I’ve played parts that are reactive, passive: Robert Pattinson

Actor Robert Pattinson, best known for his role of Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, didn’t know anything about his role when he joined the 2017 film, Good Time, and became a part of the project because of directors Ben Safdie and Josh Safdie.

“There was no role when I first signed up for it, no script or anything. I just really liked the trailer to the directors’ previous film (Heaven Knows What),” Pattinson says.

“I’ve played a lot of parts that are quite reactive, and quite passive. I just wanted to play a part which was really on the front foot, and also didn’t have any shame, or any fear. I think it’s just my own insecurities. I want to find someone who doesn’t have them, and be like, okay, if I just hold onto the train, the train will go through the wall, and everything will be fine,” he adds.
