Robert Pattinson swaps his fangs for a paintbrush in his latest movie role – the British actor plays Spanish artist Salvador Dalí in upcoming film Little Ashes.
In the film, set in 1922 and described by industry publication Variety as an “arty Bohemian romp,” the hunky 22-year-old portrays the Spanish surrealist painter (1904-1989) Dalí as a young man – in love with the poet Federico GarcÍa Lorca, played by Javier Beltran. The two meet at university and Lorca, according to the movie’s production notes, is attracted to Dalí’s “bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism.”
Little Ashes, which is set against the backdrop of fascist Spain, hits theaters in March.
Pattinson (pictured above as Dalí) is best known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight. He has also played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
