Why Robert Pattinson narrates fictitious childhood stories? Actor reveals

Robert Pattinson
  • Robert Pattinson shared a fabricated story about his childhood.
  • He confessed to feeling like he was “possessed.”
  • Pattinson has frequently told fictional stories over the years.

Robert Pattinson, known for his role in Twilight, has once again shared a bizarre, fabricated story about his childhood.

Reflecting on an old 2011 interview, the actor confessed to feeling like he was “possessed” while recounting a made-up tale about witnessing a clown die in a car explosion as a child.

As The New York Times noted, “There was absolutely no hesitation at all [in his voice]” when he admitted the story, revealing a mix of pride and fear. He added, “I’m like, ‘What on earth? Are you possessed?'”

Pattinson, now 38, has frequently told fictional stories over the years. He once claimed to have shaken off a stalker by taking her out for dinner and boring her with his personal problems.

He also mentioned a deleted Twilight scene that allegedly depicted intense interest and pleasure—another story that turned out to be untrue. Furthermore, Pattinson fabricated a tale about working as a women’s hand model.

When asked why he shares such falsehoods, Pattinson explained, “The only thing people would ever ask me about was being famous. You go into, like a fugue state.”

On the professional front, the actor is set to star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming project, continuing his career with another major role.

Billie Eilish has shared her mixed feelings about social media, revealing that she is not particularly proud of her extensive use of it.

The Grammy and Oscar-winning artist, who has previously spoken candidly about her complex relationship with her online presence, discussed her current stance on social media during a recent interview with Complex.

Eilish admitted to stepping away from social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, a couple of months ago. “Yeah, I’m off that shit,” she said, describing the break as “awesome.” However, her efforts to stay off social media have been challenged by her ongoing world tour in support of her latest album, Hit Me Hard and Soft.

While on tour, Eilish expressed her love for interacting with fans and staying updated on their reactions to her shows. “I love seeing all the videos and all the angles. I love seeing how people are feeling and thinking about the show,” she explained. “If I think something looks different, I want to change it.” However, this often leads her to get “sucked in” and feel “all f**ked up.”

Eilish likened her social media habit to a vice, saying, “It’s my cigarettes. It’s really a problem.” Despite the challenges, she continues to appreciate the positives, like Instagram Q&A sessions, though she acknowledges the downside: “Some people ruin it for the rest of them.”

A post shared by Anu Ranjan (@anuranjan1010)

Earlier, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made headlines for her inspiring speech at the Global Women’s Forum in Dubai, where she spoke about women’s empowerment.

However, it was the omission of her surname “Bachchan” in the event’s official Instagram post that sparked a wave of speculation. The post displayed her name as “Aishwarya Rai, International Star,” leading some to believe she may have dropped her husband’s surname.

News18 later clarified that Aishwarya’s verified Instagram account still lists her as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, confirming that her full name remains unchanged. Some speculated that the omission was a professional choice to emphasize her individual identity rather than a personal decision.

The buzz around her name comes amid ongoing rumors about her relationship with Abhishek, further fueled by her posting photos from their daughter Aaradhya’s 13th birthday, which notably did not include Abhishek.
