RoboPanda sent me this clip of Twilight star Robert Pattinson on what I gather is a regular segment on a Canadian TV show called The Hour. The segment is called “Best Story Ever”, and the premise is that they just ask celebrities to tell their best story ever and leave it mostly unedited. Here’s Robert Pattinson’s:
“When I was 17, I was taking an exam in school, I think it was joker themed (?) and I hadn’t studied at all for it. And uh, I didn’t know the answer to first question and I just shut my eyes. I was considering whether to leave the room or not, and then there was this like, fully realized, three dimensional hologram of Buddha in my head. And uh, I sort of looked at it, and it threw these little spinning jack things (?) into my eyes, and I opened my eyes and I knew every answer to this exam. Every time I shut my eyes though, this Buddha was still there for like three months. And I could ask it questions about things… after about three months I told someone about it, and then I realized I could ask it to do things and it would affect fate, and it would actually change what happened in the world, which freaked me out a bit. I asked it to do a number of things which have significantly altered my life in a lot of ways. And then I met this girl, who I got really obsessed with, and the Buddha left, and she stayed in my head. And for about five years, I resented her every single day for it. And then I asked her about it last year… and she didn’t know what I was talking about.”
I’m assuming he was trying to be funny, but with British people it’s hard to tell sometimes. If there’s a man dressed as a woman in the room, that’s usually a dead giveaway. Without it, kind of ambiguous. Regardless, he shouldn’t kid about this kind of shit with Kristen Stewart around. This could’ve seriously harshed her mellow, or at the very least, led to hours of introspection.
