Robert Pattinsonmight be one of the most famous and acclaimed actors of modern filmmaking, and yet some fans still only know the British actor because of his main role in the widely popular young adult vampire flicks in theTwilightseries. AlthoughThe Batmanactor has had a steady career since the beginning of his acting escapades, including films like Christopher Nolan’sTenetand Robert Eggers’The Lighthouse, some fans seem to have forgotten about his resume entirely.
In a recent interview withThe New York Times Style Magazine, Pattinson recalled a funny moment that occurred while traveling with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse.Pattinson told the magazine that, while going through passport control at the airport, an immigration officer stopped the internationally famous actor, who she said she recognized from his work inTwilight, to ask why he’d stopped acting.The actor was stunned by the question, seeing as he had recently skyrocketed into a new level of fame after assuming the role of the most well-known vigilante, Batman.
The confused actor tried to tell the immigration officer that he was the caped crusader, and apparently, she simply laughed, probably not believing the traveler. For fans of his earlier, more sparkly, work, Pattinson is still frozen in time, in the blue-ish glow of the late 2000s. However, the long-time entertainer was a part of an even bigger franchise before his time as a vampire, with his heartbreaking portrayal of Cedric Digory inHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.He seems to have matured quite a bit between filming for the two wildly different franchises, soTwilightfans must have fallen even more in love with the brooding Edward than the competitive Cedric.
“‘Hey, you’re the guy from ‘Twilight.’ Why’d you stop acting?’ Pattinson wasn’t sure how to respond. ‘I was like …, “I’m Batman?” he says. ‘She just laughed.'” - The New York Times Sttyle Magazine
