Robert Pattinson has finally unveiled the story behind his reign over cinema this year, especially signing Chris Nolan's The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve's Dune Three one after the other.
The 40-year-old actor spilled the beans, but the story does not include any tactics or strategy, but rather, sheer talent.
During a new interview, the Twilight star said, "It’s just always different. I mean, with Chris [Nolan], he basically said, 'I’m doing The Odyssey.' And I’m like, 'Okay, cool. I want to do it.' And then Denis [Villeneuve] was like, 'Do you want to do Dune?' And I went, 'Yeah.'"
Appreciating his laidback approach to a generational cinematic run, fans wrote, "robert pattinson is just that magical."
One penned, "When you’re that talented / that’s how easy it seems. But look at the body of work that got him in this place to be able to have these fantastic roles land in his lap. And look at his absurd execution. He is my GOAT."
A third chimed in, "He was brilliant in The Odyssey, and I can’t wait to see him in Dune: Part Three."
While more quipped, "I think that's how he landed roles in Twilight saga too..." and "Oh look at me im Robert Pattinson, making movies with Nolan and Villeneuve is no big deal."
Someone added, "getting asked by nolan and villeneuve like this is actually insane."
