Robert Pattinson is arguably the most followed actor on Instagram, with over 400 million followers. Having made a name for himself with critically acclaimed films like ‘Cosmo’, ‘Watercolor’ and ‘Lion’, the English actor has continued to rack up some serious clout on the platform.
Pattinson’s latest cinematic project, ‘Embrace of the Serpent’, is set to be released next year. The $17 million dollar epic, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, tells the story of Coloté Toxte, a brilliant young indigenous intellectual who seeks to expose the European colonizers who abuse and exploit his people. However, he soon finds himself pursued by a group of powerful men who want to either silence him or use him for their own ends.
“When I first saw ‘Embrace of the Serpent’, I was completely taken aback by how beautiful, raw and powerful it was. Seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy in these roles, it’s clear that Pattinson has managed to tap into some very deep reservoirs of talent,” said Anna Puri, co‐founder of FlixBuzz, a YouTube brand and studio. “Not only can he act, but he also seems to have a good eye for film design and cinematography. This is a real find.”
Pattinson, who grew up in London and later moved to Los Angeles, started his career in 2004 with a string of low‐budget indies, including ‘Pennyworth’, ‘Watermelon’, and ‘Lionsgate’. He then went on to star in critically acclaimed English‐language films, including the aforementioned ‘Lion’. Most recently, he starred alongside Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell in the psychological thriller ‘MacFarland’. For his performance, he was nominated for an Academy Award.
The Most Instagrammed Actor on TikTok
On TikTok – another social media platform with over 500 million monthly active users – Pattinson is not only the most followed celebrity, but he has also amassed a significant following with his videos. The actor, who has over a million followers on TikTok, has built up a strong following with short, snappy videos, usually around 10 to 15 minutes long, using a mix of comedy and drama. He often posts about his travels, films and books, and uses popular hashtags like #pattinson, #tptbt, and #robertpattinson on his videos’ platforms.
Pattinson has been called “the renaissance man of social media” by Variety, and it’s quite the compliment. The English actor is not only an accomplished film maker, but he is also an accomplished photographer, designer, and artist. In fact, he was named one of the Top 100 Most Influential People on the Platform in 2020.
Why Is Everyone Talking About This Guy?
When it comes to why people are reacting so favourably to Robert Pattinson, it’s worth considering a few things. First, the fact that he is relatively unknown in the United States may actually work in his favour. The English actor is relatively unknown in the US, which is one of the reasons why people are taking notice of him on social media platforms like TikTok.
The United States is a big market, and many people may not know who he is. Also, people are interested in what he has to say, simply because he is an accomplished speaker and has interesting things to say. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Pattinson is a published author. He wrote the acclaimed bestselling memoir ‘Belknap’, as well as the novel ‘The Good Thief’.
Why Is Twitter Saying He’s Going To Be In A Lot Of Trouble?
Another interesting development around this time last year was that Robert Pattinson allegedly threatened Justin Bieber and his team. According to a lawsuit filed by Bieber’s managers, the singer’s security team was called to Pattinson’s home, where the actor allegedly demanded that they leave or he would “shoot them with a BB gun.” As a result of the threats, the team was forced to move residences and change phone numbers.
It is worth noting that Bieber and Pattinson had previously been involved in a bar fight. In December 2019, a Los Angeles court issued a restraining order that banned Bieber from ‘punching, kicking or hitting’ anyone.
The Rise of the ‘Roast’ – A Modern History
The trend of celebrities “roasting’” other famous people on social media platforms started to emerge around 2015, and it continues to this day. However, it wasn’t until the following year that the concept really took off. In January 2016, comedian and Roast master Patrice Laffont uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, in which he roasted Michael Keaton, Michael J. Fox, and Billy Crystal. Since then, other famous comics, such as Jim Carrey, have followed suit, posting their own comedic roasts of A‐list celebrities.
In the two years since it launched, the ‘roast’ has become a popular concept on TikTok, particularly with comedians. In fact, the platform now houses one of the largest collections of comedic roasts in the world. When it comes to comedic roasts on TikTok, the audience is often very much in the know. When a comedian roasts another celebrity on TikTok, the majority of their followers will often join in, adding their two cents’ worth to the conversation. Even though they may not know who the person is being roasted, they will often laugh along, knowing exactly what is going on.
Actors, Models, And More…
Whether it is film, television, or theatre, celebrities often find themselves working alongside other famous people, which can bring its own brand of fame and fortune. In 2020 alone, these alliances were seen in the form of Tom Hanks’ acting debut in the Woody Allen film ‘Operation Yacht’, alongside Keaton, and Sylvester Stallone’s performance in the Che Guevara biopic ‘Operation Condor’. There are also famous theatre couples, such as Jussie Smollett and Taye Diggs, who have been married since 2006 and had their first child in 2019.
“With social media, everyone is a publisher, it’s open for anyone to say anything about anyone at any time. That is a double‐edged sword,” said film critic Scott Mendelson. “This is a great platform for exposing celebrities, or anyone, for that matter, to be hypocritical or wrong. It’s also great for creators who can use it to gain exposure or to support a cause.”
