Robert Pattinson Talks About Male Beauty Standards in Hollywood

Robert Pattinson was once named the hottest man in the industry back in 2020 by a scientific calculation. However, in an interview that was just published, he stated, “Yeah, it’s crazy, And it’s very, very easy to fall into that pattern as well, even if you’re just watching your calorie intake. It’s extraordinarily addictive, and you don’t quite realize how insidious it is until it’s too late.”

This isn’t the first time Pattinson opened up about changing himself for roles. Back in 2020 he stated, “I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem, You set a precedent.” At the time he was preparing for his part as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. He has since added that he was joking at the time and he got in “so much trouble for saying that I don’t work out, even from my trainer, who was like, ‘Why would you say that?’”

However, he also added that, “I have basically tried every fad you can think of, everything except consistency. I once ate nothing but potatoes for two weeks, as a detox. Just boiled potatoes and Himalayan pink salt. Apparently, it’s a cleanse … you definitely lose weight. And I tried to do keto once. I was like, ‘Oh, there’s a diet where you just eat charcuterie boards and cheese all the time?’ But I didn’t realize that you can’t have beer as it completely defeats the purpose.”
