In
his recent interview with CBS “Sunday Monday” Robert Pattinson talks about his movies
in the years since his blockbuster Twilight franchise ended.
The
actor became a household name playing handsome vampire Edward Cullen in the
popular Twilight series, but he’s opted for mostly independent projects in
recent years. Pattinson’s latest film, the gritty bank robbery drama Good Time in which he stars as a
low-life New York criminal, is another example of the actor’s transformations.
“I
think so much of life, people are trying to put you in a box and define you all
the time,” Pattinson says in his CBS interview, which airs this Sunday. “And
it’s just exciting to have a job where you can consistently break the walls of
the box around you.” He adds, “It’s not like, ‘Oh, I’ll come down from an ivory
tower to be…’ I mean, these roles are hard for me to get. It’s not like I’m Leo
[DiCaprio] or something.”
Pattinson
goes on to note his fame is helpful in “getting financing” for small films,
which he says are often hard to get funded because “the movies I do are weird
and they don’t make a lot of money, a lot of the time.” The actor further
expresses gratitude for the opportunity to make films he’s passionate about
because show business can be very fickle. “I always think that, like, at some
point Karma is like, ‘Oh, that’s all your luck run out.’ And now it’s, ‘so a
whole bunch of bad stuff’s gonna happen,’” he says.
Also
during the interview, Pattinson discusses his childhood, early acting career,
the tabloids, personal relationships and more.
