As a die-hard fan who’s followed Robert Pattinson‘s career since his early days as Cedric Diggory, it’s been a rollercoaster ride watching him evolve from the boy wizard’s friend to the brooding vampire Edward Cullen and now, the Dark Knight himself. His latest encounter with an immigration officer who mistook him for a former Twilight star is a testament to his enduring charm and the fact that he can never truly escape his past.
Despite being recognized as one of today’s most distinguished and accomplished actors in the film industry, there are still some enthusiasts who primarily associate Robert Pattinson with his leading role in the blockbuster young adult vampire films from the Twilight series. However, even though Pattinson has maintained a consistent acting career since he first started out, including notable works such as Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse, some fans appear to have overlooked his entire body of work altogether.
During an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine, Pattinson shared a humorous incident that took place while traveling with his fiancée Suki Waterhouse. Specifically, he said that an immigration officer at the airport, who recognized him from his Twilight films, inquired as to why he had stopped acting altogether. This question left the actor surprised, given that he had just gained significant attention following his portrayal of Batman.
The bewildered actor attempted to inform the border agent that he was the caped vigilante, but it seemed she merely chuckled, likely finding his claim hard to believe. As for those who appreciated his earlier, shimmering roles, Robert Pattinson remains trapped in the hue of the late 2000s. Yet, this experienced performer was already a part of an even larger saga prior to his time as a vampire, with his emotionally moving portrayal of Cedric Digory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Over the course of filming for these two contrasting series, it appears that he has grown considerably, making Twilight enthusiasts grow even more enamored with the melancholic Edward than the competitive Cedric.
“‘Hey, you’re the guy from ‘Twilight.’ Why’d you stop acting?’ Pattinson wasn’t sure how to respond. ‘I was like …, “I’m Batman?” he says. ‘She just laughed.'” – The New York Times Sttyle Magazine
Fans Will Have to Wait Longer For Pattinson’s Next Project
Robert Pattinson’s acting career continues to thrive with no signs of slowing down, but his upcoming film role in the sci-fi satire “Mickey 17,” originally slated for a January 31 release, has been postponed. The movie, directed by the creator of “Parasite,” was initially planned for an April debut, but was moved back to avoid clashing with an upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. However, that film’s release date was later changed to later in the year, which means “Mickey 17” will now be released on its original date of April 18, 2025.
Despite fans having to wait over two months longer than anticipated for the movie’s premiere, there’s no question that excitement for its one-of-a-kind plot will persist. Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that Robert Pattinson isn’t slowing down, as he’s set to collaborate once more with director Christopher Nolan on an upcoming project. With “The Batman II” slated for 2026 and a newborn to tend to, the charismatic British actor has quite a busy schedule ahead of him.
