Robert Pattinson speaks out on that dog joke that went bad on Kimmel https://t.co/fVlfiLs36S pic.twitter.com/OYZ1eoX2Ts— ET Canada (@ETCanada) August 9, 2017
“There was this weird thing that happened in the hotel,” Pattinson told Vulture. “It flooded everyday at 3 p.m., because we went in the rainy season. No one realized it was the rainy season, and somehow all these massive spiders would float into our room. At night there would be like an inch of water in the room, it was kind of terrifying. I made a little hammock on top of my bed just hanging there, in terror.”Gold star for Vulture explaining "ropey". Now can we have video of that? We do have video of other great Rob tales. E! snagged Rob on the red carpet and got him to talk about his squirrel face/hip beard and starving into a skinny jeans.
Meanwhile, Grey started filming the bugs. “There was one that was called a Brazilian wandering spider,” Pattinson said. “James, who is normally very neurotic about anything wildlife related, saw this spider, and it is incredibly beautiful, and he was like, 'We need to get the B camera, get on this, get on this. Somebody get it to move.’ And he was prodding this spider, which is like six-inches wide, with a stick, trying to get it to do something interesting. And the Colombian crew was like, ‘That is the most potent spider in the world.’ There were a lot of situations like that.”
Pattinson said things also got ropey — British for sketchy — while he was filming in the jungle. “There were moments where me and Charlie were going through with machetes and we were in totally virgin jungle humans never went through,” Pattinson said. “And they were like, ‘Yeah, just do a beautiful shot and hack through it with machetes.’ Me and Charlie were just like, ‘Uh, this feels like really ropey to do this.’”
Talent clearly runs in the Pattinson family. Not only is Robert Pattinson enjoying a successful acting career, now his sister, Lizzy, may also have a future in show-business thanks to her amazing singing audition for the U.K. version of Simon Cowell's The X Factor.We'll post the video interview when ET Canada releases it tomorrow. For now, check out Lizzy's audition!
Lizzy, 31, is the Twilight star's older sister, and impressed the judges with her cover of Bonnie Raitt's "Feels Like Home."
"It's amazing," said her brother, on his sister being on the talent show. "I've actually never sung with her. We have really different taste in music so we always get into arguments, but like, her being on that is the most exciting thing to happen to me in such a long time. I'm SO excited about it. She's really good."
Interestingly enough, no mention was made on the show of her famous brother, although Simon did coyly ask if they had met before. Quipped Lizzy, "In your dreams."
Simon's fellow judges liked her retort — and her singing. She received four yes votes and is off to the next round.
Few things in life are as nerve-wracking as auditioning for a movie role. Even for Robert Pattinson, one of the most successful and popular actors in the world, auditioning for a role can be an almost unbearably stressful experience. To get the lead role in The Rover, for instance, Pattinson had to audition in front of director David Michod (Animal Kingdom), and by his own estimation, the audition did not go well.Thanks Clara
"I'm so bad at auditioning, and I was terrified that I wasn't going to get it," Pattinson tells ET Canada exclusively. "I really, really fought for it."
What made Pattinson—an actor with no shortage of scripts coming his way—fight so hard for this particular role? As Pattinson explained, the role of Reynolds (a naive, simple-minded drifter) was simply too good to pass up.
"It's a character that doesn't really have any constraints," he said. "It's not really specified where he's from or what his desires are or even his mental state and I felt really relaxed doing it because you could just do whatever you wanted, basically."
Unlike during his audition, Pattinson was completely at ease playing the character during filming—an experience which the Twilight star says was a first. "It felt for a second that I knew what I was doing because I just sort of fell into acting and I never really felt like that before," he said.
