In a recent interview with GQ, Robert Pattinson has demonstrated his culinary skills.
Or lack thereof, since the Twilight star nearly set his home on fire.
Microwaving Pasta?
Pattison decided to prepare pasta in the microwave after sharing an idea to his friend and restaurant owner Lele Massimini about a pasta dish that you can eat in your hands.
“Pasta really had the same kind of fast-food credentials as burgers and pizzas?
I was trying to figure out how to capitalize in this area of the market, and I was trying to think: How do you make a pasta which you can hold in your hand?,” Robert told the interviewer.
Though he didn’t get a positive response from him, Robert wasn’t discouraged. That’s why he decided to try it out during the interview.
After assembling some sugar on foil and layering with cheese and cornflakes (instead of breadcrumbs), he topped it off with the sauce.
However, when it was time to take out the noodles, the actor burned his hand on the bowl. But that was only one of his mishaps.
After some time, there was a lightning bolt that went off behind him that caused him to quickly duck – before the oven/microwave made one final bang and went dark.
“Yeah, I think I have to leave that alone,” he says, defeated.
If you ever doubted your cooking skills then you should remember this.
The Batman Preparations
However, this interview wasn’t a complete fail. Among other things, Pattinson shared how he is be preparing for his Batman role.
“I’m essentially on a meal plan for Batman,” The Lighthouse star said. “Thank God. I don’t know what I’d be doing other than that. But I mean, yeah, other than—I can survive.
I’ll have oatmeal with, like, vanilla protein powder on it. And I will barely even mix it up. It’s extraordinarily easy.
Like, I eat out of cans and stuff. I’ll literally put Tabasco inside a tuna can and just eat it out of the can.”
The 34-year-old actor also addressed one issue in Hollywood.
“I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem,” he said, addmiting that he hasn’t been following his trainer’s regimen.
“You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the ’70s. Even James Dean—he wasn’t exactly ripped.”
