Robert Pattinson is one of the world’s most famous and popular actors. He has been in a long-term romantic relationship with the English singer and songwriter, Katy Perry. Together, they have a beautiful daughter named Iris. The family’s life is very private, and they rarely do interviews, so when a reporter from Details asked Robinson if he would do porn, the actor was a little taken aback.
“I’m not doing any porn. That’s not what this is about,” he said. “I appreciate [perception is] everything, but no, I’m not into porn.”
The reporter followed up by asking whether he’s ever thought about doing porn. “I’ve been asked that before, and I’ve joked with people about it. But no, I’m not into porn,” he reiterated.
Rumors about the 40-year-old actor and porn superstar have been circulating since Perry was 20 years old. In 2019, she said in an interview with Howard Stern that she and Bob had “done a little bit” of porn, but that she’d “never been a complete whore” and, therefore, never shot an entire porn film by herself. Some people took this as a not-so-veiled endorsement of Bob’s career in adult films.
In 2020, Pattinson addressed these rumors in an interview with Rolling Stone. “We’ve definitely done some sexy stuff for fun,” he said. “But I would never do porn. Never.”
Pattinson went on to say that he and Perry thought it would be fun to film a sex tape for their fans and friends, but that they decided it wasn’t a good idea after thinking about what kinds of roles they were likely to get cast in. “The more we thought about it, the more uncomfortable we became. I don’t want to do that; it’s not what I do. I don’t want to be seen like that. I want to be seen as a regular person,” he said.
“I’ve always tried to help other people’s careers. I’ve always believed in supporting other artists,” he continued. “But at the same time, I want my own identity and don’t want to be defined by my girlfriend or my daughter. It’s just personally not something I want to do.”
Perry has since spoken out against doing porn. In April 2021, she shared an essay for Refinery 29 in which she blasts the concept of porn stars as “traitors to [her] sex-positive views.” In the essay, she also reveals that she and Bob have broken up. “I feel like a fool,” she wrote. “I would never do porn, and I let myself be convinced. I’ve never been a good student of marketing or fame – I didn’t even have a mobile phone until I was 22 – but I learned some things from observing those around me.”
Why Do People Say He’ll Do Porn?
It’s no secret that Hollywood’s most beautiful and talented stars have more than one professional identity. Some are famous for their movies, while others are better known for their stage performances or their singing voices. Being a top-notch actor is a definite advantage in getting movie roles, especially in an age when it’s so easy for platforms like Netflix and Hulu to make their content available to anyone with a television set.
When it comes to casting choices, producers often go for A-list stars who can draw bigger audiences and sell more tickets to their movies. In 2019 alone, the top 20 highest-grossing movies were all based on either Marvel or DC Comics properties. This would suggest that audiences aren’t exactly warming up to new stories; they’re just looking for something to watch. It’s the same with porn. For many years, the most popular genres in the industry were teen sex comedies and gangbang scenes, both of which feature attractive people having sex with multiple partners. Now, since the pandemic, adult movies have taken a hit, and producers are looking for ways to earn a profit, even from online platforms like PornHub, which makes it easier for anyone to shoot and upload a sex video.
Who Is The Real Face Of Porn?
When it comes to deciding who is and isn’t featured in porn, sometimes it just isn’t practical to identify a star’s face. When asked about her work with popular pornographers such as Joel Stanley and Lexi Belle, porn star Mya Stone said, “Sometimes I don’t even know who the fuck they [the pornographers] are [when I meet them]… I don’t even know what country they’re from. It’s not like I get to read their minds and know what they want or need.”
Other times, knowing who the face of porn is can be quite helpful. When asked about how she got involved in the adult film industry, porn star Valentina Nappi said, “I got involved when I was 18 years old and was trying to figure out what to do with my life. I actually approached a couple of adult film studios and asked if they had any roles for me. One of the directors there was actually the brother-in-law of a friend of mine, so I kind of got the greenlight to do it.”
He Has A Past.
Although he would never shoot a porn video or act in one, it is still quite common for A-list Hollywood stars to dabble in modeling, even though it’s a job that can be quite taxing on their bodies. Over the years, Bob Pattinson has done plenty of modeling, and at one point, he was Playboy’s “rookie of the year.” In 1992, he was chosen by People magazine as one of the “50 Most Beautiful People In The World.” In 2015, he was voted the sexiest male model in the world by New York magazine.
He Has Lots Of Cash.
In 2020, Forbes released a list of the 30 richest actors and actresses. The publication estimated that the collective net worth of these stars was a staggering $16 billion.
This is mostly thanks to lucrative endorsement deals, which have become popular in recent years, as well as savvy investments in real estate. In 2019, Forbes estimated that the collective net worth of these celebs was a staggering $16 billion.
He Has A Family.
In 2019, Forbes released a list of the 100 most powerful and influential people in the world. The publication estimated that the collective net worth of these people was a staggering $16.7 billion. The number one spot on this list was quite an accomplishment for Bob, as he was just below Bill Gates and ahead of Donald Trump.
However, this was likely just a matter of time. In 2019 alone, Forbes estimated that the collective net worth of these 100 most powerful individuals rose by 13%, and it was most likely due to the increased value of real estate and investments. Even more impressively, most of these people have managed to keep a very low public profile, which makes it harder for the general public to discover and learn about them.
Overall Impression
Despite his objections, it’s clear that Bob Pattinson is well aware of and appreciates the fact that his presence in the adult film industry is quite popular. He’s even said that he wouldn’t say no if the right opportunity came along. But as much as he might want to, he knows and we know that he’s not going to give up his privacy or his family for fame and fortune.
So for now, he’s going to keep doing what he’s pretty good at – acting. He’s also going to keep supporting other artists, whether they’re in the adult film industry or not.
