Robert Pattinson says he does not have a penchant for taking up the parts of a hero or a good guy and he believes the superhero character Batman is also not one of them.<\/p>\n
In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, Pattinson said it is his belief that an actor takes up a good guy role only if he is “ashamed” of his real life.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always thought that the only reason you’d want to play a good guy all the time is because you’re desperately ashamed of what you’re doing in real life, whereas if you’re a pretty normal person, the most fun part of doing movies is that you can explore the more grotesque or naughty sides of your psyche in a somewhat safe environment.<\/p>\n
“And it’s always more fun if you’re shocking the people in the room. If you end up being boring, that’s the lowest of the low,” the actor said.<\/p>\n
Pattinson, who is set to portray the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves-directed “The Batman”, said the character also avoids the good guy zone.<\/p>\n
“Batman’s not a hero, though. He’s a complicated character. I don’t think I could ever play a real hero. There’s always got to be something a little bit wrong. I think it’s because one of my eyes is smaller than the other one…,” the actor said.<\/p>\n
“It’s a dope character. His morality is a little bit off. He’s not the golden boy, unlike almost every other comic-book character. There is a simplicity to his worldview, but where it sits is strange, which allows you to have more scope with the character,” he added.<\/p>\n
Pattinson had previously said that he expected a backlash over his casting as Batman and now he is happy about not receiving “death threats” for the role.<\/p>\n
“I’m just used to abuse by now. At least I didn’t get death threats this time. That’s a plus! It’s funny that people are so very angry about ‘Twilight’. I never particularly understood it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
