Robert Pattinson may have his pick of female companions, but Courtney Love isn’t the least bit interested in having anything to do with him. And he seems fine with it!
Producers have been looking to make Kurt Cobain’s life story into a movie, and it was speculated that Robert Pattinson would play the role of the infamous musician. Love got wind of the rumor and called the idea to cast Pattinson “just wrong” and “stupid,” which are the most innocent insults she has ever uttered in her entire existence. However, Pattinson might be old enough to feel comfortable putting himself in the center of thousands of screaming fans, but he’s not old enough to know better than to pick a fight with Courtney Love. Regarding her comments about him playing her husband in the movie, he said,
“I love Nirvana, but I love them a bit too much – I’d be embarrassed [to play Kurt Cobain]. I didn’t get offered it. For one thing, I’m too tall, and I can’t sing like him, I’m nothing like him. It’s ridiculous … You see all these comments, like from Courtney Love, saying, ‘What the f**k! He’s totally wrong for it’, and I’m like, ‘I f**king said no, you dick!”
What he means: It’s pretty clear what he means, but since I like my job, I can’t really paraphrase or expand upon it. Basically speaking, Pattinson is surely pulling a smarty and realizing there are just some roles he’s not right for — even if taking them would mean exposure would skyrocket and more doors would open for him, he’ll decline. It’s clear he values authenticity in his movies (spare me from expounding the realism that is playing a vampire who falls in love with a teenager, please), even if it doesn’t always look like he does. At least that’s what we’re lead to believe here.
So Courtney Love’s misinformed…surprise! Even though Pattinson’s calling her a “dick” is surprisingly astute and oddly fitting, it’s unwise — because from the look of her perpetually ripped stockings, she carries razor blades in each of her body’s crevices, and people like that fight actors with a vengeance.
