Robert Pattinson is on a run at the movies.
The actor, who just touched down at the Venice Film Festival, is on a brief break while filming The Batman: Part II during a year that will see consecutive releases of The Drama, The Odyssey, Primetime and Dune: Part Three. During a press conference ahead of the world premiere of A24’s Primetime from Lance Oppenheim, in which he stars as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, the busy actor was asked to take stock of his banner year.
“It’s unusual for me because I knew what my schedule was going to be for the first time in my life for like two years, and so I could wind myself up and pace myself a little bit,” he explained while seated on a panel with Oppenheim and his Primetime castmates Phoebe Bridgers, Merritt Wever, Bokeem Woodbine and Skyler Gisondo.
He then noted that his hectic schedule became easier to manage after becoming a father with partner Suki Waterhouse. “I just had a baby as well, so I kind of had no desire to go out at night. Suddenly I had like twice as much time to do anything, which was very, very helpful,” he said.
Pattinson then said that because he’s been so inspired by his projects, he gets something in return even while he’s giving up all his time. “All of these projects — it’s just such an unbelievable privilege. I would have been devastated to have dropped any of them. I couldn’t even believe if I got one of them, I would have been so, so thrilled,” he said.
