The actor also recalled his experience wearing the batsuit. The shift, he said, was immediate.

Laughing, he described the experience as surreal, even comparing it to “climbing Everest”. Looking even further back, Pattinson discussed Twilight, the franchise that first made him a global name. With a hint of nostalgia, he admitted he envies his younger self, adding that if were offered the same role today, he is not sure he could perform it in the same way.         View this post on Instagram                       In his feature on the series, Pattinson blended personal taste with cinematic memory, offering glimpses into both his craft and personality.
