Paul Darnell, Rob's stunt double, talks about working with him in 'Remember Me', 'Water for Elephants' and the Twilight Saga Movies

How did you react when Robert Pattinson thanked you for his Twilight “Best Fight” MTV Movie Award? Can you share your experience in filming that scene?

First let me say that Robert Pattinson is an amazingly humble person and a very hard worker. He works very hard and shows up to every rehearsal. The last battle scene in Twilight was very intense. Many of the stunts involved hard hits with wires and crashes which are so much fun to do! Without risking personal injury to Rob, I ended up doing the majority of stunts in the final battle which won the award.

I was at a friend's house and I started getting text messages and phone calls from friends saying "I think Rob Pattinson just thanked you on national TV". I was really stoked and also a little confused by the "I think" part. Immediately I went online and found a video of Rob's speech where he gave me credit for the award but said the wrong last name. To his credit, someone had misspelled my name on a photo shoot for LA Magazine and my wrong last name was plastered all over the internet. None the less, I was so stoked that he would even think of me for a shot out. Actors rarely do that for stuntmen. Rob is a very considerate individual and true gentleman. When I saw him on the set of Remember Me he immediately apologized for the mishap.

Rob thanks Paul...

Kristen at 0.51 is so pretty. Oops sorry there. lol Carry on, Paul.

How has the experience of being Robert Pattinson’s stunt double varied from Twilight to Remember Me to Water for Elephants for you?
It has been amazing to see Rob's fame grow and grow. His fan base is grown so much since the first Twilight and I am very happy for him. He also continues to stay the same humble guy each time I see him.

Can you share any of the experience of last summer’s filming of Water for Elephants?
A terrific book turned into an even greater film with 3 outstanding actors. The three, Reese, Rob and Christoph, worked together amazingly. Rob also did an amazing job learning and performing the fights and working with the animals. Rob has a scene feeding tigers, REAL tigers, that could eat you if they wanted. Rob played it cool and had no problems working with them at all. Probably better than I could.

What are you currently working on?
I'm lucky enough to be working again with Rob on Breaking Dawn which has even more action than any of the other Twilights. Can't say much other than it is going to be an amazing film!

27. ‘Twilight’ Mania: Redux

Yes, the frenzy around Twilight made last year’s list. No, that mania did not die down in 2010 — as evidenced by Robert Pattinson’s overwhelmed expression at the June premiere of the third movie in the franchise, Eclipse. (Buck up, R. Pattz: Breaking Dawn is right around the corner.)

enews "Relive a bloody good year of interviews, red carpet events and more with Kristen, Robert and the rest of the "Eclipse" stars."

Rob and Kristen interviews at the beginning and at 6:55 till the end of the vid.

More than 10 minutes of cast interviews. Cool compilation. I know we have these before but Rob still makes me laugh,  "We're live! Oh God!"  and Kristen baby, awww, that sharpie incident. She handled it very classy by the way, the incident and talking about it in the interview.

DishRag Kellan spoke about "Breaking Dawn" being spilt into 2 movies and said "I have read that they are talking to Rob, Taylor and Kristen to negotiate to make 'Dawn' into two movies. I'd love for it to be two films," he added.

He also answered a question about the rumour going around about a "Twilight" Tv Series, "I just heard that too. I don't know how. You already have the books and the story's been told so beautifully. And there's already 'True Blood' and 'Vampire Diaries,' and they're both great. I don't know how it would work. Twenty two episodes?

He knows that some people are waiting years to have the success that the "Twilight" stars have and said "People work 20 years to get what we have," Kellan admits. "We really are so lucky. Its like you get a headstart and its all because of the fans. And it's not just about money or getting offers, it's that we can mold our careers."

And on attributing "Twilight" franchise success to Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
"The rest of us, we could suck probably," Kellan says. "It's Rob and Kristen who have the amazing chemistry. Without those two keystones, "Twilight" could have flopped. It really could have."
