Kiss And Tell? DJ Shares Her Story About Meeting Robert Pattinson

UPDATE: @Thia2 pointed out to us that the picture is actually of actress Esther Nubiola, who worked with Rob in Little AshesHere are pictures of her.

This morning we got an email from Kay in The Netherlands, who came across this picture (which we had seen before) and alleged story behind it (that we did not know about).


The article was published on this Dutch (music) station. Kay says in it, the DJ (girl in the picture), talks about meeting Rob at a club in Barcelona when he was there filming Little Ashes:
Apparently she was approached by him (he said: "I'm not going before I know your name"). They had a great night and they 'indeed kissed'...

Here is the rough translation of the entire article by Google:

- Tess tells HAART meeting with Robert Pattinson: "So I was fairly surprised at the show with the picture of me and Robert Pattinson. So now here is to clarify the story.


I was a few years ago to visit my best friend in Barcelona, who ran training. Then we went to a night out in club Catwalk. As I walked to bump Robert Pattinson, who was making the money for the film Little Ashes. Anyway he was not as well known as it is today so I did not recognize him. I stood there to dance and he came to me and asked in a perfect British accent: "I'm not going before I know your name". In a perfect English accent ... it sounded so sexy!


Who can resist? We danced and had a nice evening .. yes we kissed! "
Wow. Talk about a great pick-up line. We leave it up to you to believe the story or not. We thank Kay for translating the details and sending them in.

'Little Ashes' Audience Favorite At Italian Film Festival

Rob as Dali was an instant favorite of ours. Mainly because you could see the first flashes of a star in the making. Congratulations Rob!



SCHERMI D'AMORE 2010


The award winners at the International Festival of Film Melodrama

AUDIENCE PRIZE – THE SCHERMI D’AMORE ROSE

The Schermi d’Amore Rose goes to the film Little Ashes (Great Britain - Spain, 2009) directed by Paul Morrison.

This year it was once again the audience who awarded the prize at the 14th festival dedicated to romantic films and melodrama.

Winner of Schermi d’Amore in 1999 with Solomon and Gaenor, which had its world première in Verona, Paul Morrison’s was among the five foreign films nominated for Oscars the following year. Now the refined British director has once again been recognized for his talent with a biopic which takes him from Wales in the 1910s (the setting for Solomon and Gaenor) to the Spain of the 1920s, for a tragic love story. The tormented relationship between Federico García Lorca (1899-1936) and Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), which the painter – after the Andalusian dramatist’s execution by Franco’s supporters – kept secret until the final years of his life. The Surrealist genius – played by Robert Pattinson before starring in Twilight – is portrayed during his university years, torn between his attraction for the author of Sonnets of Dark Love and his desire for fame and fortune, which would take him to Paris with the director Luis Buñuel (1900-1983), the third legendary Spanish figure with whom he would create the famous short, Un chien andalou (1929).

'Little Ashes' In April Issue Of Germany's Vogue

'Little Ashes' was mentioned in the April issue of Germany's Vogue. It's among the list of recommended DVDs. @Linhey sent it in, along with the translation.


Little Ashes – Madrid in 1922, the poet Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí become a couple. But the painter escapes from the relationship to Paris and with that right into the arms of Gala Éluard. Film biography from 2008 with “Twilight”-Star Robert Pattinson as young Dalí.
If you haven't seen Rob play Dali, you are missing out. Personally my favorite role, until Tyler came along in 'Remember Me'. Catch it if you can!
