Robert Pattinson Trolls Team Jacob With Hilarious Twilight Joke
Robert Pattinson poked fun at one of pop culture’s biggest love triangles while promoting his latest film Odyssey.
At the London premiere of Christopher Nolan’s epic, the actor jokingly compared his new character to Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black Twilight Saga.
When asked what it was like playing someone the audience didn’t have to root for, Pattinson replied, “It’s kind of like Jacob in Twilight.”
In the Twilight saga, Pattinson played vampire Edward Cullen, Bella Swan’s love interest, and Lautner played werewolf Jacob Black, Bella’s childhood friend and romantic rival.
Moreover, Pattinson also joked that Odyssey has a similar romantic dilemma. In Nolan’s film, the actor plays Antinous, one of the arrogant suitors vying for Queen Penelope’s affections while her husband Odysseus goes missing after the Trojan War.
“What is The Odyssey about? Penelope just can’t decide between two guys, and I’m just trying to help her make a decision… Everything seems to be fine. He’s dead, deal with it,” the actor said MTV UK.
In addition to Robert Pattinson, the film also stars Zendaya, Tom Holland, Matt Damon and others.
