The use of PEDs for building a shredded physique was limited to the bodybuilding world until Hollywood demanded ripped avatars for its superhero films. Eventually, the world witnessed the dawn of superhero films with jacked physiques. However, the Twilight sensation Robert Pattinson denied a rigorous workout regime for his superhero role of Batman in 2022.

Batman lovers have seen Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Robert Pattinson, and many more in the superhero’s role. They are also aware of the intense training regimes of Bale and Affleck for their roles, but Pattinson dared to differ. 

Robert Pattinson on training for his role in the superhero movie

The 37-year-old rose to stardom with the romance drama Twilight. His latest release is Matt Reeves’ The Batman. But unlike his predecessor, Pattinson didn’t train hard to build a chiseled body. Now, a YouTuber, Paris Demers, shared a clip on YouTube discussing Pattinson’s stance on portraying Batman. 

“Robert Pattinson had to say no to steroids during the filming of Batman,” the clip suggests while mentioning the massive weight loss transformation of Christian Bale for Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. While Ben Affleck trained for 15 months to play Batman in the DC Extended Universe movies. 

The Remember Me actor confessed that he worked out, however, he just wasn’t focused on getting ripped. The clip concluded, “Robert Pattinson showed his disdain for modern-day male body standards when he said, I think if you are working out all the time: you are part of the problem.” And many consider he is hinting at steroid usage. However, his reason for not training didn’t go well with movie lovers. 

Fans React to the actor’s statements

“Excuses, he just was to lazy,” declared a movie lover who wasn’t impressed by Pattinson’s thoughts. “And we get skinny version of batman, ” complained another fan. 

“Working out is hard and takes dedication,” lamented a netizen, explaining why Pattinson didn’t focus on building muscles. “Dude. You are literally playing a superhero! Haha,” stated another in a sarcastic way. “Bro is complaining about having to train for a role,” wrote another dejected fan.
