Let Robert Pattinson Breathe

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies. I KNOW that Rob is gorgeous, anyone with eyes knows that, but can we just look at pics of him and appear loco in the comfort of our own homes, and then act like we have SOME form of respect, sense and god forbid boundaries in public? I am well aware of his sexiness, and his appeal, but can’t you see that it makes him very uncomfortable to be mauled the way he was yesterday? I honestly saw one part in the video footage of said mauling, where he looked so anxious it hurt ME, then some girl hugged him, her friend snapping a picture, immediately he smiled. Once his handlers removed her, he went right back to being anxious. Is that what you want? A painted on smile? I’d rather him smile genuinely, and if you truly admire Rob you would as well.
I’ve heard the argument that this is what he signed up for. Bollocks I say. He signed up to act, he signed up to hopefully have fans, he did not sign up for crazed, lunatic, obsessed stalkers who won’t even allow him to urinate in peace. Autographs and pictures are probably acceptable, but you have to ask yourself WHEN it’s appropriate, and realize when it is NOT. In case you can’t determine these things for yourself, I have thought perhaps I could help you:

When it is perfectly okay to ask for an autograph/ how TO behave:


* When you are at a twi-con or an actual autograph signing/meet & greet.
* If you approach them, and ask them nicely (of course giving them the respect/right to refuse)

No, wait, I’m going about this all wrong. Maybe I should tell you how NOT to go about it.

When NOT to ask for an autograph, what NOT to do in general:

* Do NOT stand outside of their personal trailer on the set (especially if you’re well over the age of 18) in preparation to maul them at first sighting.

* Do NOT scream so loudly that they feel as if the gates of hell have opened and they are hearing the damned souls begging for mercy.

* Do NOT approach them outside of the bathroom (or going into it).

* Do NOT go up to them and interrupt any meal or outing with friends,for an autograph or picture. It’s just rude. Would you like it? I know I wouldn’t.

* Do NOT overstep any rights or boundaries that they have as human beings. Regardless of them being in the public eye, at the end of the day, they are just like us and deserve privacy. The right to a normal (as normal as anyone can have) life.

* Do NOT think that just because they are celebrities that you own every ounce of time they have.

All of that being said, most celebrities we know and love don’t mind,and in fact ADORE their fans, are very thankful and appreciative, I know that Rob is absolutely no exception.
He loves us all, but I’m sure he’d also love some space. Appreciate the tortured artist behind him, and sometimes, just sometimes admire him from afar. You can appreciate the view without defacing it, claiming it, or getting it’s signature, believe me.

  • This is so much the truth. Everyone became obsessed because of his roll as Edward, if these nut-jobs keep stalking him, he's going to pull out of the last two movies, and they won't have "their Edward." He is human like the rest of us, and EVERYONE...

  • Thank you so much for this article. Well said. These crazy fans don't know what is common courtesy and respect for others. They are very selfish and rude. This is getting out of hand. There should be some laws against this. Let him breathe.
