Robert Pattinson captivated millions of young girls with his role in the Twilight movie saga. In his new role as Dior’s ideal man, he clearly claims the feelings of women of all ages.
This fall, Robert Pattinson has become the face of Dior Homme iconic fragrance. His predecessor was Jude Law, another famous Englishman, equally adored by women. Why did Dior decide to replace him with the 27-year-old Twilight star? “Dior Homme is a symbol of masculinity. And her perceptions have changed somewhat. Now Robert Pattinson has become her embodiment. He is the hero of our time: he looks natural, sometimes almost careless, while remaining elegant and charming,” explains François-Xavier Hotier, general manager of Parfums Christian Dior Russia. It is also important that the actor finally moved away from the role of a pale young vampire, playing the main role in Cosmopolis with the master of author’s cinematography David Cronenberg. Now both are working on a new picture, which they promise to release in the fall of 2014.

On the choice of roles.
“If I think I’m not good enough for a role, then I immediately take it! I like challenges.”
About work.
“For a while, I was scared as hell that I would be a vampire forever. And he was very happy when David Cronenberg offered a role in Cosmopolis. Now it’s hard to lure me back into mainstream projects.”
About music.
“This is my escape route in case my acting career fails. Before Twilight, I was the guitarist for the Bad Girls. We played mostly folk-pop in London pubs.”
About fashion.
“Believe it or not, I already have a stack of notebooks painted with haute couture dresses at my house. I also love designing menswear. For example, at the premiere of the last part of “Twilight” I was in a green suit, sewn according to my sketch.
About clothes.
“I like to look elegant, but comfort comes first. I wear my favorite things until they literally start to fall apart.
About smells.
“In my opinion, there is no better smell than a mixture of bacon, coffee and fresh toast. It reminds me of Sunday family breakfasts at my parents’ house.”
О Dior.
“I have been offered cooperation with various brands a million times, but I agreed for the first time: after all, Dior is a legend!”
