In a recent interview at the London premiere of his latest film Mickey 17, Robert Pattinson shared how becoming a father has brought new joy and fulfillment into his life. The 38-year-old actor and his partner, Suki Waterhouse, welcomed their first child last March. Contrary to expectations, Pattinson explained that instead of becoming more risk-averse after becoming a father, he has found life to be more joyful.
Pattinson, who gained widespread recognition for his roles in Twilight and The Batman, is now starring in Mickey 17, a sci-fi film by renowned director Bong Joon Ho. Despite his iconic role as Edward Cullen in Twilight, Pattinson has embraced the variety in his career, acknowledging that while fans still remember his vampire character fondly, he has diversified his roles over the years.
The premiere of Mickey 17 also saw fans expressing their admiration for the actor, with many shouting his nickname “R-Patz” from the crowd. Though Pattinson has previously voiced his dislike for the nickname, he seems to have warmed to it over time, stating, “The older you get, you can call me whatever you want.”
Directed by Bong Joon Ho, Mickey 17 delves into profound themes of life, mortality, and memory. Pattinson plays a character involved in a perilous mission to colonize an ice world, where he is repeatedly cloned after each death.
With its release set for March 7, 2025, Mickey 17 has generated considerable buzz, and fans are excited to see Pattinson take on another compelling role in his ever-evolving career.
