Robert Pattinson Shares What Makes Him Choose A Film Project

Robert Pattinson has shared the “number one thing” that helps him choose whether a project is right for him and his career.

When asked by HuffPost UK what he looks out for in a script that’s important to him, the 39-year-old said: “If, when you’re reading, you want to read it out loud immediately, that’s always the number one thing.”

Robert was speaking at the official launch of beer brand 1664’s new Good Taste platform at London’s Town Hall Spaces in King’s Cross as its first global brand ambassador.

Robert, who was wearing Dior for the occasion, added: “If there’s one line where I’ll want to say it to people around me… no one has any idea why it’s interesting, it’s totally out of context, but I want to just keep repeating this one line, like ‘Look at that, look at that!’”

Another big thing he looks out for? “Something which feels a little bit dangerous and [could] cause a bit of a frisson.”

That immediately brings to mind Robert’s latest film, The Drama, in which he co-stars with Zendaya.

They play two people in a relationship that starts to buckle in the run-up to their wedding under the weight of a very perturbing revelation concerning the bride-to-be’s past.

That sounds pretty frisson-esque to us… but we’ll have to wait until the film’s April 3 UK release date to find out more.
