Pattinson has been candid about his disdain for Hollywood diet culture. Back in 2020, he caught backlash when he admitted that he wasn’t doing rigorous training for his Batman role, confessing, “Literally, I’m just barely doing anything” in an interview with GQ.
“I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem,” Pattinson added. Later, in a January 2023 interview, he somewhat walked back his statements and admitted that he was working out for the role — he just didn’t like to talk about it.
“I got in so much trouble for saying that I don’t work out, even from my trainer, who was like, ‘Why would you say that?” Pattinson told the Standard.
