Tabloid: Robert Pattinson’s Drinking is Out of Control

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

Robert Pattinson‘s “drinking problem has his friends and family fearing he’s going off the deep end,” declares the National Enquirer.

Before we continue, it’s worth noting the same Enquirer once insisted (ridiculously) that Pattinson’s agent Stephanie Ritz came between him and Kristen Stewart.

So that’s the tab’s level of expertise when it comes to Pattinson.

In any case, the Enquirer now takes recent comments in which Pattinson talks about drinking in his hotel room when he’s lonely… and makes it seem as though he’s an alcoholic boozing himself to death.

“Rob’s drinking has been a concern for a while now,” a so-called “close source” tells the magazine, later adding, “He’s clearly having issues with stardom and we want him to get help before he turns into a Hollywood casualty.”

A Hollywood casualty?

“It seems like Rob’s been turning to the bottle more often. He’s been living the wild life in L.A. – and needs to get his act together before it’s too late.”

Before it’s too late?

First of all, it’s pretty clear from the tone of the original interview that Pattinson is not really “living the wild life” at all. His hotel drinking happens when he can’t find a friend to hang out with when he has a free night. He’s not exactly rampaging through Hollywood clubs on an alcohol binge.

As for the morbid talk about Pattinson becoming a “Hollywood casualty” unless he’s saved from his drinking, it’s complete nonsense.

Pattinson occasionally drinks in his hotel when there’s nothing else going on – but he’s nowhere near “going off the deep end,” as the Enquirer contends. A source close to the actor tells Gossip Cop that Pattinson is enjoying his relationship, his career, and the free time he does manage to get.

    He’s far from perfect but as long as he treats Kristen Stewart right and doesn’t cheat on her when he’s out drinking with friends, then I have no gripe with him. Don’t fu ck up, Rob, or we’ll chop your di ck off!

    They neglect to mention that for the last couple weeks, Robert Pattinson has been on a worldwide press tour promoting Water for Elephants. He was on three continents, attending six premieres in six different countries (U.S., U.K., Germany, Spain, France, Australia) in less than 14 days. And he’s been doing dozens of press interviews. There was not one complaint at any of those appearances about him, and tons of videos proving he’s functioning just fine. That press tour ended last weekend in Australia, and he’s already on the set of his next movie, Cosmopolis, in Toronto, Canada. There’s no way he’s had any kind of secret problem with drinking or any other “wild life” problem. I think the only thing he’s been doing with his free time lately is sleeping on airplanes!

    Wow, pf, I’m sure KS likes having fan like you…

    Who is the “source close to the actor” who is confirming what the actor doesn’t confirm himself? GC is almost as laughable as The National Enquirer and other outlets it pretends to be so above…

  • guest

    No one is perfect. Sometimes he makes off the wall remarks. In the four seasons interview they asked him what he would do if he were invisible for the day or something to that effect. He answered he would get drunk and lay in the gutter.

  • guest

    LOL. What a winner you sound like. Another jealous Robsessed fangirl? Go cry into your RP pillow. KS will be cuddling up to the real thing.

    You don’t know me, do you? Why the hate? I was actually saying something nice about KS… Anyway I don’t see why I would justify any of my standpoints or views. This is still an open forum, as far as I can see. Unless it’s become a Stewart shrine.

  • Robsessed1986

    I agree. If this source that GC is not naming was really close to Rob they sure as hell wouldn’t go around making statements like this about Rob’s personal life.

  • Robsessed1986

    Rob jokes all the time. Poor guy can’t even joke around without everyone freaking out. If he was as out of control as the Enquirer alleges, his fans would have noticed. He is doing fine, what he really needs is some time off and some real sleep. But, looks like that won’t be happening till after this summer, maybe.

  • Robsessed1986

    What the hell are you talking about? I don’t read anything that Luna said that would lead me to believe she was jealous over KS. She really says nothing about her at all.

    God, couldn’t the Enquirer find anything else? Rob Pattinson is one of the most grounded people in Hollywood and Kristen keeps him that way, so they are going to have to find something or somebody else to talk about.

    as far as im concerend he look pretty good at all his inteviews and photoshots that there is not 00000000000 procent pointing to that STUPID report…suck someone else..into your crap

  • Anonymous

    rob gets asked a lot of really stupid questions and his comment about getting drunk and laying in the gutter sounds flippant to me. it must be really tough to be civil to some shmuck who asks you asinine questions. like that french woman who wanted to kiss rob because she figured he looked depressed. rob’s smile went flat and he got this disgusted look on his face. luckily nick dragged him off.

  • Carolyn martinez

    Thank You Gossip Cop. Personally i appreciate your defending and supporting Rob. Rob’s fans know this is bullshit. This guy has been too busy to eat let alone drink. However, his fans cannot defend and support him like you can.

  • Maatje51

    I would need a drink as well if people write shit about me…
    btw, the Britts do drink, a lot, and it’s normal, it’s not an addiction like people in the US think…Britts just love their beer…
    Thank GossipCop for writing nothing but possitive things about Rob, I really enjoy visiting this site…

  • D. Martin

    I don’t think he has a drinking problem per se but there ARE photos of him on the web — one where he’s out with Nikki Reed — and the guy is CLEARLY drunk. At the time he was just 21 and making Twilight and just having a good time — when he COULD go out without being stalked or screamed at. Still that does not mean he has a “problem”. Like @Maaje51 states – I have heard that Brits like their beer so that’s probably all it is.

    i agree with the other part of your sentence, but the first not so much. rob isn’t perfect. as much as i love him, he’s not perfect. no one is; we all have flaws

  • Anonymous

    Give Rob a break!! He’s only 24. I’m sure he does go out drinking with friends and has probably been a little blitzed more than once. It’s only a big deal because he is in the public eye. Also Rob seems to say a lot of funny things in video interviews that don’t necessarily come off the same way in print. Plus I think when a lot of those quotes were said, he was just starting the whole Twilight saga. He has said that old quotes seem to follow him. I have to give him credit in the recent Water for Elephants promotion in that almost every press person asks him basically the same questions and he always answers as if it is the first time being asked. Gotta be hard repeating yourself to different people. This young mans genuinely seems like he has a good head of his shoulders.

  • http://profiles.google.com/jake.bellows123 Marie Bellows

    I would have to lean toward him having a problem. He looks awful for any morning pictures when he’s not filming. While he and Reese were promoting WFE overseas he looked like he had a hangover at all the photo shoots. Before everyone says he’s tired etc., remember Reese is older than him and she never looked bad.

  • Anonymous

    This story is total BS. In the first place, it says he’s been hanging out in L.A. He hasn’t been in L.A. since he was filming Water For Elephants last summer. He was in Baton Rouge from October to February and then Breaking Dawn filming moved to Vancouver. So anyone worried about him drinking in Los Angeles doesn’t have anything to worry about, since he hasn’t even been there in the past 9 months and he doesn’t drink when he’s working on a film.

    From the most recent Elle UK magazine interview with him, they asked, “Why doesn’t he just freeload and fool around?”

    Rob replied, “It just isn’t possible to get away with that stuff with camera phones around. I can’t do it. If I have four beers, I’m destroyed the entire next day. I just don’t understand how these stars used to go on benders all the time.” He pauses. “Cocaine. Must be.”

    So there you have his exact words on drinking. He can’t even drink a few beers any more.

  • Anonymous

    I thought he looked great at the premiere appearances, and if you thought he looked more tired than Reese it could be because he’s been working night and day on wrapping up Breaking Dawn. They made him work in Vancouver up until the last minute before he got on a plane in the middle of the night in order to make it to the WFE premiere in NY. He got no rest, flying from there to the Virgin Islands to do some more BD filming and flew from there to Europe to start the WFE tour there.

    He’s been working solid since last October. If you think he looks tired, he’s got a reason and it’s not alcohol. Reese hasn’t been working for months and she wore concealer and foundation for the premiere photos, Rob didn’t.

  • Robsessed1986

    Yes it is true that Reese is older but you are forgetting that Rob has been working non stop for…..what? a year now? He doesn’t have any problem as far as drinking. He enjoys a beer here and there and as a 24, almost 25 year old man, he is entitled to do so. He’s tired…period.

  • Robsessed1986

    Actually, Rob did get to LA a couple of times after filming WFE. One was the re-shoots for WFE. In any case, he simply hasn’t had the time or the inclination, as far as I understand, to be going on benders. Just an occasional beer. Which does not equal to a drinking problem.

    I only remember him spending one weekend north of Los Angeles on location when they didn’t really do reshoots, they shot the happy family footage that was shown at the end of the film. He was working that whole time, two hours north of L.A., not hanging out in bars. This story from the Enquirer is total BS and they only made it up because they don’t really have any dirt on him and they want to capitalize on his fame. They should be ashamed but they have no shame or integrity.

    he is now dealing with people who want to boycott wfe. because of cruelty to tai. that certainly wasnt his fault. now he is accused of drinking. this is the dark side of fame.

    this “story” is old and false!!

  • Robsessed1986

    No way, that is not fair to any of the actors who worked so hard on that film. As far as I have heard there was no type of animal abuse on set. These animals were trained years before this movie. They were trained to recognize certain movements or touches that, unfortunetly, are linked to the abuse they suffered to learn certain tricks, consequences for not doing as they were told. Like a tap on their shoulder. There is no way Rob or Reese or anyone else would know what those things meant. As far as I know, there is always someone on set to assure there is no abuse. While I am disgusted to learn Tai’s owners/trainers are abusive, I will not place blame on Rob, Reese, Christoph, or any other actor or crew member. That is what a boycott would be doing, persecuting the unknowing actors and crew members when they should be going after those directly responsible. I will support Rob, Reese, Christoph, and WFE!!

  • Anonymous

    I agree with you, but why do you think it was brought up now..

  • Robsessed1986

    Just to be controversial, to get thier 15 minutes. I support the cause against animal cruelty but I will not support persecuting innocent people.

  • Юлия Ратман

    Everything starts from the first bottle.

  • Robsessed1986

    I’ve seen and dealt with both alcoholics and drug addicts on a personal level. Having said that, I see no evidence of Rob having a problem with either. He functions well, especially for some one who works as hard as he does, without any real sleep sometimes. When and if Rob starts acting like Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan, then that’s when we will know he has a problem.
    And I agree with you….drinking everyday is serious, and people like that need help.

  • Юлия Ратман

    I think the safe doze is one drink a day, but not five buttles of beer a day. He tells he has been drinking like this for more than a year. Maybe he feels good because he’s young and strong, that why it’s more dangerous – he’s still destroing his health. I wound not like him to act like Sheen, that why it’s healthy to stop. I want him to have a good life.

    He can enjoy a beer, he is a young man that is totally legal to drink alcohol both in England and the U.S. I think he needs to quite smoking, that’s really bad for him and most especially his vocal chords (he sings). But, it’s his life. He did say that he really hasn’t been drinking because he feels bad the next day and that’s why he can’t understand how some actors and actresses go on drinking binges and can still get up for work the next day. In the end, I really do think he is doing great considering the pressure he has been under this past year. He’ll be ok, no worries. He is incredibly mature for his age. If he was an American with this kind of money and fame, then I would worry.

  • Юлия Ратман

    I know it’s legal, in my country it’s legal from 18 years old. End I know he sings. I hope he’ll be o’k. I think he’s smart and if it’s so, he would quite smoking. I don’t drink alcohol at all and any of it is too much for me. I just belive he drinks too much for me to feel restful. I guess it’s hard to live under such pressure, but I’m pretty sure that alcohol won’t help him. It can only makes things worse. I hope he understands it and he’ll be careful. I think he needs another ways to relax. I mean safe ways.

    What safe ways? He can’t go anywhere without the fans descending around him, which is so sad. He has already said that he is not drinking that much because it utterly destroys him the next day. He will be fine. He’s a smart man, a good head on his shoulders. Did you hear that WFE has grossed $82 million worldwide? I’m so very happy for him! He’s just too busy to be messing around like the trashloids say he is. Don’t worry.

  • Robsessed1986

    I know…..I love it too! I love to hear him sing and play guitar. He has a beautiful and raw/rough voice. I have been waiting a long time for them to release that song, I’m so glad they finally did! His songs are so very emotional and raw …..I don’t know…..I just love his music!!
