Robert Pattinson Chats Mickey 17 & Women With ELLE Man
Robert Pattinson is featured in a new article for ELLE Man. The actor caught up with the outlet after wrapping the shoot for the latest Dior Homme campaign. Highlights from his interview are below.
On working with director, Bong Joon Ho on Mickey 17: “He told me before we started shooting: ‘It’s not science sci-fi—it’s sniff-your-armpit sci-fi.’ When you compare Bong’s Average Joe to a Hollywood Average Joe—the Hollywood Average Joe invariably realizes that they’re actually special. Bong’s Average Joes remain average, and maybe even get a little bit lower than Average Joe by the end of it. With Mickey—it’s like when Arthur pulls the sword out of the stone and everyone’s like, ‘Oh my God, you’re the chosen one.’ And he’s like, ‘Fuck, no, no,’ and then eventually puts the sword back in. Like, he’s so much happier once he’s put the sword back in stone.”
On advice he received on women: “Don’t try to win an argument. It is not going to happen. If someone says, ‘We need to sit down and talk about this,’ they’re not asking for you to talk. You just have to sit there and listen.”
