Robert Pattinson: I crossed the line of comfort as Dali with naked, gay sex scenes [video]

”I thought I’d never get another acting job again…. So I was like, ‘Yeah–why not try to do something weird?’ There’s all these gay sex scenes. And y’know, I haven’t even done a sex scene with a girl, in my whole career…. Trying to do it doggie-style. Trying to have a nervous breakdown while doing it doggie-style. And it wasn’t even a closed set. There were all these Spanish electricians giggling to themselves.”

Actor Robert Pattinson of ”Twilight” fame, telling GQ about his post-“Harry Potter” role as bisexual painter Salvador Dali, and the on-set requirements of a ”hardcore” gay sex scene for the small-budget film ”Little Ashes.” He attributes the interest in the yet-to-be-released film as being due to his own sudden stardom.
