It’s been quite the year for Hollywood’s heartthrob—and the world’s biggest fitness fan—Robert Pattinson. Not only did he celebrate his 24th birthday in style, hitting the town dressed in custom tailored suits and trendy t-shirts emblazoned with the letters P.A.L. (Pattinson, Awkward Lover); but his acting career also took off in 2018, culminating in the much-anticipated arrival of his first major motion picture, For Your Eyes Only, alongside returning rival and on-screen sweetheart, Jennifer Lawrence. But beyond the silver screen, the former Twilight starlet continued to wow audiences with her strength, inspiring fellow Hollywood stars to don their running gear and take on the great outdoors. In fact, as 2018 rolled on, it became clear that fitness was on the lips of everyone, with the phrase ‘fitness wave’ emerging as a popular way of describing the zeitgeist of the moment in Hollywood.
Pattinson’s Health And Fitness Routine
While his off-screen activities may be putting his health and fitness regime under a microscope, Pattinson himself has remained incredibly private throughout his career, rarely discussing his personal life and workout routine with the media. Perhaps that’s because he knows how much his fans adore everything about him, from his charming facial expressions to his amazing body. And what’s more, the star often dons designer labels that are unrivaled for their luxury and craftsmanship, showcasing his incredible taste as a lover of high-quality fashion.
Pattinson is known to be a big fan of luxury gym memberships, spending many of his well-earned millions on expensive fitness equipment and classes, which he uses to stay in perfect shape. Indeed, the actor has previously admitted that he spends a large amount of his time working out, hitting the gym five to six days a week.
The British actor’s muscular frame has long drawn admiring looks from Hollywood stars and the public alike, with GQ calling him “the most naturally handsome man on the planet” in 2015, and the New York Times describing his physique as “something out of a comic book” earlier this year.
Bodybuilder Or Movie Star?
The reason behind Pattinson’s celebrity is undoubtedly his incredible physique. The six-foot-one actor has proven time and time again that he’s got what it takes to be a bodybuilder, packing on muscle mass and winning many competitions along the way. And while he may play leading men in Hollywood films, it’s the physique of a seasoned power lifter that ultimately wins the day.
Pattinson showcased his impressive arm strength and bulging biceps in the 2017 movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, taking on multiple roles as a stunt double, including that of a bodybuilder named Rick. The movie is based on the true story of stuntman Cliff Booth, who trained alongside Rick in preparation for the role. In the film, Booth is heard to utter the famous line: “You could beat up any dude any day of the week. That’s what I love about you, man. You could be beating up a taxi driver right now.”
But it’s not just about the muscles: while the gym-going routine may have helped boost his overall physique, it’s also important to note that the star has a very distinctive and unique look, drawing influence from a number of sources. As well as traditional English and European influences, including an affinity for tailoring and quality fabrics, Pattinson’s style can be attributed to a range of fashion and cultural figures, from Christian Dior to George Clooney, whose work he’s often featured in.
From Twilight To Bodybuilding
If the above images don’t have you convinced that Robert Pattinson is one of the most uniquely handsome men in the world, then perhaps these will. The British actor is best known for playing the lead role of vampire Edward Cullen in the wildly popular Twilight film series, but aside from his movie appearances, Pattinson has gained a massive following for his portrayal of bespoke suits, soft tweeds, and stylish loafers.
In fact, the man often chosen to play the part of Edward’s arch enemy, and later on, boyfriend, Jacob Black, has said that he was initially attracted to the role because of the fashion side of it, but later realized that he was acting in what would become one of the greatest love stories of all time.
Not content with two critically acclaimed films under his belt, Pattinson has continued to work hard, appearing in a number of critically acclaimed and popular movies, including the upcoming Twilight spin-off, Twilight Saga: The Broken Pieces. He plays a lead role as a bodybuilder in the upcoming movie Bombshell, and will next be seen in the action film Eclipse, co-starring with Jessica Chastain and Kellyn Taylor.
The actor has also been chosen to play the title role in the much-anticipated James Bond movie, Bond 25, which hits theaters just before Christmas 2020. If that wasn’t enough, the former Twilight star has also been courted by Hollywood studios, with Warcraft and Star Wars reportedly showing interest in the actor for upcoming movies. Stay tuned.
