of the coin too!!! You HATERS are soooo envious and jealous and wish that YOU are in his shoes! He is very very rich now and girls chase him!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

Its great that Tweens drool and ogle at him and other celebrities. It diverts the Tweens from boozing and other vices!!!



Posted by: Anda

No I'm not an old fat cow. Just because I am not 12 years old and in love with this muppet face does not make me those things.
Efff u bit%ches - Rob sux and Leo is hot. Only tweens like Rob - once this Twilight shi^t is over Rob will be nothing special.



Posted by: Anonymous

9:08 I wish I could agree with you but the paps (especially at x17) are ruthless little buggers and will go to great lengths in order to get a shot. they are just as bad as the hate mongers.



Posted by: Anonymous

Nope, once twilight is over he has at least 3 other movies lined up. he's booked up WELL into 2012. Nice try though, moron.



Posted by: Anonymous

Rob is only as hot as his character of Edward with all the makeup on.



Posted by: Anonymous

yeah maybe to a vapid blank moron like you.



Posted by: Anonymous

He is so gross - way over hyped!



Posted by: Anonymous

ok then why don't you spend time admiring someone you like rather then acting miserable toward someone you don't like? it makes more sense for you to just piss off, don't you think?:)



Posted by: mjzita

you paps make me sick - you're a bunch of stalkers, not to mention pathological liars - why don't you just leave rob and every other celebrity alone!!



Posted by: tadada

it's all just HYPE HYPE HYPE with rob, with leo it was just talent. With Kristen she was recognized by her peers way before the hype of twilight therefor she will be recognized way after, long term.



Posted by: Anonymous

leo who? I know you're not comparing him to Leonardo Dicaprio. You guys are funny.



Posted by: Anonymous

rob is very young. let's all just wait and see what is to come rather then assuming he's not good enough.



Posted by: Anonymous

Hopefully Robert wouldnt turn into Leo who is such a womaniser, hoping from one model to another. God forbids, if he follows Leos behaviour he would lose all his current fans now and end up like Leo who is supposed to be a good actor but becos of his character and over confident behaviour he is no longer an interest to his fans no matter how good his movie is. I hope Robert stay grounded by the help of his loved ones. Its scares me to think of it.



Posted by: Anonymous

of course not and hopefully not! Rob is down to earth, Leo is ...a sad case.

everyone should have his privacy,if exposing Rob and Kris's private life is paparazzi's fucking job,if making money and satisfying fans' curiosity are paparazzi's fucking so-called excuses for doing those nasty trackings,I wanna say to them,"Go to hell,you deserve this,bitch!"

Benzie, I so agree with you. Rob is so talented and I like him so much. He can act, he can sing, he can play piano/guitar and other, he can compose, who knows which talents are still unrevealed to us.. And good look is nice add to all that bunch. So Robert - you are the best actor in your generation, be chill and don't let those paps get to you. All your fans (me-first in the row) suport you and love you, so head up ;) Be yourself and ignore all haters - they are just jealous, so I feel sorry for them (instead of admiring those they love, they are preoccupied with negative emotions). Pitiful creatures those haters..
Rob, all that beautiful future is there for you, go and take it :) And I don't compare Rob to Leo or smth else - all they are different and Rob is unique.



Posted by: Anonymous

That sucks! I would hate that...I hope he stays away from drugs! It would be easy to booze your away from that crap!



Posted by: Anonymous

Anyway whoever says "f%ck the paps" are fools...why are you on this site if you didn't like the close up pictures they are taking? The closer the better for anyone who is on these sites and buys the magazines!!



Posted by: Anonymous

Sorry but Rob is a very bad actor and he is ugly it's only thanks to Twilight that some people say that he is a good actor and he is beautiful. Leo is a great actor and he is wonderful , he is very nice , generous, he keep his life private (he never dated all models that magazines said and he never had many girlfriends)



Posted by: Benzie

Rob is well grounded, humble and well mannered young man. I am pretty sure he won't turn to drugs nor turn into an a**hole. His being famous now is not just a hype. I am pretty sure he will stay in the business for a long time unless he prefer otherwise. I do hope he and Kristen are for real. If not, I will still support both of them. :)



Posted by: Anonymous

Both are effeminate.
When did the Media decide Girlie Men were all the rage.



Posted by: Anonymous

I don't understand why people say he can't act

personally i liked his acting in twilight more than i actually liked twilight.

Funny how you think he is so ugly and he's been named on all these "hottest men" and "most beautiful" lists. Give the poor guy a break! You can see his personality changing, just watch the Ellen video from Nov. and recent video, like the MTVMA's...he seems to be more standoffish now, which is a shame. One of my fave things about him is that he is so laid back, and normal...I really hope he doesn't change, but I can sorta already see it happening :( and who can blame him? I would be standoffish too if I had people constantly snapping my pic

WHat is wrong with people today? It looks like anyone can be famous - even the UGLY, pale, greasy looking, scrawney boys! Ugh, he is so nasty looking! I just dont get it!

Rob leave some sense of mystery.........you wear your heart on your sleeve........you're beautiful and genuine.....a quality few and far between for people in your line of business.........people can say all of these nasty, spiteful things but you and the people close to you know better I'm sure.......God put a light of humility and honesty in you so you could set an example........To All you haters: FYI you haven't even seen ROB's other films. His acting abilities go way beyond Twilight. He's so admirable it's ridiculous. Rob: Why do you have to be so endearing? Excuse while i barf over a guy none of us will ever have. And then I remember that crushes on celebrities are just a passing faze. I remember loving Leo in R&J and Titanic. He was divine to me then........Gone with the Wind......on to something different......
