Robert Pattinson on His Life With His Girlfriend Suki Waterhouse and Her Reaction to Seeing The Batman
Robert Pattinson is very much on his press tour for The Batman, and the actor has shared a little about his private relationship with his girlfriend of over three years, Suki
Waterhouse. To GQ last week, he spoke about Waterhouse's impact on his decision making. To Jimmy Kimmel last night, he discussed how her reaction to The Batman changed his own perspective on the film.
With GQ, Pattinson discussed why Waterhouse was the reason he changed the location for their interview from the London Zoo to Holland Park. “I was talking to my girlfriend last night and she was, like, ‘You know, people don’t really like zoos.…’” he said. “I’d been thinking about a metaphorical thing. But then I was thinking that’s very wrong, a sad bear walking in circles. I just can’t help it. I’ll do it for every single element, every decision, in my life. What is the worst-case scenario for this decision?”
He also touched on how she interacted with a repairman over to fix their apartment's boiler—and trolled Pattinson a bit given his Batman role. “The guy came around the other day, and he just randomly started talking about what a DC [Comics] fan he is. And I’m sitting there facing the other direction, and my girlfriend just keeps continuing the conversation with him. And I’m looking at her like: Shut the fuck up!” He laughed. “Why are you doing this to me? She was very entertaining. Just talking to an obsessive fan.”
On Kimmel, Pattinson spoke about how Waterhouse reacted watching the film and why it made him more “terrified” about its release.
“It was really her reaction that kind of changed the entire thing because I'm pretty sure she's not normally into watching superhero movies,” Pattinson said, via Entertainment Tonight. “And just seeing that it was capturing her attention the entire time and then she held my hand and touched it [to her face] and I could feel a little tear. And I was like, ‘No way!’”
“And then after the movie was she just all over you? Super sexed up from Batman?” Kimmel joked.
“I mean, yeah!” Pattinson quipped back, laughing.
