The year is 2013. The Golden Globes red carpet is a searing, blinding gauntlet of flashbulbs, a chaotic ocean of shrieking fans and shouted questions. Robert Pattinson, the actor forever linked to *Twilight*, moves through the frenzy with a veneer of practiced charm, though a quiet weariness lingers behind his eyes. He sidesteps a thrust microphone, offers a tight smile to a screaming fan, and finally slips through the doors into the relative quiet of the ceremony hall, the weight of his celebrity clinging to him like a second skin as he finds his table. The cameras' distant pops still echo from outside.
