Speaking on new film Cosmopolis, Robert Pattinson has said that sex scenes continue to be a big thing for him. he opens up on an experience he had on set in which he was forced to tape a sex scene was wasn’t even written into the script and which caught him complete by surprise:
“It’s always a big thing. Juliette Binoche is one of my favourite actresses and within five minutes of meeting her on this we were pretending to have sex. Which wasn’t in the script. With both sex scenes we were supposed to have finished sex before we did the scene. Both times David was just like, ‘Yeah, just have sex.’ That was a little awkward. I thought that Patricia McKenzie, who I did the other sex scene with, despised me up until that day on the set. We hadn’t said a single word to each other apart from when I asked, ‘Where are you from?’ and she literally looked me up and down. I was like, ‘I’m not trying to do anything – I don’t have any idea!’ Then on day of the sex scene she was like, ‘Hey how’s it going?’ I don’t know what kind of preparation that was for this scene… but it definitely did something.”
Robert cheekily reveals his secret TV love – he’s obsessed with terrible reality shows and can watch them all day long, while he jokes that he knows someone else who is a big fan too:
“In America there is a channel called TruTV which is just reruns of ‘Cops’ and ‘World’s Dumbest Criminals.’ I could watch that the entire day. Someone told me – I don’t know if it’s true – that David Simon watched tonnes of ‘Cops’ to get the dialogue for ‘The Wire.’ I was like, ‘I knew it…’”
