Robert Pattinson + GQ Cover= Perfection! I finally have a chance to post the April 2009 cover photo of Robert in GQ. I love this picture that was taken right before he cut his hair. I kinda miss these crazy locks of his. His interview with the magazine was really good…I am actually quite jealous because it looks like it would be fun to ask him almost any question. Here are the highlights:

On interviews in general: “I just say the first thing that comes into my head, out of nervousness. During interviews I’m literally shitting my pants. I don’t want there to be a silence, because I’ll start crying.”

On how he took a Valium to calm down for his audition for Twilight: “It was the first time I’ve ever taken Valium. A quarter. A quarter of a Valium. I tried to do it for another audition, and it just completely backfired—I was passing out.”

On Camilla Belle: “I mean, Camilla’s the nicest—she’s a saint. And it’s funny that she’s being portrayed as this home wrecker. She’s literally the most unlikely person to be a home wrecker. It’s just ridiculous.”

On being single: “I don’t see people. I don’t even have people’s phone numbers. I almost don’t want to have a girlfriend, in this environment. The only way to establish any kind of mystique is to completely shut up and never talk to anyone. And I’m contractually obligated not to shut up.”

On the gay scenes in his movie, Little Ashes: “In a lot of ways. I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff. I thought I’d never get another acting job again. So I was like, ‘Yeah—why not try to do something weird?’ There’s all these gay sex scenes. And y’know, I haven’t even done a sex scene with a girl, in my whole career. And here I am, with Javier [Beltrán], who plays Lorca, doing an extremely hard-core sex scene, where I have a nervous breakdown afterward. And because we’re both straight, what we were doing seemed kind of ridiculous. Trying to do it doggie-style. Trying to have a nervous breakdown while doing it doggie-style. And it wasn’t even a closed set. There were all these Spanish electricians giggling to themselves.”

On watching himself acting: “I was constantly thinking that I was faking my emotions. I was constantly attacking myself: You’re a fake, you’re a fraud. I remember when I was a teenager thinking my girlfriend was cheating on me, and going around riling myself up. Pretending to cry. It was totally illegitimate—I actually didn’t feel anything. I went to some pub and then went crying all the way home. And I got into my dog’s bed. I was crying and holding on to the dog. I woke up in the morning, and the dog was looking at me like, ‘You’re a fake.’ ”

On the one thing he wished they talked about in the interview: “Okay,” he says. Deep breath. “I f–ked Joe Jonas. I love him.”

And girls…he reads about the gossip about him…and the fan fiction. So he knows how much we all love him.

UPDATE: Here are the outtakes from the photo shoot.
