The Kristen Stewart Diaries — Robert Pattinson Hurt by the Volturi
“Hey Flippy! Watch out for your feet!” Although I said the warning jokingly, I was half serious in my admonition to Rob as we prepared to do a shot for the Volturi fight scene. There were several sequences involved, but this one required Daniel Cudmore, who was playing Volturi henchman Felix, to grab Rob by the neck with his meaty hand and hurl him to the ground.
Although the six foot 7 inch man was a gentle man by nature, accidents were inevitable. On the first day alone, Rob unwittingly hurt himself when he did a forward roll, and, as only he can do, somehow managed to spin off the wide safety mat and cracked his head against the marble floor.
I inwardly shuddered at the endless possibilities by which Rob could somehow hurt himself. I wished that his double could do all the stunts, but, of course, that’s impossible, especially on the close up shots.
So, each time Dan smashed Rob to the floor, my heart gave a violent thump and my breath would catch in my throat, choking me with its invisible fullness while threatening imminent darkness due to lack of oxygen.
Only when Rob moved from his supine position and shoot me a little rueful grin would the clenching release a little bit, giving me momentary relief before the next torturous cycle began.
As we continued to shoot the Volturi scenes over several days, I began to dread the day and the emotional toil it was certain to bring. I tried to control my emotions, but, I had to constantly fight the tears that were on the brink of flowing copiously from my eyes, for the sight of Rob being hurt, simulated though it may be, was causing an enveloping pain to claw its way though every sinew until it became a parasite that fed on my silent suffering.
When it was my turn to be in front of the cameras to plead for Edward’s life, I did so with a broken voice, for, in reality, if it ever came to pass that my life could somehow spare Rob’s from any harm, I knew I would hurl myself without thought and reason upon the danger even though it may mean my own demise.

Kristen Stewart Really Calls Robert Pattinson Flippy In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Kristen Stewart admits to giving Robert Pattinson a nickname.
Kristen: “I call [Robert Pattinson] Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run …”
Robert Pattinson Is Accident Prone Robert Pattinson continues his predilection for getting hurt on the set. Twilight Lexicon reports.
[Daniel Cudmore said that] Rob bumped his head on the first day doing a forward roll! LOL! And then he really got into it and got better.

I REALLY like this one!! It reminds me of the intimate feel of the older ones you’ve done :- ) You should do one about how they feel about all this “calming down” their romance nonsense…

That’s right, EDR showed up at the New Moon’s premiere so…Summit shouldn’t balk when Kristen shows up at Remember Me’s premiere, she’s Rob’s co-star in Eclipse (and his lady). No excuses!

i totally agree with you, gina.
kristen is rob´s lady and it´s so normal that someone´s partner supports the films the other partner is making.
she has all rights of the world to show up at the remember me premiere. hopefully she will!!!

Hi Lorna. I really love the Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson diaries so much. But, I realised that there aren’t a lot of Kristen Stewart diaries like the Robert Pattinson diaries. Are you planning on making more Kristen Stewart diaries? :l
