tbh I see that type of thing sometimes and either unfollow or laugh at, for example, a racist british guy complaining about foreign meals smelling bad when he's made beans on toast with a single boiled vegetable on the side
the people acting like lex was the worst person for not attempting to learn cooking skills was a weird dogpile and I always assumed half the people were putting him on. his thoughts on cooking were as obtuse and brash as his other opinions and it seemed like an easy thing to pretend there's an objective right way to eat, compared to the complexity of takes on music

being an adult who can't cook whatsoever is quite clownable. makes more sense in pattinson's case - rich kid who became a star young, has never had to prepare his own food

there was a new place around here that was trying to set itself up as the chipotle of italian food so they advertised pasta burritos, just a pile of pasta inside a thin flatbread wrap. it was supposed to be their signature thing. i went opening week and ordered one and the server looked at me like i asked to lick the dirt off the floor. a month later they rebranded as "healthy" italian fast casual with like zoodles and kale salad and shit

That reminds me of a tabloid thing I saw about RP and Kristen Stewart (back when they were together) about how all their spare time off the Twilight sets was spent having sex and smoking weed.

Last year I went to a place that called itself a 'concept meatball restaurant. It was so earnest that I almost feel bad making fun of it. Basically, you'd pick six kinds of meatballs and six sauces (there were recommended pairings, but they weren't required) and ten minutes later a matronly lady would bring them out to you IN PORCELAIN EGG CARTONS with the meatballs on one side, and the sauces on the other. Some of them had clearly been defrosted in a microwave, and they were molten on the exterior but icy in the middle and that's Robert Pattinson for you.

I was at that High Life screening with him and Claire Denis doing Q&A and the exit was at the back of the theater and she was kind of half saying "oh no please stay seated!" as she hurriedly shuffled out. I was thinking, ma'am, I think you're not the one the younger ladies in the front row want to lunge at

I finally read the whole article, not just the pasta bit, and it is full of gems:
“He’s not mean,” Claire Denis says about Pattinson. “But he’s always trying to escape a little. He doesn’t want you to put your claws too deep in him. Sometimes I forget, and I’ll send him a text with something a little personal. And he will always answer: hahahaha. ‘This is the limit, Claire.’ You know?”
I both respect and hate him for his attitude towards exercise, given the presumably insane amount of money he's getting paid to bulk up:
The film studio hired a trainer who left Pattinson with a Bosu ball, a single weight, and a sincere plea to use both, but right now, he says, he’s ignoring her. “I think if you’re working out all the time, you’re part of the problem,” he says, sighing. By “you” he means other actors. “You set a precedent. No one was doing this in the ’70s. Even James Dean—he wasn’t exactly ripped.” He says that back when he was the star of the Twilight franchise, “the one time they told me to take my shirt off, I think they told me to put it back on again.” But Batman is Batman. Pattinson called another actor on the film, Zoë Kravitz, the other day, and she said she was exercising five days a week during their exile from set. Pattinson, well: “Literally, I’m just barely doing anything,” he says, sighing again.
Also that entire bit where he's trying to talk about "Tenet". And can we talk about those photographs/outfits?! Some of those shots are amazing and makes me think that he's prob not nearly as chaotic as he comes across (I'm also only about 75% sure about this).

I wish I could tell you whether what I’m about to describe here is a bit, or a piece of performance art, or is in fact sincere—even now, I don’t totally know. I think parts of it are real and parts of it can’t be real.
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link
well sure. But he's also very good at figuring out his best angles even while trying to look appropriately disheveled (in much too expensive clothes). And the final photo of his face projected onto toilet paper feels like yet another masterful bit of trolling.
