Robert Pattinson on making up tales throughout interviews
Robert Pattinson has been mendacity throughout interviews for a very long time, and for a enjoyable motive.
The actor, recognized for his offbeat humor and tendency to spin tall tales in press interviews, not too long ago revisited one in every of his more odd moments from 2011.
Whereas rewatching a tv interview from that 12 months, the Twilight star was reminded of a made-up story he shared throughout the promotional tour for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Daybreak – Half 1.
Within the interview, Pattinson claimed to have witnessed a clown dying in a little-car explosion as a toddler. Reflecting on the second, he advised The New York Instances Type Journal, “There was absolutely no hesitation at all [in my voice]. I’m like, ‘What on earth? Are you possessed?’”
Pattinson admitted that making-up tales grew to become a coping mechanism throughout the top of his Twilight fame, as he was usually requested repetitive questions on superstar life.
“The only thing people would ever ask me about was being famous,” he mentioned. “You go into, like, a fugue state.”
A few of Pattinson’s different wild tales included being a ladies’s hand mannequin, taking a stalker out to dinner, and filming a deleted coprophilia scene for Twilight.
These outlandish anecdotes, whereas completely false, have been his method of including humour into the boredom that got here with press excursions.
