Robert Pattinson sits down with Jennifer Lopez to talk their careers
Rob sat down with Jennifer Lopez to talk about Hustlers, The Lighthouse and Batman amongst other things. Watch the video below.
Here’s also some transcript but you can read more at Variety:
Lopez: So “The Lighthouse” — incredible performance and a transformation for you. When you read the script, what was it about it that made you think, “Yeah, this is the next one I’m going to do” — because it’s risky?
Pattinson:I mean probably the same thing that appealed to you about “Hustlers.” You’re thinking, “Oh, I can be a stripper.” I’m like, “Get to have sex with a mermaid, and constantly naked. I have a cool mustache.” I love finding something where I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I don’t approach parts if there’s something relatable. If I was going after parts which seem somehow relatable to my real self, I would be consistently playing chronically insecure losers.
…
Lopez: I think that’s what people don’t understand about actors and their choices. It’s about finding something you haven’t done.
Pattinson: Something I was trying to find for years was to do a ballet movie. And then my agent was like, “Why? Do you know how to ballet?” I’m like, “No.”
Lopez: But why? Why, Bobby, tell us?! Is there something fascinating to you about the world of being a male ballet dancer?
Pattinson: I think there’s a ballerina inside me.
Lopez: Yeah, there’s a ballerina in there. It’s the dance.
Pattinson: I really wanted to do it.
