Robert Pattinson breaks down this acting detail from his Twilight performance
Robert Pattinson explains a strange acting detail from his Twilight performance. He revealed that he recently noticed an interesting acting choice he made in the movies, calling it a “very strange” moment. In a recent interview, he reflected on his acting in the teen fantasy-romance series.
In a video shared by Vogue, Pattinson pressed his index and middle fingers of each hand into the table surface to lower himself. The 39-year-old remarked, “There was one thing I did see the other day, which is quite funny, where I’m sitting down in the cafeteria the first time, and I’ve literally never noticed this, and I, for some reason, I go like this on the table to sit.”
“I thought it was an elegant, vampiric thing to do. I think that was what the thought process was. But looking at it 20 years later, you’re like, ‘Huh, it’s very strange,'” Pattinson added with a laugh.
Also, contrary to popular belief, he “loves” the Twilight series. The Drama star said, “I really love that movie. I think I would have done it exactly the same, to be honest. I don’t even think I’d be able to do the performance now.”
The Batman star confessed he “envies” his past self for taking this kind of acting seriously. He continued, “Everybody was approaching it so earnestly and took it really, really, really seriously. There was no kind of tongue-in-cheek element. No one’s winking at the audience. It’s like it’s very real, which is strange for a movie about a vampire romance.”
Fans backed him up in the comments section. One fan commented, “People forget that Rob was almost fired from the job because he took the role so seriously that he played Edward too intensely.” A second fan wrote, “They’re surprisingly earnest movies. Yes, they are weird, but they’re really entertaining anyway.”
