Here we have it, ladies and gentlemen! The Rob and Kristen photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar's December issue has been kept under tight wraps - there were no leaks until Harper's sent out the outtakes yesterday, and this morning, we received the cover. There were rumors that Rob and Kristen would reveal their real life relationship in their interview, but those have (sadly) been shot down. However, once again, the chemistry between the two in these shots is undeniable.
Check out some choice quotes from the story, and be sure to pick up the issue on newsstands soon.
Kristen, on not being able to leave her Vancouver hotel: Rob is more frustrated with it, but he's 23 and I'm 19. He had a couple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just as I was getting to the age when it's normal to go out by yourself ...But it's boring because this is all I f*cking talk about."
Rob, on getting clipped by a cab in NYC earlier this summer, and his insane fans: "But at least that's an experience, something new. If it's just screaming -- and I know this sounds so ridiculous -- that gets old. But sometimes when there's literal chaos, it's like being in a war zone, and that's kind of exciting. You're just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what's going on."
On romance: "I have a no-bullshit detector," says Kristen, "so I'd have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it's honest, it's so disarming." Rob chuckles when asked the same question. "Um, I don't know. What did Kristen say?" You. "No. I'm better at faking." This is followed by a very long laugh.
Rob, on meeting Kristen at his first audition: "Kristen was very different from how I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind of intimidated."
Rob, on Kristen: "She's a unique girl. You really don't meet many people like Kristen."
Kristen, on satisfying the public: "People think I'm trying to be rebellious, but that's the last thing I'm doing. But I would hate myself if I tried to satisfy the people who have a problem with the way I speak about myself, so it's okay."
Rob, on his lack of acting skills: "I don't really know how to act. I'm kind of guessing everything. ... Even though I can conceptualize stuff, she can actually do it. I can make something so complex and then be like, That was pout 27."
"She'll decide on someone a lot quicker. She has a lot more self-esteem than I do, so she's like, 'You're an idiot and I don't want to talk to you,' and I'm like, 'I'm an idiot too!' So I'll talk to an idiot for like three days before deciding."
On who is more egotistical:
Kristen: "I'd have to say him. I hope he says him too actually. Like every time he looks in the mirror and he twists his hair. Actually, he could give a f*ck about his hair. I hope that sarcasm translates."
Rob: "It's kind of a tie. We're both pretty proud people. Her ego is more solid than mine, but mine has soared to such peaks, it's ridiculous. Mine's more erratic, but it can get to a point when it's, like, godlike. Only in my eyes, of course. Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, Whoa, I'm so cool."
On what they'd do if they were invisible: "I'd like to say something noble," Rob says, fiddling with his hair, "but I'd probably spy on people to hear what they think of me -- and then hate them for it afterward."
Kristen is, as ever, a little blunter: "I'd go for a walk."
