In a recent interview Robert Pattinson (The actor who playedin Twilight) said he felt so scared about taking on roles other than Twilight.Looking at recent photographs during a press event for his new movie Cosmopolis.

Does he look comfortable? He does lookfairly comfortable though he is showing a slight lack of confidence by the lackof space he takes up and the asymmetry of his gesture clusters in many of thephotos. Under confident men place their feet apart more of six to eight inchrange. Look at all the men’s feet in the first group.. See how he has his heels closer together than the other three men. Alsolook at that first photo and see how he has his arms close to his body and hishand in his pocket and in addition has his body at a slight tilt.
That shows a little protectiveness.We show ourselves straight on when we are super confident. When we aren’t super self assured we may stand or tilt and presentasymmetrically.
The most interesting thing I think is how he is interacting with the guys. He isfeeling a difference in his power and relationships.
Rememberhow he was often interviewed and photographed as part of a couple or lovetriangle in the twilight press conferences. I read hundreds of those pressconference photos. In this press conference he is often shot looking at the menand lowering his head and shoulders ashe listens. I think here its not necessarily a lack of comfort ofself-confidence, but respect, the recogogntion he is not the alpha male of the group. He's interactingwith experienced, powerful men he is feeling the difference of interacting withyoung co stars and an adoring young female audience and that is making himnervous.
Thephotos were he is laughing show a great ease and delight. There is oneparticular photo where he is laughing leaning forward with a full open mouthand teeth showing that indicate a trueplayful laugh that you actually don’t see very often at press conferences. (TomHanks and Julia Roberts are rare exceptions they both have that wonderfullaugh) What is interesting to me is howhe is dealing with other people.
He does put his hand over his mouth in a few of photos in way that suggests he is unsureor lacks confidence, but the laughing photos show me that was just a littleblip in his other wis not sure he is speaking.
The toothpick is a nice prop. Menuse this little sharp weapon like a artifact to say, remember I am the coolguy. Note he didn’t just finish eating corn on the cob he isat a press conference. So we know he is choosing that prop to enhance hisimage. Toothpicks also serve as a comforting prop. There are so many nerveending in and around the mouth and chewing the toothpick stimulates the nervesand creates a soothing chemical response.
