In the world of cinema, actors often undergo remarkable physical transformations to authentically portray their characters. Reflecting on this journey, we revisit Robert Pattinson's rigorous preparation for his role in the critically acclaimed The Batman, released two years ago. Pattinson, known for his chameleon-like ability to adapt to various roles, took his physicality to new heights for this iconic part.
Pattinson, in a nostalgic conversation with On Demand Entertainment, humorously recounted his strict diet regime. "I never want to see a piece of white, boiled fish with just lemon on it", he quipped, illustrating the monotonous and restrictive diet he endured. This diet, devoid of indulgences like pizza, was a testament to his commitment to embodying the caped crusader.
His fitness journey was equally demanding. Pattinson described the initial struggle and eventual satisfaction in his workout routine. "Training’s a lot more fun when you kind of get good at it. Once you pass over the kind of six-week mark, then it’s all right… Then you feel bad if you’re not doing it," he reflected. His dedication to maintaining peak physical condition was crucial for the role, even if it meant giving up on training post-filming.
