No matter how odd the scenario is, like playing multiple copies of himself in <em>Mickey 17<\/em> or navigating chaos as the tortured protector of Gotham City, each role continues to make the British actor a standout. Despite being able to pull off weird roles, it doesn\u2019t mean the talented actor wouldn\u2019t like to set those roles aside for a bit and just play a normal guy. While talking to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPUEzjekUqq?img_index=3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Icon (which shared quotes to Instagram);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Icon (which shared quotes to Instagram)<\/a>, Pattinson how he&#8217;d feel about playing an average Joe:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At one point, I really wanted to play some normal guys. And it\u2019s actually kind of difficult to play a normal person when you\u2019re used to playing freaks and stuff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I can understand how challenging it must be to continuously play weird characters. Even if an actor has the talent to portray them flawlessly, as Pattinson does, I&#8217;d imagine a star wouldn&#8217;t want those roles to define their career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While there\u2019s no denying that Robert Pattinson has his share of bizarre roles, he\u2019s got a whole bunch of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/news\/2471901\/7-robert-pattinson-movies-that-prove-hes-more-than-twilight\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:movies that have proven he\u2019s more than Twilight;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">movies that have proven he\u2019s more than <em>Twilight<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em>The bankable actor played a NYC college student grappling with trauma in <em>Remember Me,<\/em> a small-time criminal in <em>Good Time, <\/em>and a veterinarian who joins a circus troupe in <em>Water for Elephants,<\/em> to name a few. None of these parts delved into the fantasy genre or were about kicking ass in a cape. All of those characters were simply relatable figures that called for somewhat more grounded performances from Pattinson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/batman-part-ii-know-matt-230420175.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Batman: Part II is entering production;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><em>The Batman: Part II<\/em> is entering production<\/a> in the spring, so Pattinson will don the cape and cowl again. However, his next role may see him playing a normal guy. In the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/upcoming-book-screen-adaptations-read-140405103.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:upcoming book-to-screen adaptation;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">upcoming book-to-screen adaptation<\/a> <em>Die, My Love,<\/em> Pattinson portrays a new father who\u2019s forced to deal with his wife developing psychosis as a result of postpartum depression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it&#8217;s known that Pattinson will partake in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/insides-trousers-were-wet-story-153748167.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:freestyle dance scene with Jennifer Lawrence;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">freestyle dance scene with Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> in his latest film, the trailer showed the <em>Tenet<\/em> actor&#8217;s character displaying intense behavior due to his wife\u2019s erraticism. So, even if Pattinson isn\u2019t playing a grandiose role, he could still be channeling all kinds of strangeness with his latest character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s enjoyable watching Robert Pattinson play quirky characters, but it would be refreshing to see him play somewhat more normal people down the road. But until then, we can still look forward to <em>The Lighthouse<\/em> actor\u2019s fearless dive into the eccentric, which reminds us why he\u2019s one of the most skillful performers working today.
