    Robert Pattinson receives high praise from Guy Pearce who he stars opposite in The Rover

    Robert Pattinson’s admirers are usually of the young and female variety but he’s also earning plenty of respect from veteran actor Guy Pearce who was all praise when asked about his co-star in The Rover.

    KRISTEN STEWART ‘INSISTS’ ROBERT PATTINSON SEES HIS FRIENDS ALONE

    Following the end of filming for the upcoming gritty drama that banished Robert Pattinson to the Australian outback for over two months, Guy Pearce, has now spoken his colleague’s on-screen talents.

    Guy told Australian newspaper, the Herald Sun: ‘The best thing about Rob is that he is a really great actor. Watching the rushes back, you go: “Ok, he is just going to be fantastic.”’

    ‘He’s got this beautiful face,’ Guy added. ‘So you are completely entranced by that face no matter how ugly he makes himself [for the character] or how wounded he is, or how manky his haircut.’

    The Rover is a far cry from the brooding drama of the Twilight franchise, it is set in a post- apocalyptic world where society has completely broken down. Speaking of Robert’s character, Guy said: ‘He [Robert] is slightly backward, emotionally useless and really vulnerable.’

    We imagine nothing like the man himself!
