Did you know that Robert Pattinson had a funny habit of lying during certain interviews he gave to the press?
Robert Pattinson is a great actor. But he’s also… a big liar! For many years, the one who impressed in The Batman regularly tells big canards when he talks to the press, as he recently recalled at the microphone of GQ.
But why does the 36-year-old British actor, who rose to international fame with the Twilight saga, multiply his lies in interviews? There is no specific reason, Robert Pattinson, most of the time, just doing this… like this!
After the success of the first Twilight, it was not in front of journalists that Robert Pattinson lied, but in front of casting agents, who worried about his English accent. “So I used to come to interviews every time as a different person, an American person. I would say I was from Michigan”says the actor.
And so it was then in front of the press that Pattinson showed himself to be a storyteller. The actor (term to be taken in both senses) for example has long claimed that he had been not just a model, which is true, but also a “hand model”, which is false.
In 2012, he also told Jimmy Kimmel that he was homeless, and the Chicago Tribune that his hair style was the result of years without washing his hair. A long period of dubious hygiene during which he would also, according to his statements of no less doubtful credibility, not clean his apartment.
Science has decided: the most handsome man in the world is… Robert Pattinson!
Another big lie from Pattinson? The one, quite huge, where he claimed without blinking to have been a member of the British royal family and to have rubbed shoulders with Prince William on the benches of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Without going so far as to affirm that Robert Pattinson is an inveterate liar, it is therefore necessary all the same to be careful of what the Hollywood star says, quite capable of bullshitting Christopher Nolan. Thus, on the set of Tenet, the actor pretexted a family emergency to go and pass the trials of The Batman!
These few liberties taken with the truth, lies delivered sometimes without reason, sometimes in the tone of the joke, did not prevent Pattinson from becoming an essential actor. One of the next steps for the star: the main role of Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s new film after Parasite. And that’s no joke!
