Although it’s hard to believe, it’s already been over a decade since Robert Pattinson burst onto our screens with his appearance in the 2008 fantasy film Twilight.
From the abomination that was the nickname ‘RPattz’ to Team Edward T-Shirts, it was an… interesting time.
And now, 12 years later, it seems Robert Pattinson is all anyone can talk about.
The English actor is currently preparing to appear in Matt Reeves’ upcoming stand-alone film The Batman as Bruce Wayne himself.
And although the film won’t arrive in cinemas until 2021, fans are already labelling Pattinson the “perfect” Batman.

Late last year, Pattinson returned to the spotlight when he appeared alongside Timothée Chalamet in Netflix’s The King – a historical drama based on several plays from Shakespeare’s “Henriad”, including Henry IV and Henry V.
In the film, RPattz (I’m sorry) played the heir to the French throne – the Dauphin of France – who waged war against English monarch Henry V (Timothée Chalamet).
But although fans loved Pattinson’s supporting role in the movie (and his glorious wig), they couldn’t stop talking about his ridiculous choice of accent.

If ever I'm famous, I'm gonna do the RPattz patter in interviews.
Not looking incredibly likely at this stage, but you know, stretch goals.
So, interview ready. Tick. Now, I've just gotta work on the talent, being interesting, photogenetics and inclination.
I thought that was hilarious! These stars must do interview after interview where they're asked the same questions over and over, I'd be tempted to make shit up too!
One of the things I really like about the First We Feast series 'Hot Ones' is that they really put the research in and come up with questions that are as interesting to the interviewee as their audience: the fact that they're also eating progressively hotter chicken wings may also have something to do with it as well.
