Have you seen The Lighthouse yet?

[@Jlivest]

Yes! It was fantastic and Rob deserves the BAFTA for his performance. I'm so made he was snubbed stateside though.

[@LifeofMarie267]

Yes! It was amazing.

[@janabella8schneider462]

Of course. It's genius masterpiece. It's victory of author's cinema. Bellisimo 👌💜 Imho

[@LifeofMarie267]

@@Jlivest you and me both. Sadly here in the States, he's always thought of as that "sparkly vampire from Twilight." He's way more than that.

[@4Distractiononly]

Yes it was astounding

[@camsasser]

I've followed him for ten years now and can honestly say he gets better every year. He's on fire right now and no sign of it stopping. Yes, he's beautiful, but his talent shines just as brightly as those eyes and that smile. Can't wait to see him as Bruce Wayne, and everything else he's got coming down the line.

[@LifeofMarie267]

He's like a fine wine...gets better with age.

[@camsasser]

@Chelsea Loves To Smile Yesssss! I've watched it a dozen times already. I knew he'd have an incredible take on Bruce/Batman, but he has exceeded all expectations. Wow. Can't wait to see the whole thing!

[@koala7254]

i hiked these 10 years within a month. It started with a netflix vampire binge in lockdown. then twilight was recommended. and now i nearly watched every movie he was part of. "the rover" - my favourite so far.

His lovely voice is like natural asmr to my ears. MUSIC TO OUR EARS.

[@withme1461]

Fuck

[@LifeofMarie267]

Agreed. God that accent gets me every time.

[@dipeshdubey4652]

yesss

[@rachele4005]

I find so difficult to focus on what he's saying, I just keep getting lost in the melody of his voice

[@sienna2coldplay]

YES!!! I could listen to this man talk for hours. So many of his interviews are on my ASMR playlist ☺️🥰 I hope he does an ASMR recording one day...

[@justdrowniing]

rob: doesn’t break down into giggles in the first part me: 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘂𝗽

[@rareflower72]

This man is an awesome actor. He knows how to be invisible and the character shows. It just amazing to see him at work.

[@hxneybee4049]

yess!! people like you who understand!!

[@eftelyak6035]

HE IS AMAZING. I hope he will win an oscar soon. He deserves it

[@WaseemWaseem-sw8wb]

Right

[@bigsexygoat8]

tbh he should have won for good time

[@bigsexygoat8]

@Prabhjot kaur I mean 2019 was a tough year for lead actor but I still agree

[@Ruffahhhoruwork_part2]

Micky film going to relese in 2024

[@eronblue3098]

Agreed!!!

[@trinityanddavid3564]

i can listen to his voice alllll dayyyyyyy

[@LifeofMarie267]

I know. It's like, "Please keep talking." It's that accent, I tell you.

[@Talis7212]

Robert did way better in The Lighthouse than people give credit for, he was very good with the little humourous moments

[@farrago2921]

Exactly.

[@soliviakatharine]

His eyes have so much character.

[@MariadefatimafMelo]

❤

[@abid.mohammedhassan.6759]

Damn he getting bigger really has been training

[@LifeofMarie267]

Well, yeah...he is going to be the next Batman.

[@julissa6715]

I’ve noticed too

[@grudtt2428]

I could spend the rest of my life just looking at him and listening to his voice...

[@farrago2921]

Omg me too! He's too gorgeous to be even real.

[@farrago2921]

Every year he just gets more and more gorgeous, wtf. Needless to mention, more talented and passionate about his incredible career. I love him from the depth of my heart and I hope he's going to be extraordinarily successful in his upcoming works. He deserves so much more than what he already has.

[@Julia200707]

he has to continue to sing songs, his voice is so magic 💫

[@lubamcmaugh9448]

It would be fabulous for fans if Rob found time to record his songs..his voice is powerful, passionate and amazing. Love, I Was Broken, It's All On You..and I'll Make Love to You - a rather hilarious somewhat intoxicated version with Katy Perry but I still preferred their version to the original Boyz Ii Men version. He has an incredibly powerful voice..and there is Honey Bun he sings in Damsel..the list goes on..SO talented is Rob Pattinson 💕

[@galvinpro]

I see Batman in him. He was destined for this role.

[@burpie3258]

It was a great movie 😎

[@eva.1795]

HES SO P R E C I O U S

[@LifeofMarie267]

Seriously, this guy is amazing. Such a talent and very easy on the eyes.

[@Kkkkkk-io4ul]

I love his voice and his smile...

[@emmabauer1906]

He's so great. The Lighthouse has been his best yet.

[@neumanasare8864]

Good time is his best performance

[@AmberBootheCat]

@@neumanasare8864 I love both performances, but I recently re-watched The Lighthouse, and he is phenomenal in that. Incredible performance all around.

[@miaferrari958]

You're all correct: both of those performances were his best and the fact that they're two completely different characters played perfectly just goes to show what range he has.

[@MrChaseBlue]

Mia Ferrari for me. Good time > High Life > The Lighthouse

[@corriegibson1208]

Great interview. He did a great job of explaining his mindset/take on acting in films. Think it’s authentic, which is hard to read from him sometimes in interviews. The movie was great also.

[@joannphoto]

Anybody who says his acting in Twilight was bad, don't know anything about Edward. He played Edward, a neurotic, frantic, obsessive, insecure, creature who felt superior to mere humans and fell in love with Bella, a person he plotted to kill in his first meeting with her. His emotional roller coaster was perfectly portrayed by Pattinson and I'm grateful he took on the role. I'm not happy he seems to regret it though, that makes me sad.

[@NatalieMosack]

I totally agree! Yeah there are cringey lines in Twilight, but the acting isn’t the problem. I think he played Edward spot on. I don’t think he regrets Twilight, just the fame and craziness that came along with it (at least that’s what I hope lol). 😊

[@YJ_SH]

That fanbase from that franchise can be hella toxic though, I won't say all of them are like that, but many of them are especially if you go on twitter and you read how they keep picking him apart especially more so these days out of bitter jealousy for their faves and when he's going to have a bigger acting career breakthrough now more than ever, then I don't think you can blame him really for having certain regrets. Especially when they go overboard in interfering with what he does. I mean these kind of toxic stans also go on his friends IG to harrass them. Nevertheless he has always expressed gratitude to those who have genuinely supported him. But of course the batman franchise might have these certain toxic stans too, but I doubt they are going to be as problematic as the twi ones, just pointing out what's quite evident already.

[@treytilley333]

@@NatalieMosack I don’t think he regrets it, I think the image that was created was bad for other films he tried to audition for. But twilight was his breakthrough. I’m sure the money he didn’t dislike lol And now he’s Batman so I’m pretty sure he dislikes some aspects that Twilight brought especially with the crazy fanbase due to the fact he’s a chaotic introvert lol but I agree that he was a really good actor in those movies and brought Edward to life from what I understand from the books.

"More crooked than a Virginie (Virginia) fence." LOL!

[@MizzAnthrope]

@@LifeofMarie267 The line is, "You're drunker than a Virginie fence." A Virginie fence is one that's all twisted up in different directions. Basically, it means really fucked up drunk, lol.

[@jademelinlo]

Did he say more crooked than a Virginia fence? ❤ Had to look that one up myself!

Yes, he said, 'crooked'. But the line was actually, "You're drunker than a Virginie fence", lol.

He doesnt seem broken as bruce wayne but i think he will surprise us

[@cprw10]

Have you watched this movie? Have you watched his "broken" characters in his different movies? (and I'm not talking about twilight).. In real life he's not at all like the characters he plays, and yet he pulls them off, that's why they're call actors..
