Robert Pattinson talks about ‘unreal body standards’ for men in film

Robert Pattinson did a superhero movie last year. The Twilight’s actor has briefly explained how unreal body standards have made men feel in Hollywood. He shared that he went through multiple diet schedules and exercises to lose weight to look a ‘certain’ way.

In an exclusive interview with ES Magazine he got intimate about how following multiple diets took a toll on his mental health. He said, “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.”

He further added, “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.”

On work front, he will be seen in Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi film Mickey 17 which will be released in March 2024.
