Robert Pattinson Reports Difficulty Playing Normal Roles in Upcoming Film

Robert Pattinson has expressed that transitioning from playing eccentric or 'freak' characters to portraying more conventional, 'normal' roles has been challenging for him. In promoting his upcoming film Die My Love, where he plays a more stable character named Jackson, Pattinson discussed his difficulty in adapting to these standard personas after a career of intense, dark roles such as in The Batman and Mickey 17. He highlighted the contrast in his acting experience, particularly noting his struggle to improvise natural actions like dancing on cue, which his co-stars find effortless. Die My Love, co-starring Jennifer Lawrence and directed by Lynne Ramsay, focuses on a couple coping with postpartum psychosis and the resulting emotional turmoil. The film premiered at Cannes earlier this year and is set for release on November 7, 2025. This role marks a notable shift for Pattinson, who has been known for his complex and brooding characters.
