It goes without saying that Robert Pattinson has had quite the successful career. The 33-year-old has been in numerous films – aside from the Twilight franchise – from playing Cedric in 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to starring in movies such as the 2010 romantic drama Remember Me to more recent, well-acclaimed roles in films like the 2017 crime-thriller Good Time and the 2018 sci-fi mystery High Life.
And now, Pattinson is preparing to take on the role that just may get people to stop referring to him as the ‘guy who plays that vampire from the Twilight movies,’ as the iconic titular superhero in Matt Reeves’ highly-anticipated upcoming 2021 reboot, The Batman. Of course, Pattinson’s road to success hasn’t always been easy, the British actor has had to face many challenges along the way with both his career and his personal life.
