Robert Pattinson, who’s known for his role in the Twilight series, ditched his bad boy image for a hot second to cover Entertainment Weekly‘s latest issue. In the magazine, he discusses his upcoming role in Water for Elephants as a “traveling-circus veterinarian who falls for the show’s star attraction,” played by Reese Witherspoon, as well as his future with acting.

On maintaining his acting career:

“You can never really predict what an audience wants or how to maintain a career, other than doing what you think is cool. Generally, what I think is cool is what everyone else hates.”

On ditching the contact lenses he’s had to wear for Twilight:

“My God, I’ll be glad to see the last of those. I actually want to get some kind of plastic explosive. I want to reanimate them into something so I can kill them. It’s so embarrassing for me — after so many years, it’s still a process every single morning. Everybody else has figured out how to do it, and then there’s two people holding me down because I can’t do it myself.”

I’m glad to see him ditch his typical look for this movie. I think he probably has a lot of potential. The movie comes out on April 22. Will you see Water for Elephants?
