Robert Pattinson may thank his stars that he has some sensible advice at last. Aidan Quinn, Hollywood star of yesteryears, well-known for his movie Desperately Seeking Susan against Madonna, has some words of wisdom for Twilight heartthrob Pattz.
Pattinson was quoted as saying, “Try and pick good projects,” the actor, 51, tells me. “Do what you want to do that challenges you as an actor. Be smart, have fun and start to produce your own material because the big fame rarely lasts. There will come a day when the phone doesn’t ring as much as it used to.”
The 51 year old, who has successfully maintained over 22 years of his marriage with Elizabeth Bracco, recollects how he made his way to the top.
“I think it was when I went into a supermarket, and I was doing a film called An Early Cross, which was the first movie ever done about AIDS. I was on the cover of a magazine, and I had no idea ’cause I didn’t do a photo shoot for them. They just took a picture from the movie and put it on. It was a shock. And then, I started getting recognized a lot. Then, I thought, ‘This is it. Now I’m famous.’ Thirty-two million watched the show the night of the thing, so the next day I all of a sudden out of the blue I was being recognized a lot in the street. I’m not sure it’s necessarily great. Celebrity, to me, is not a thing to seek.”
And why is that so??
“It’s full of bull**** and ersatz false values,” feels Quinn, “It’s a byproduct of what we do as actors in this industry, but I don’t think it’s something devoutly to be wished or to be sought.”
