Robert Pattinson Explains Why He Was Fired From West End Play
Wikipedia writes, “In May 2005 [Robert Pattinson] was slated to appear in the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre, but was fired shortly before the opening night and was replaced by Tom Riley.”
Royal Court Theatre, which is based in London’s West End, the equivalent of Broadway in New York, “is Britain’s leading national company dedicated to new work by innovative writers from the UK and around the world,” and proudly claims that it “produces more new plays than any other theatre in Britain.”
In his interview with Ruben V. Nepales for the January/February 2009 issue of YOU Magazine, Rob mentions being “fired from that play” and why he likes acting, “I liked the freedom and in the things you could do with acting. Like if you want to look sad, you don’t have to have a sad face, which is still how I try on a lot of different things. For that same reason – trying to take risks – I got fired from that play. I haven’t really changed since I got fired.”
True to his nature, Rob decided to make several pitchers of lemonade from one lemon, “It’s probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. I got some jobs afterward, by saying I got fired and for standing up for what I believe in (laughter).”
