The cover of the April issue of Vanity Fair has leaked early which is great for all TwiHards. Robert Pattinson graces this cover and the Twilight star is sporting a white button-down shirt and a black fedora. Oh, and he’s cradling a four-foot long alligator. Inside the issue, Pattinson talks about Kristen Stewart, the pitfalls of fame, and his admiration for Charlie Sheen.


On Kristen Stewart:
“Kristen is very focused on being an actress. I mean, that’s what she is—she’s an actress. Whereas I—I just don’t really know.” Pattinson continues, “She’s cool. Even before I knew her I thought she was a really good actress…I still think there are very few girls in her class that are as good as she is.”

On Charlie Sheen:
Pattinson admits that he isn’t all that exciting and doesn’t do anything ever that is scandalous but says he admires Charlie Sheen and his “little escapades,” explaining, “I like crazy people who don’t give a fuck.”

On fame:
“This thing with everyone knowing you … it’s weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don’t really know myself that well.”

On popularity of Twilight:
“I can’t really understand it even now. It does have an angle which is attached to something quite primal in girls. I guess people want it to define them, like ‘I’m a Twilight fan.’… I think people really just like being part of a crowd. There’s something just tremendously exciting about hyping yourself up to that level.”

The April issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and L.A. on Thursday, March 3, and nationally and on the iPad on Tuesday, March 8.
