Christina Ricci Calls Robert Pattinson a Lovely Individual

Was Broad­way always part of your plan?

No, I had ter­ri­ble stage fright, so peo­ple even­tu­ally stopped bring­ing it up. But when I was com­ing back from mak­ing Bel Ami with Robert Pat­tin­son, my agent, who also rep­re­sents Laura Lin­ney, asked me if I wanted to read for Time Stands Still, and I com­pletely for­got I had stage fright. Lit­er­ally, walk­ing home from the audi­tion, I was like, Oh, shit, I just remem­bered I hate act­ing in front of peo­ple. So now I’m sort of ignor­ing it.

I love how casu­ally you just name­dropped R-Patz. Are you a Twi­light fan?

OK, first of all, pub­li­cists train you to say your cred­its along with your costars. You can’t be shy about self-promotion; it’s like Kathy Grif­fin or some­thing. [Laughs] I’m a very lazy pop cul­ture fan—if it involves leav­ing my liv­ing room, I’m pretty clueless—so I’ve never seen a sin­gle Twi­light movie, and I guess I missed it when it was on Starz. But Rob’s a lovely individual.

Do you two share a love scene in Bel Ami?

We do. But he’s like your best friend’s lit­tle brother, so we would just laugh and make fun of each other the entire time. He thought it was out­ra­geous how com­fort­able I was being naked. I was like, “That’s because I’m 20 years older than you.” Seri­ously, I’ve never felt so old in my entire life.
