In another example that shows you always have to be on your toes with Pattinson, he said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that he sexually pleasured a dog on the set of the 2017 movie "Good Time."
Here's what Pattinson said:
"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.
"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.
"I asked the trainer [about it] because the director was like, 'Just do it for real, man! Don't be a p----!" 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?!' I didn't agree to do the real one, so we made a fake red rocket."
Yeah, we have gone up a level since the days of Matt Lauer and dead clowns.
The news spread all over the internet. Even PETA made a statement praising Pattinson with not going forward with it.
Finally, after the movie's directors tweeted out that the story wasn't true, Pattinson released a statement: "'The story I told on Jimmy Kimmel last night seems to have spiralled out of control. What didn't come across is that this was supposed to be a joke. No one at all expected or assumed that anything like that would happen on the 'Good Time' set."
It's clear Pattinson tries to entertain himself while doing the constant press commitments that come with doing a movie with these little stunts, but even he has to admit this one was taking his brand of humor a little too far.
