Robert Pattinson found massive love and support when he donned the cape of the vigilante of Gotham in Matt Reeves’ iconic 2022 movie The Batman. Before that role, Pattinson had also become famous for the role of Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, a role that he wished people would forget about.

Talking about the 2004 movie titled Vanity Fair, the actor portrayed the role of “Older Rawdey Crawley” but was uncredited for his work. With the actor being 18 years old at that time, Pattinson made quite an early debut in the realm of Hollywood. During the interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the interviewer asked Pattinson that surely he must have had some run-ins with other actors and how he asserted his dominance on the sets of his movies. The Goblet of Fire actor simply replied that he runs away from fights!
“I can’t. I just run away crying. No I don’t really. No, I mean, I just try and avoid and hopefully they’ll just see what they’re doing is wrong. Never ever ever works. It just gets worse and worse. But at the same time, I feel like it completely throws me off if I’m…if I have to say like ‘Hey! This is my process'”
With Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston sitting alongside him, the director went on to explain to the table that co-stars are like in-laws. You don’t have to like them but just work with them.
Robert Pattinson’s The Batman Finale Took 80 Takes To Shoot!
