Robert Pattinson has been a Hollywood heartthrob since starring in the first Twilight film. However, through the years, Pattinson diversified his portfolio. From starring in Indie films to taking on complex character-focused roles, Pattinson proved himself a versatile actor.

Pattinson later stunned netizens with his fitness transformation for the $200 million film.

However, the actor who charged $3 million for the role didn’t impress everyone. Despite getting rave reviews, many fans often compare his physical transformation with Ben Affleck’s Batman. Later, the 37-year-old actor opened up about the issues he had to overcome to undergo the?bodybuilding?transformation. A recent video highlighted the mental health issue Pattinson opened up about. However, as usual, Pattinson’s fitness transformation divided the fanbase.
