5 Times Robert Pattinson Brutally Roasted Twilight and Got Away with It, Ranked
No one hates Twilight more than the actor that the franchise made famous. You want proof? Here you go.
Let's dive into the nostalgia, shall we? Here are five times Robert Pattinson didn't hold his tongue when it came to Twilight.
5. When He Took His Dignity Back
Robert Pattinson never hid his dislike for the saga one bit. When he was promoting the last movie, someone from Vanity Fair asked him if he took any mementos from the set to remember his Twilight experience by.
After pondering for a few seconds, the actor just went, "My dignity." Wow and ouch. This honest revelation deserves fifth place!
4. When He Called Out a Plot Hole
Chris Van Vliet once suggested that some things in Twilight simply didn't make any sense.
Not only did Robert not correct him, but he also gave examples. He was confused as to why the Cullens (who were like a hundred) were attending high school "up until the last year."
This is a valid concern! The Cullen family is pretty old, don't they have better things to do? They could at least go to university and study different majors…
3. When He Confirmed His Hater Status
Moviefone asked the Twilight stars if they would be fans of the franchise if they weren't in the movies. While Kristen and Taylor chose to stay respectful, Robert saw the interview as an opportunity to speak his truth.
He didn't hesitate when he said that he would "mindlessly hate" Twilight even if he never saw the movies. How he didn't get fired all those years is beyond us!
2. When He Couldn't Care Less about the Ending
After the final movie came out. Pattinson went on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and poured his heart out.
At one point, Jimmy talked about how "millions of Twilight fans" were heartbroken over the fact that the franchise was ending, saying "It's a little bittersweet, isn't it?"
As you might've guessed, Robert didn't share the sentiment, so he just laughed and replied, "For them!"

1. When He Called Stephenie Meyer "Mad"
In an interview with E!, Robert Pattinson made his feelings about the Twilight books clearer than ever before.
He admitted that he was "uncomfortable" reading them because he was under the impression that "Stephenie was convinced she was Bella" and that the book was basically "her sexual fantasy."
He recalled thinking that Meyer was "completely mad" and "in love with her own fictional creation." Still, pretty brutal words, Robert!
Pattinson's hatred for the franchise is truly undying, and it may even be the reason why the saga is all the more appealing to the fans after all these years.
