Robert Pattinson, now 38, has been reflecting on his old habit of spinning tall tales to the press. During the 2011 global publicity tour for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1", he made a rather outlandish claim that he saw a clown die in a car explosion when he was a child. This falsehood has been following him for a decade.

Unraveling Robert Pattinson's Press Tales and Future Ventures

Reflecting on the Past

During that time in his career, Pattinson often embellished stories or outright lied when talking to the press. He explained that he was bored of being asked the same questions repeatedly. For instance, he claimed to be a women's hand model and spread other tales like taking a stalker to dinner and shooting a coprophilia scene for "Twilight" that didn't make the final cut. These elaborate stories were a way for him to add some spice to otherwise mundane interviews.

He once recounted an airport employee's confusion when she mistook him for the "Twilight" star and asked why he had stopped acting. He was taken aback and replied, "I'm Batman?" with a hint of amusement. This shows how his press antics often led to unexpected moments.

Pattinson's love for getting a rise out of the press with his elaborate tales is a part of his past that has left a lasting impression.

Upcoming Projects

Pattinson is currently gearing up for some exciting ventures. He recently wrapped on the dark sci-fi film "Mickey 17", which is set for release in April 2025. This is his first live-action role since donning the "Batman" cape in 2022. He will also be reprising his role as Bruce Wayne in "The Batman Part II", which is set to go into production next year and likely be released in 2026.

In addition to these major projects, he has been filming "The Drama" with Zendaya in Boston and completed "Die, My Love" with co-star Jennifer Lawrence. When not working, he spends time with his partner Suki Waterhouse. The couple has been dating since 2018 and welcomed a daughter in March.

Pattinson's diverse range of projects and personal life make him a fascinating figure in the entertainment industry.
