A headline we never thought we'd have to write

Well, there’s a headline we never thought we’d have to write.

Robert Pattinson appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night to promote his new crime drama Good Time, which is in cinemas this month.

When speaking about his time making the movie, Pattinson recalled a scene in the movie that is sure to cause some controversy.

“Oh, God! I don’t even know if I can say this,” he said. “There are a lot of things in this movie which really cross the line of legality.”

“Like, it’s not even on the line,” Robert said. “It’s way beyond the line.”

“There’s a big dog. There was actually, sadly, another dog which was cast, who is this big dog’s son, but it died just before. Mustafa, who is the father and this huge, huge dog, was initially in this scene.

“My character, Connie, has this affinity with dogs; he thinks he is a dog in a previous life and he thinks he has control over animals,” he said.

“There’s this one scene we shot— there’s a drug dealer who busts into the room, and I was sleeping with the dog and basically giving the dog a hand job.”

“It was a character thing. I asked the trainer [about it] because the director was like, ‘Just do it for real, man! Don’t be a pussy!’ And the dog’s owner was like, ‘Well, he’s a breeder. I mean, you can. You just gotta massage the inside of his thighs.’

“I was like, ‘Just massage the inside of his thighs?!'” Pattinson said. “I didn’t agree to do the real one, so we made a fake red rocket.”

But one of the directors of the movie has discredited Pattinson’s claims and labelled them as false.
