Pattinson Refusing to Work Out for The Batman?
Robert Pattinson, the latest in a long line of actors to take up the mantle of the Caped Crusader, has been met with mixed reception at the news of his casting as the Dark Knight. Many fans, most familiar with Pattinson's work in the Twilight franchise, were skeptical. However others, including many critics, were vocal and quick to point out Pattinson's many Oscar-caliber performances in recent years, most recently, in the film The Lighthouse.
However, while production on The Batman has been halted due to the ongoing COVID-18 pandemic, GQ was able to catch up with Pattinson, and had a chance to ask him about his quarantine, specifically about his workout regimen, which has many fans questioning Pattinson's commitment to the role. In response to a question about his workouts, Pattinson had this to say:
"I think if you're working out all the time, you're part of the problem," he says, sighing. By "you" he means other actors. "You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the '70s. Even James Dean--he wasn't exactly ripped."
Many have been vocal in saying that this is the wrong mindset to have regarding The Batman, especially with such an iconic role. Pattinson has not commented since.
