Robert Pattinson plays a good looking criminal in Good Time

Michael-Oliver Harding from AnotherMan recently spoke to the Safdie Bros and below is an extract of Josh’s comments about Rob and Good Time:

Josh’s longstanding fascination with American outlaws was somehow reawakened by a very complimentary note the Safdies received from Robert Pattinson, who basically low-key implored Josh and Ben to cast him in their next project. “[Rob’s] face is obviously a classic, beautiful face, and I can only liken it to some of these criminals who show up in the back pages of tabloid newspapers,” suggests Josh. “Look at [California criminal-turned-model] Jeremy Meeks, whom they released a mug shot of. Now he’s a hugely successful model. There’s this American Dream element to the good-looking criminal. They just get a pass and you can imagine they’ve been using that their whole life. By casting Rob, we wanted to play with all these elements that exist in real life.”
