Hal Holbrook Calls Rob "A Modest Young Man"




TheFABLife Have you seen Hal Holbrook in Into The Wild? His storyline is our favorite in that movie (don’t worry, Kristen Stewart‘s #2) and he’s a seasoned and spectacular actor. On Sunday he told us that his Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson impressed him with his “manner” and called him a “modest young man.” Everyone we’ve ever talked to about Pattinson has echoed Holbrook’s sentiment, and the few times we’ve interviewed him we’ve noticed the same thing. Humble RPattz is humble!

Holbrook, who plays the older version of Rob’s character in the movie, also marveled at how much he looks like a younger version of himself. His entire interview is very sweet – we love his thoughts on the megalomania of Hollywood, of which both he and Rob seem destined to avoid. Watch above.

Love Hal Holbrook and his beautiful wife the late Dixie Carter. I forgot Hal was in Into the Wild although he didn't have any scenes with Kristen. Hollywood is such a small world. Just discovered the actor who will play Peeta in HG, Josh Hutcherson, costarred with Kristen in Zathura.

So sad to remember he lost his wife not too long ago.
He was incredible in ITW, made me cry.
I bet he´s incredible in WFE too.

Josh has grown to be a fine young man and actor, praising Kristen along the way (just like every costar she´s had).

Great energy from Hal and Dixie...I loved the old man storyline in WFE and I am SO GLAD FL kept the ending in!!!! I can't watch this but I loved the choice of Hal and his part in ITW(BTW...Misty and all,I've got to read HG,maybe it is good?....liked little Josh in Zathura with little K...he seemed like he would have a bigger career).

I am glad they kept the "older Jacob" storyline in. Not just so we can see Hal but because that ending was one of the favorite parts of the whole story! Actually made me tear up!
