14 DAY TRIAL // One of the many reasons Robert Pattinson is so incredibly popular is his honesty when it comes to speaking about life in Hollywood. Though he’s one of the biggest stars of the day and makes millions of dollars for a single role, Robert is the first to admit that, deep down, he’s just like us.
Only richer, of course, but that goes without saying.
The former “Twilight” star is featured in the latest issue of Australia’s Sunday Style magazine (quotes via Gossip Cop). The interview also includes a few good quotes on staying in shape and dealing with personal insecurities.
Robert has a lot of them, apparently.
“I get a ton of anxiety, right up until the second I get out of the car to the event, when suddenly it completely dissipates. But up until that moment I’m a nut case,” he tells the publication.
Much of that anxiety stems from his awareness that he’s completely unlike any other Hollywood star, starting from the way he looks and his obstinate refusal to join a gym to have actual muscle definition.
“Body dysmorphia, overall tremendous anxiety. I suppose it’s because of these tremendous insecurities that I never found a way to become egotistical. I don’t have a sixpack and I hate going to the gym. I’ve been like that my whole life. I never want to take my shirt off. I’d prefer to get drunk,” Robert says.
Because he doesn’t want to take his shirt off, Robert’s time at the gym is limited only to those months he’s preparing for a more physically challenging role. He’s said before he has no intention of working out unless he’s contractually bound to do so.
In the same interview, though he talks of anxiety and freaking out, Robert insists he’s not really ever bothered by anything, because he has long learned how to tune negativity out.
“There’s not very much that really bothers me. I don’t ever feel the need to forgive or expect people to be. I judge people on their actions. I don’t really care if it’s wrong or right, I give them the benefit of the doubt. If they do something I can’t be bothered to deal with, I just cut them out,” he says.
