Following Robert Pattinson’s teasing comments about pals Jamie Dornan, Andrew Garfield, Charlie Cox, and Eddie Redmayne back in the late aughts, one of the actors is setting the record straight. Upon hearing Pattinson claimed to get “pity invites,” Dornan chuckled and responded with a quick, “No! The pity invite? No.” He broke things down a bit further with Entertainment Tonight at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards.
The “Belfast” star explained that Pattinson hit success earlier than he and the rest of the group. “So we were a bit like, ‘Does he really fit in with us?’ Because we were not working and he’s working all the time.” The buzz surrounding Pattinson’s role as Edward Cullen in “Twilight” boosted him to what Dornan called a “different stratosphere.” Redmayne, Cox, Garfield, and himself had “not caught up” yet, Dornan said.
Dornan also spoke about the crew on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” saying that, “Luckily, over time it all kind of worked out for us.” It worked so spectacularly that almost all of them are superheroes at this point. Cox is known as Daredevil, Garfield as the Amazing Spider-Man, and now Pattinson has become the latest version of Batman. As for Redmayne, he holds an Oscar for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything” and his mate Dornan is racking up nominations for “Belfast.” The friendly competition must have helped them all somehow!
