Robert Pattinson is no picky eater.
Responding to Jennifer Lawrence’s claim that she fed him food retrieved from her trash one evening, the actor, 39, offered his verdict on the meal during a Saturday, November 1, interview with Entertainment Tonight that was published the following day.
“I thought it was delicious,” Pattinson, who stars with Lawrence, 35, in the upcoming film Die, My Love, told the outlet at the film’s New York City premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater. “She must have a really nice trash haul.”
Lawrence detailed during an October 17 appearance on The Graham Norton Show that she fed Pattinson after she invited him over one night. “He comes in, and I give him a hug, and he’s like, ‘You have any food? I’m so hungry,’ [and] he goes to the bathroom, and I do have food but it’s in the trash,” the Hunger Games actress recalled. “While he was in the bathroom, I was just, like, pulling food out of my garbage can.”
She noted that Pattinson liked what he tasted so much that he asked for more. It was only then that she revealed where she’d gotten the food from — not that it bothered him. “He was like, ‘Oh, I don’t mind,’ and he just pulled it out of the trash and kept eating it,” Lawrence recalled, adding that she had friends over who all proceeded to “just kinda watch him eat this trash.”
During the New York premiere of the pair’s film, Pattinson spoke about how much he enjoyed working with Lawrence. “I’ve always been a massive fan of hers. I didn’t really realize that it would be as easy as it was … to be friendly and also how easy it is to work with her,” he told the outlet on the red carpet. “She’s so good, so egoless … kind of amazing, she’s just such a natural actress.”
In a rare red carpet outing, Pattinson was accompanied at the premiere by his fiancée, Suki Waterhouse, who posed alongside him in a floral gown by Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen with a green tweed skirt. She dialled up the glamor further with a choker necklace adorned with an ornate brooch.
As for Pattinson, the Mickey 17 star looked equally dashing, opting for a black-and-white Dior Men ensemble that included a suit, vest, fringed scarf and basket-weave sandals.
Die, My Love is set to be released on Friday, November 7, and follows the story of a writer named Grace, played by Lawrence, who develops psychosis and postpartum depression following the birth of her first child. Based on a 2012 Spanish novel written by Ariana Harwicz, the story also follows Grace’s husband, Jackson, played by Pattinson, who must adapt to his evolved wife.
Lawrence spoke fondly about her costar during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, comparing him to various loved ones. “Rob is one of the girls. He wants to gossip,” she explained before adding, “He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on. He brings out a very maternal side in me.”
Pattinson shares one child, a daughter, 19 months, whose name has not been publicly confirmed, with Waterhouse, 33. For her part, Lawrence is mother to two children, sons Cy, 3, and another child, 6 months, whose name has also not been publicly confirmed, whom she shares with husband Cooke Maroney.
