My fav Rob vid: "The Hug"

It's from one of my fav Rob moments on video: 

The Q&A session with the audience at the Austin Film Festival in Oct 2008. When he hugs that little girl and almost pees his pants with laughter and embarrassment. It's unbelievably sweet!

Transcript:

• Audience member Maya (little girl): "I have two questions. Uh one, could you sing to us?"
  
• Rob: "You know how I sounded in the movie. I’m terrible." 
  
• Maya: "Um, can I hug you?"
  
• Rob: "Yeah, if you want. You’ll probably be really disappointed, though. Ok, ok."  (walks over to the girl and hugs her with prompting from audience)
• Rob: "Are you alright? I don’t know what to do. I’m emotionally retarded, that’s why I’m never having kids" 

Here is the link to the video of the full Q&A session. The scene in question starts at about 5:50.

It's a must-see!! Enjoy...

What I like about this video too: 

It is all BEFORE Twilight. The director of "How to be", Oliver seemed to think he had made a snap, because he had (unknowingly) cast the "guy from Harry Potter". (LOL) He had NO IDEA what lay ahead...

• Oliver (to Rob): "When I cast you for the part I didn’t know about Harry Potter, I mean you said to me “oh yeah, whatever” and I was like “whatever”.  But it was after that, when we cast you, after, they were saying ‘Oh, you know you cast this guy that was in Harry Potter blah blah blah,” like you know, the telegraph person to look at, and I was like ‘Really? Ok, he just seemed right for the part, ya know, not that we didn’t have genuine casting choices, we just lucked out that we got the right person on the right day, you know.  That’s the way it works I guess, luckily.  But you know, two years or a year of looking for the right person, makes you eventually get lucky."
