- This is why this keeps happening.
103
- Okay, but here's the thing.
104
- 'Cause my side is also that side.
105
- Is it that?
106
- I didn't realize until I was doing stuff with you.
107
- Well, that's why I always put this bang on this side.
108
Oh, it's just my hair.
109
This is so stupid.
110
Sometimes for pictures this side, but then I think on film, I like this side.
111
Interesting.
112
Do you think about it when you're playing a character, you're like, "Hold on a second, I think she'd be looking this way." But not in like a vain way, I just, I don't know.
113
I think it like, I don't know, the side sometimes gives more emotion or something.
114
I don't know.

Do you think when you take a selfie it flips your face around?
116

Like, when you...
118
See, you don't have a side.
119
Like, when you...
120
Anyone who's really got a side, you flip around and you're like horrified.
121
That's why I don't have Instagram.
122
If I took a selfie, then like I literally, I feel like I don't exist.
123
Like, I'm literally like, you know, you have a-- can't just move on.
124
I love that this was from "What's My Weirdest Phobia?" and now we're like, "Rob's face issues." Who was my last FaceTime call?

Yep.
127
He's getting on a plane.
128
Doesn't it come to the premiere?
129
I know.
130
I know.

Spider -Man.
134

137
That's a good one.
138
What's my favorite Met Gala look?
139
- Mmm, the yellow one.
140

141
- Oh that was cool.
142
I did see that.
143
- Yeah.
144
What's my favorite accessory?
145
It's not really an accessory.
146
But there is one thing I saw you wearing on a plane, which meant I tried to buy afterwards.
147
What?
148
The acne sweatshirt.
149
Oh yeah.
150
Good sweatshirt.
151
It was a good sweatshirt.
152
And I didn't even know it was you until afterwards.
153
That was a cool sweatshirt.
154
And then you got off the plane and it was you.
155
Oh, hey.
156
Favorite accessory is a positive attitude.
157
And a good smile.
158
Which is a more challenging set, Dune or The Odyssey?
159
Probably Dune.
160
Not Jones.
161
Yeah.
162
Pretty intense.
163
Yeah.
164
And they're like, "Can you stop sweating?" And I'm like, "We're in the desert !" I sweat in England!
165
There's plastic glued to my face and head.
166
You cannot have one drop of sweat or it ruins the take.
167
The makeup.
168
The heavy, heavy makeup.
169
You have to redo it.
170
It takes three hours to reset.
171
I did feel bad for you because you were a trooper.

I've never seen you so still in my life.
173
What was my favorite character I've played?
174
Still to come.
175
Love that.

How good am I at tennis?
177
When I found out that I was a fake ball, I was like, "What?" I got very good at pretending to play tennis.
178
I have great form.
179
That'd be quite fun, like how like, "Padel," or whatever became a thing, you just do like, fake tennis like paddle tennis.
180
- Yeah, but you just do it with no ball.
181
- I actually have done that with Roger Vedder.
182
- I remember asking him about it, and then he said, that's how I found out you were faking it.
183
- Yeah.
184
And now it's your turn.
185
- What is my name?
186
- We know each other so well.
187
Is that what it's us?
188
- Yeah.
189
- Robert Pattinson, what is your middle name?
190
- Douglas and Tom.
191
Douglas and Tom Douglas Thomas or Tom That's.. are you lying?
192
Are you being serious?
193
No, I'm serious.
194
That's kind of weird.
195
- Why?
196
- I don't know, because it's like Tom is usually like, like a shortened version of Thomas.
197
- Yeah, that's true.
198
Yeah, it is kind of strange.
199
What's my favorite movie of yours?
200
- Of mine?
201

202
- I would say Dune, because you ended up wanting to be in one.

What's the most uncomfortable thing about the Batsuit?
221
- Your inability to move.
222
- Crotch is too small.
223
- Oh, didn't know that.
224
- I'm joking.
225
You know what the thing is, it's like not being able to hear.
226
- Okay.
227
- Like it's kind of like, you can sort of hear, but you're just, when you're constantly saying, "What, what?" Like people stop talking to you after a while.
228
It's so annoying.
229
- And then you feel like you're by yourself.
230
Yeah, and then you just realize you're just alone.
231
You're sitting in a corner with a little Batman suit.
232
You're alone sitting in a massage chair, because it's the only check that can accommodate.
233
You have to sit with your face through the hole.
234
It's the only check you can sit on.
235
What reality TV show would I be on? would you be on?
236
Traitors.
237
You would be good on Traders.
238
I've never seen that.
239
I know you'd be good because...
240
Lying.
241
You know, I really like the porn store thing.
242
What is it called again?
243
When you like sell stuff.
244
- Pawn stars?
245
- Pawn stars, yeah.
246
Judging the items, I like that.
247
-It's like the antiques roadshow.
248
It's not really a reality show.
249
-Yeah.
250
What extremely niche obsession do I secretly have?
251
I don't know.
252
Do you have an extremely niche obsession?
253
Uh -huh.
254
What movie do I regret doing?
255
What?
256
Oh no. I don't know.
257
I wouldn't say you would regret anything, 'cause I feel like it's made - You had none.
258
- You, you know, Who you are at your pack?
259
The ones which I...
260
- Could potentially regret no one's door anyway.
261
- And we won't be bringing them up.
262
- What does a good impression of me sound like?
263
- Wait.
264
What is a good impression?
265
So you have to do an impression of me.
266
I have to do an impression of you.
267
Oh, right, right, right.
268
You go...
269
Like you'll say something and you'll be like, "No, no, never mind, never mind." No, no, no. And I'll be like, "What is it, Rob?
270
What is it, Rob?" He's like, "No, it's stupid.
271
I shouldn't play it." And then you eventually say it.
272
So a lot of it is unintelligible things that I can't understand.
273
And then eventually, after many times of saying, "It's okay, Rob, tell me, it's okay." Then he'll tell me.
274
You're quite good at understanding kind of Your internal...
275
Point.
276
One point.
277
Thank you.
278
One point.
279
- Uh, if I were an animal, what animal would I be?
280
- Some random weird thing.
281
'Cause everybody, you know, I would say like, "Ooh, you know, people wanna be like a lion," or whatever, and then you'll figure out some obscure reptile, and then it's like, "Okay,
282
Rob, got it." That's like the biggest insult.
283
But it's true.
284
That's like some...
285
Because you know you want.
286
Some niche.
287
Some niche, weird animal nobody's ever heard of.
288
Am I wrong?
289
Not a tiger.
290
What's my favorite thing about being a dad?
291
Just all of it, no?
292
Just being a dad.
293
She's the best.
294
- He's the best, there's no favorite things.
295
- He's wonderful.
296
- Who was my childhood hero?
297
- Childhood hero, I have no idea.
298
- Uh...
299
- We've not gone that deep.
300

301
Ian Wright, who's a football player.
302
Okay.
303
Who I did my first ever job with.
304
Really?
305
Yeah, like a commercial.
306
That's cool.
307
What's my most embarrassing online moment?
308
Owie.
309
Alright guys, alright.
310
Embarrassing online moment?
311
I guess I'll bring up, because you said the thing about the meme, the picture, that's like a very famous meme now, and you're like, how did that happen?
312
It was just like a fitting picture, and now it's like ingrained into everybody's brain.
313
I mean, so many.
314
But it's kind of the good thing about embarrassment, you just, if you just like, Just pump some more embarrassing things out.
315
- Then it just kind of blends in.
316
- Yeah.
317
What's the weirdest thing I do on set?
318
I definitely have a few videos of you zoning out.
319
- Zone?
320
- Like you go into like, you just like stare.
321
- I do?
322
- Yeah.
323
I have a video of you where I'm like zooming in on your face and you're just like
324
And you're just in the mind palace.
325
- You know what, I think it's kind of weird, I'll do little things.
326
I've figured out ways to deal with anxiety over the years, but then you realize one little trick and another little trick, and another little trick.
327
and then you've got a bunch of superstitions and all this stuff.
328
And you've got to do all of them all the time.
329
Like if you're really nervous, I mean, you do all of the things at once, it does look quite strange.
330
No. No. Who is my favorite superhero?
331
- Spider -Man.
332
- Hilarious.
333
- Obviously it's Batman, but.
334
I don't even know any other superheroes.
335
Describe my acting method.
336
- Your acting method?
337
Your kind of process for the drama and Dune were very different.
338
In the drama, like I've always said, I really appreciate how you just like, you're like, we're just going to ask a lot of questions.
339
We're going to investigate everything.
340
We're going to like turn this whole thing inside out.
341
And then with Dune, while you still did that, you also kind of came in with like, I feel like almost like a fully realized thing already like maybe you did that in a separate
342
space and you just came and you're like, this is what I'm doing.
343
I was just kind of judging because everyone else seemed like they knew what they were doing.
344
Yeah, okay.
345
I was literally like, I thought it would be like embarrassing if I could.
346
What's going on?
347
Who am I?
348
I don't understand anything.
349
That scene in Dune when you, I can't really give it away.
350
But there's one scene in Dune where you're like really good.
351
Well, thanks.
352
There's some seasoning.
353
You're really good.
354
Like you said that, this is kind of one of the rare times that you've used your own like accent in a film?
355
- Oh, in the drama.
356
- Yeah.
357
And I know that that was like kind of like a weird thing for you to-- Even when I see it now, I see a clip, and I'm like, it still doesn't really sound-- I'm like,
358
"It's not really an accent." It's not.
359
It is.
360
It is.
361
What am I usually doing on a Tuesday night?
362
- Probably with your daughter?
363
Yeah.
364
How do you know if I'm having a good time on set?
365
It's really strange when you just ask questions about yourself.
366
So then what did I do?
367
How do I know that you're having a good time?
368
There is a particular scene that I felt like was like in the drama that was really important.
369
I feel like we did a good job and we all like locked in 'cause it's the four of us, the dinner thing.
370
And I think we all kind of It felt like we were all having fun because we were like, you were sharing stories, making everybody laugh, and then we'd like roll right into the take.
371
And I feel like you were having a good time that day.
372
- It was fun.
373
- It was a fun day.
374
I think you got through more questions than I got.
375
You got...
376
This many points.
377
Bye.
378
You got...
379
- That's a big point.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
