Pattinson co-star: Robert is so interesting

4th October 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Robert Pattinson was "great and interesting" to work with, says co-star Sarah Gadon.

The pair star in the upcoming David Cronenberg-directed Cosmopolis. Having already worked with David on A Dangerous Method, Sarah was excited to share in the experience again alongside Robert.

The actress says the British Twilight star was a joy to work with.

"For me, it was really interesting and great to work with Rob at this point in his career," she explained in an interview with MTV. "And I think David Cronenberg is a fabulous director, and to see Rob meet with David at this point in his journey as an artist was really special for me to watch.

"I think when you work with David Cronenberg, it's a really exciting and liberating and, at the same time, terrifying experience. And it was really great, having worked with David, to watch somebody new go through that."

Sarah thinks audiences will be intrigued by the storyline. The 24-year-old Canadian actress enjoyed playing an elusive character in the upcoming drama.

"I think it's a really interesting film, and I don't want to give away too much, but I think in a really kind of pared-down version of the film, it's about a young millionaire who loses everything in the course of a day," she said.

"I play his new wife, so I'm one of the only characters that comes in and out of the story throughout the film. We have breakfast, lunch and dinner together, and those are going to be some interesting meals."

Sarah appeared in historical drama A Dangerous Method alongside Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender and Vincent Cassel. The star felt far more pressured making the movie than Cosmopolis.

"I thought that going into the process with A Dangerous Method was way more daunting," she confessed.

"I had created an audition tape, sent it into David, had booked the role, flew to Germany knowing I would be playing Michael Fassbender's wife in a film with Keira Knightley and Viggo and Vincent Cassel. And then, not having met David until the day I arrived in full period hair and make-up for our camera tests... I didn't even sleep.

"So, that whole experience really made me grow so much as an actor that by the time Cosmopolis came around, not to brush it off, but I was ready for something like that Also, David is such an intelligent and thoughtful director, but he's also a man of few words, so getting Cosmopolis it was a validation."
