'It’s very, very easy to fall into that pattern as well, even if you’re just watching your calorie intake, it’s extraordinarily addictive'

Pattinson opened up about his struggle to achieve an unrealistic body image. “It’s crazy,” he said, reflecting on how actors are expected to train intensely for roles, “And it’s very, very easy to fall into that pattern as well, even if you’re just watching your calorie intake, it’s extraordinarily addictive—and you don’t quite realise how insidious it is until it’s too late.”

During the interview, Pattinson also reflected on comments he's made in the past about resisting the temptation to workout for a role. Last year, he told“I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem," he said."You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the ‘70s. Even James Dean—he wasn’t exactly ripped.” Now, Pattinson admits his statement wasn’t entirely true.

Pattinson clarified that he felt uncomfortable talking about his fitness regime back then, saying that it’s “quite embarrassing when you get into a pattern of answering questions about your workout because there’ll always be a guy who’s in better shape than you.” In reality, the actor admits he’s “basically tried every fad you can think of.”

“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,” he said. “And I tried to do keto once. I was like, 'Oh there’s a diet where you just eat charcuterie boards and cheese all the time?' But I didn’t realise that you can’t have beer as it completely defeats the purpose."
