Harry Potter actor Robert Pattinson recalls living in a “cool little ex-crack den” in London with best friend Tom Sturridge in the Octover 2008 issue of Interview Magazine.

“We spent the better part of a year just getting drunk every night,” Pattinson admits. “I don’t know if that counts as ’struggling.’”

Pattinson has been dubbed “the next Jude Law” in the British press. “I don’t really see the similarity,” he says.

Pattinson stars next in Little Ashes, a Spanish drama and vampire thriller Twilight, based on the popular teen books, in which Pattinson plays Edward.

“It’s funny,” Pattinson says, “because teenage girls would say,’ Oh my God, you’re Cedric!’ It switched in a week to ‘Oh, my God, it’s Edward!’ Allegiances change to freely in the teen-girl world.”
