The photos of Robert Pattinson have gone viral. But while many of the images are perfectly harmless, there are actually a lot of reasons why the actor’s supposed hotness is so frustrating to some people.
What’s more, there are a few reasons why this year’s Oscar winner hasn’t quite been giving us the action hero we’ve been hankering for. So let’s dive in. We’ll discuss the most common rumors and compare them to the facts.
He’s Been In A Skintight Leotard As Early As 2007
It all started in 2007 with a shot from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Back then, the actor was wearing a skin tight leotard that barely covered anything. Now, it’s almost like he was born in one. It’s almost impossible to find a picture of him where he’s not posing in some way or another. Even when he’s out with his wife and kids, he’s usually got his arm around them or touching them in some way. It’s like he can’t help himself.
This tendency toward always being physically affectionate towards others is one of the reasons why many people are suspicious of him. It’s not always a good thing to be so open and kind all the time, especially when you’re an attractive male dating or married to an even more attractive female. People may mistake your displays of affection as sexual advances. It’s not that you’re not allowed to be touchy-feely with your loved ones; it’s that you have to be mindful of how others perceive you.
He Owns A $20 Million Worth Of Jewelry
When he’s not busy saving the world or being the best husband and father possible, the actor likes to spend his free time indulging in his passions for food and drink. One of his better-known and more lucrative jewelry purchases was a $20 million collection of sapphire and diamond earrings. According to rumors, he purchased the pieces as a present for his wife. Regardless of whether this is true or not, this type of lavish jewelry purchase is not typical for the actor. He’s more often found wearing simple and elegant gold jewelry, both on and off screen. Perhaps this is because he doesn’t want to draw too much attention to himself or his jewelry.
He And His Wife Are Splitting Their Loyalties
For a while, it appeared that Robert Pattinson’s star was on the rise. He won an Oscar for his performance in 2013’s The Necessary Death of Charlie Frost and received a well-deserved Bafta for his role in Beautiful Creatures. In addition to acting, he also produced the latter film, proving that he can hold his own in the business world. Along with his impressive filmography, he and his wife, Livia, began speaking out against the Trump administration’s immigration ban aimed at Muslims.
After spending four years living in L.A., the couple moved back to London, England, in 2017. It was there that they spent their wedding night, renewing their vows in front of an audience at London’s Westminster Abbey. And as if all that weren’t enough, the following day, he traveled to New York City to accept his second Oscar from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This is the kind of story that could get anybody excited about coming out to Hollywood.
It appears that Robert Pattinson is finally realizing his potential and living up to all the hype. He may not be giving us action-adventure stories like those found in the Batman or Ironman franchises, but he is proving to be quite the versatile actor. More important, he’s sharing his talents with those in need, including refugees and immigrants whose lives were upended by the travel ban that was put into place last year.
He Has A Bit Of A Wild Side
Many of us wouldn’t be upset if Hollywood stopped turning our favorite actors into superheroes and instead focused on giving us the characters we really want to see on the big screen. This is something that Robert Pattinson is definitely capable of. As a child, he dreamed of becoming an artist. While he didn’t end up following in his father’s footsteps, he did go on to become a graphic designer. This helps explain his affinity for taking his own sweet time answering questions and giving straightforward interviews. He also knows a thing or two about being unapologetic about his sexuality. In 2013, he came out as gay in an interview with Rolling Stone. He revealed that he’d been in a relationship with a man for seven years and was happily married to the person he wanted to spend his life with. He went on to say, “I’m proud to be gay, and I want other people to be proud to be gay too.”
He’s Got A Bad Habit Of Cheating
It’s one thing to have a taste for the finer things in life. It’s another thing entirely to go out and buy them. The rumors about Robert Pattinson may be referring to his indulgent spending habits. In his younger days, the actor reportedly had a taste for fast cars and expensive clothes, acquiring a taste for luxury that his acting career couldn’t quite quench. It was also rumored that he had an entourage of women who accompanied him to concerts and other fashionable events. This is probably why he’s never been seen in public with just one female friend. In the years since he’s been married, he’s mostly kept to himself and his family. But even then, he was known to get close with people who were much shorter than him. His hobby of collecting shoes led him to purchase a pair of Pumas at a London store for £150,000 ($203,400). He then proceeded to throw them away as soon as he got them, revealing that he doesn’t wear expensive shoes and doesn’t intend on wasting his time with something he doesn’t need.
He Thinks It’s Fun To Annoy People
It’s quite a feat to annoy people on purpose. It takes a lot of self-control not to laugh at the funny things that come out when you’re trying to be serious. For instance, when it comes to press conferences, the actor has a knack for making journalists question their intentions. When he was 19 years old, he attended his first press conference, which was held for the premiere of his first movie, Water for Elephants. When asked by Entertainment Tonight whether he had any funny anecdotes from the set of the film, he replied, “Not really. It was very serious. I read a lot of books and followed a lot of rules. It was very cool. I liked acting, and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it. It wasn’t just to piss off journalists.”
It’s this combination of talent and cheek that has made him famous, as well as the fact that he seems to enjoy sticking it to the man. From his role as Johnny Depp’s pal in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to his turn in the comedy Murder on the Orient Express, Robert Pattinson has proven time and time again that he’s more than capable of delivering a sarcastic comeback to any question about his personal life or work. He’s made a career out of being deliberately provocative, and this has endeared him to fans far and wide.
While it would be wonderful to see more out of him, we have to remind ourselves that this is the same actor who was once married to Elizabeth Taylor, was immortalized as Edward Cullen in the hit Twilight Saga, and played one of Marvel Comics’ most recognized and despicable characters, the villainous Magneto in the X-Men franchise. Just because he’s getting all this attention that is more than a little unsettling, to say the least. However, it’s important to note that this is all just gossip and speculation. It’s not like he’s actually done any of these things.
