In a rare revelation, actor Robert Pattinson shared insights into his journey into fatherhood, confessing that he wasn’t initially fond of children before becoming a parent himself.
“I didn’t really have strong feelings about them. I could put up with them,” Pattinson candidly told GQ in an interview released on January 23.
But the “Twilight” heartthrob’s perspective has shifted dramatically since embracing fatherhood, which he now describes as “the most fun thing” he’s experienced.
“I find it absolutely wonderful,” he enthused, reflecting on his newfound role.
Addressing the challenges of being a parent, the 39-year-old “Harry Potter” alum noted that the experience has significantly highlighted the importance of time management in his daily life.
“It’s just that everything is time management, the whole time. I mean, it’s kind of obvious, but you don’t realize it until you do it,” he shared.
“Even if you’re on the other side of the planet, you’re like, ‘Okay, I cannot spend more than 10 days away.’ After 10 days of being away, it’s physical pain. It’s so interesting, your body chemistry changes without you even thinking about it.”
Though the little one is still just a toddler, Pattinson also shared that she’s already “seen so many” of his and Suki‘s projects.
Instead of watching the traditional child programming, the actor highlighted that the tiny tot has tuned into his sci-fi movie, “Mickey-17.”
Though, he joked that he’s “not getting any respect” since his daughter, whose name has not yet been revealed publicly, doesn’t fully understand what she’s seeing on the screen.
Pattinson revealed he and his longterm partner had welcomed their first child together in March 2024 after the pair were seen pushing a baby stroller while out and about in Los Angeles.
The actor hasn’t shared much about his daughter publicly. However, he briefly talked about his fatherhood experience, admitting that he felt “very old” since becoming a dad.
“[Having a baby] makes me feel very old and very young at the same time,” the actor said.
