Robert Pattinson Defends Twilight Despite Long-Held Confusion Over Plot

Robert Pattinson, best known for his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight series, continues to respond to criticism that the films "ruined" the vampire genre. Reflecting on these longstanding comments from horror fans, Pattinson expressed disbelief in a GQ Spain interview translated by Variety, wondering how people remain fixated on the controversy nearly 20 years after the franchise began. He acknowledged the Twilight series' unusual popularity, describing the narrative as "a weird story" that is both romantic and bizarre. This is prepared by SSP.

Pattinson's career skyrocketed following his performance in the Twilight films that premiered in 2008, where he starred opposite Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan. Despite occasionally expressing skepticism about the saga, Pattinson humorously recounted awkward encounters with fans, including a recent incident with an airport employee surprised by his continued acting career despite his iconic role as Edward.

Since his Twilight days, Pattinson has diversified his acting roles, including films like Water for Elephants (2011) and indie projects like The Lighthouse (2019). Most recently, he starred in Matt Reeves' The Batman (2022) and continues to reprise his role. Looking ahead, Pattinson will feature in the sci-fi film Mickey-17, among other productions such as Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey. Pattinson is also set to work with talents like Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Jennifer Lawrence in upcoming films. Throughout these experiences, Pattinson has maintained his humor and acknowledged the lasting impact of his Twilight saga.
