Fans of movie star Robert Pattinson were left in stitches as the actor says he tries to avoid watching horror films.
The Batman and Twilight star suggested he does not enjoy watching scary movies and instead opts to watch lighter films. He said: “I kept thinking that someone was breaking into my house… so I was sitting on my sofa with 2 kitchen knives… then I fell asleep with them basically in my neck. It was probably a squirrel”.
The lead actor, aside from playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, is best-known for his work in thrillers and unnerving features like The Lighthouse and The Devil All the Time, which left fans surprised by his desire to avoid scary movies.
One user joked: “Facts that’s why I don’t watch them. I’ve never understood how people like Stephen King sleep at night”. Another wrote: “I expected more from Batman”. A third added: “But he is Batman”.
Fans appear to find it ironic that the man who is currently portraying Batman is scared of watching horror films. One wrote: “Even Batman gets scared”. Another joked: “I hate to be repetitive but this is the most Bruce Wayne interview ever”.
Some even said he was right to avoid horror films. One wrote: “Finally someone who gets it. Anything horror or gore related. I am not built for it”. Another added: “We’re the same”. A third wrote: “R-pat just like me. I don’t watch horror films either”.
Other fans of the actor were delighted to hear him talk of horror films as they suggested he may be lying. One wrote: “Every time I read a new quote from Robert Patterson I’m always pleasantly surprised at just how real he is”. Another posted a screenshot where Pattinson had previously admitted to occasionally lying in interviews.
Pattinson made headlines for lying about an incident which involved witnessing a clown explode. In a 2011 interview, where Pattinson was promoting Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part One, he claimed the clown had blown up.
He said: “]The clown’s] little car exploded — the joke car exploded on him. Yeah, seriously. My parents had to, like— everyone ran out. It was terrifying…. The only time I’ve ever been to a circus”.
Pattinson has since claimed this is a lie, and suggested he had made it up in the interview but had no idea what compelled him to invent an exploding clown. He said: “There was absolutely no hesitation at all]in my voice]”.
Not everyone has believed Pattinson’s comments on avoiding horror films, with one fan suggesting he may be lying about this as well. They wrote: “Oh, I know he’s lying here”!
Pattinson’s comment comes as the star promotes his recent film, Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon-ho. The Parasite film director’s latest feature is in cinemas now.
