RPattz Pal: Fame Would "Never Affect Robert The Wrong Way"

by Celebuzz on Mar. 23, 2009 05:30 AM / 19 Comments

After a weekend where we saw the awesome power of Twilight, we have to wonder — might fame and worldwide crowds of screaming admirers ever get to Robert Pattinson's head?

Not as far as Bobby Long, Twilight soundrack contributor and friend, can see it.

"This is the best person all of this could ever happen to," Long tells Celebuzz. "It would never affect Robert the wrong way."

"He's exactly as he always was," says Long. "He's very down-to-Earth and humble. Just a normal lad."

Long and Pattinson knew each other when the two were struggling artists in London, having late-night song sessions in Pattinson's dinghy Soho, London flat and eating pizza on his steep roof. Long also saw the full impact of Pattinson's fame at the London Twilight premiere:

"I actually had a few people shouting my name, which was bizarre," says Long. "But for Robert it was completely different. People were trying to pull at him and kiss him. It was hard to get into my head."

For Long, the touch of Twilight fame has led to insane amounts of exposure. "I had been playing concerts and not that many people would show up. But then there was like 20 girls, all Twilight fans. The last three had 100 girls and there were people not allowed to get into the venue, people flying in to see the concert. It's been insane."

Long is even heading to the U.S. for his first concerts.

As far as Pattinson's musical skills: "He's extremely talented. Just as talented with his music as an actor for sure."

In fact, Long would definitely purchase any Pattinson album. Actually, scratch that. "I'd hope to get it for free to be honest," he laughs. "I wouldn't talk to him if I didn't."

Pattinson should do a musical film. Spring Awakening or a bio pic. He'd also make a wonderful Mozart or Beethoven etc. also love to see him play Mozart in Amadeus on stage in London.

I;d rather Rob focused on acting right now. Its a critical time in his career. I do love his voice though so if they could shoe horn that into a film all the better. A Baz Luhrmann musical would be good.

Pattinson should do some charity music gigs in the UK. He'd make any charity a fortune.

Glad to hear that perhaps he hasn't let all this go to his head. The biggest part of my attraction to him/for him is how ackward he is, well that and I'm a sucker for blue eyes. But if his friends are saying he's still the same fella, then he is still the same fella. I do wish that paps would leave him alone, and perhaps not make such a deal out of the things he does/will do. He's young, he needs to make mistakes, fall down, get bruised up, and learn how to pull himself up by his own boot straps. He's never going to learn how to be otherwise.
