Pattinson recalled that everyone was like: “‘You didn’t work out at all.’ I worked out every f****** day.”
The Drama star continued, “Even after that, I still look like I didn’t work out. I worked out twice a day at, like, three o’clock in the morning.” He then went on to explain that the criticism began after he said in an interview that “exercise was uncool.” However, he clarified, “I was trying to sound cool!”
