The Vampire Diaries’ Joseph Morgan talks Robert Pattinson – Fame and Career

TVD’s star Joseph Morgan discusses Rob’s fame and career. Check it out below!

Robert Pattinson has sent fans crazy by saying ‘nobody would give a s***’ about him if he hadn’t starred in Twilight. And although omg! beg to differ, Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan agrees with his  fellow British star.

Joseph, who plays Klaus in the series, told omg! exclusively: “Provided he didn’t mess it all up, Robert was guaranteed a fan base thanks to Twilight,” Joseph told us.

“His character is iconic and there’s a huge following of the books but there’s a tremendous amount of pressure that comes with that.

“People have their own very distinctive ideas of how a character should be portrayed especially when you’re playing a vampire.”

But the gorgeous star admits that Robert has needed more than just Edward Cullen to turned him into a superstar.

He said: “Having the talent helped, Robert is quite charming and humble in the press during interviews which helps.

And Joseph revealed that he has the same fear as RPattz about being typecast, adding:

“I do worry thought that after Vampire Diaries finishes how many fans will come with me to watch other projects that I do and if it’s just the vampire phenomenon that made us [me and Robert] famous. It’s harder for Robert though.”

Naturally we had to ask if he’d like to reach the dizzy Hollywood heights that Robert has to which he replied rather diplomatically…

“That guy is more famous than anyone at the moment, of course I’d like to have Robert Pattinson’s career but I don’t like the whole celebrity aspect of it.

“I’m not interested in having a photo shoot in a magazine it allows people to buy into you too much. I’m not against talking about my personal life but I don’t want it to be a soap opera.

“I’m not saying Robert’s is, but he can’t escape it – like the gossip around who is he dating, I don’t want all that.”
