'Robert is good-looking, but he doesn't sparkle like in those Dracula movies'

CEBU, Philippines - He may be the co-star in her latest movie but that didn't stop Uma Thurman from being upfront about Robert Pattinson.

The 41-year-old actress was obviously expecting a question about the Twilight star when she appeared in this month's Harper's Bazaar UK magazine - and she was certainly ready to answer it.

“To answer the ubiquitous question about this movie, yes, Robert is good-looking in person, but he doesn’t have that diamond-sparkle skin like in those Dracula movies,” she said.

The mother-of-two was of course referring to upcoming film Bel Ami in which she plays Pattinson's secret love interest.

As she draped herself across a velvet sofa in an array of designer dresses, Thurman went on to say that she enjoyed the role very much.

“It was a fun character, a nice, meaty, dramatic role, and who doesn’t love an excuse to wear a corset?” she told the monthly publication.

But before she could change the subject, she had one more thing to say about Pattinson: “He’s a very disciplined, very serious, very ambitious, very organized actor.”

She also went on to explain how she feels she has proven the tough Hollywood industry wrong by still having a strong and successful career.

“There’s a lot of aggressive talk in this business. You turn 18 and they say you won’t have a career at 20. You turn 24 and they say you won’t last till you’re 30. Now it’s like, if I’m so over, why are you talking to me now?”

Thurman - who has two children, Maya, 13, and nine-year-old Levon - was married to actor Ethan Hawke for five years but admitted to Harper's Bazaar that she's never been happier than she is now.

Thurman began dating London-based financier Arpad Busson in 2007, but the relationship ended in November 2009. However, last year she was pictured with him again at the Marc Jacob Spring/Summer fashion show in Paris.
