Robert Pattinson responds to Chris Hansen’s criticism
While on the red carpet, Rob was asked about Chris‘ criticism.
“It’s weird. I was trying to make him, I was trying to make him cool. He is cool. I mean, it’s like, I’m like a fan,” Rob told Entertainment Tonight. “And I think in some ways it’s like an aesthetic thing, where you kind of, what I think is cool might not be cool to other people. But from the screenings we’ve gone to, I think it’s amazing when you see really, really young audiences and people are turning up dressed as Chris Hansen and everybody’s doing Chris Hansen impressions… and it’s at the same age that I discovered him and then [they] go back and look at his work and rediscover or discover all the kind of important work he’s doing as well.”
