Is Rob The Next James Dean or Marlon Brando?
The Improper has a new article that asks “Is Rob the new James Dean or Marlon Brando?” Check out what they have to say – Robert Pattinson has captured the hearts of an untold number of fans with his portrayal of Edward Cullen in “Twilight.” Rob’s brooding good looks and the film, about eternal love and teen angst, are strikingly similar to two monumental teen idols from previous generations – James Dean and Marlon Brando – who starred in similar movies. Every other generation or so, an actor comes along who captures the imagination of their contemporaries. Brando and Dean were those actors in the 1950s. Rob is having the same breakout success in “Twilight.” Ironically, both Brando and Dean became international sensations in coming-of-age movies about teenage angst in tumultuous times.
