Robert Pattinson confesses playing Connie Nikas was “the total opposite of being an English person”

 

Clarence Moye from AwardsDaily attended Day 7 of SCAD Savannah Film Festival and this is what he had to say about Rob:

Following the costume panel, Robert Pattinson attended a screening of his latest film, the critically acclaimed Good Time. The film marks a significant shift in his acting career, one that critics praised as his greatest performance to date. This was my first experience with the film, and he is indeed fantastic in it. Will Oscar voters take notice? Best Actor this year isn’t as strong as in previous years, so there’s room. For that to happen, critics will have to come through for the film in a major way, bringing it to the attention of Academy voters.

Pattinson’s short Q&A was incredibly well received. He described the joy of playing a character with such an incredible New York energy and a vastly skewed moral compass.

“It’s the total opposite of being an English person,” Pattinson confessed.

One of my favorite on-set anecdotes he shared involved a mall chase sequence with New York cops. To achieve authenticity, real cops were hired for the scene without telling mall visitors a film was being shot. As Pattinson dashed through the crowd, mall patrons attempted to block the in-pursuit police. Some patrons were actually arrested, making the film shoot an actual crime scene. You could tell Pattinson found that incredibly amusing.
