Daniel mentions Robert, briefly in the interview. He talks a bit about the stunt work in New Moon.
The burning question posed by fans who adore both Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen: Which did you enjoy more- throwing around Wolverine or Edward Cullen?
No question about that one. “I definitely enjoyed throwing around Edward,” Daniel booms. “Wolverine was one toss.”
Daniel went on about working with Robert in the fight scene, and is proud of the fact that Robert took on a lot of the work himself.
“Robert and I worked together on a lot of it. He was a little apprehensive at first, but he enjoyed himself. Robert did one of the main sections of the fight.” Fortunately, Daniel and stunt man Simon had worked together on AVPR previously, so their rapport was intact. “Simon took some pretty hard hits on the ground, especially the ones where I’m throwing him on the floor from six feet above.”
When I asked if he created the illusion of slamming him from six feet above, making for a softer blow, Daniel simply chortled in response. “No, he took some really hard hits,” he said. “He was a good sport.”
