During a light‑hearted interview with Vanity Fair, actor Robert Pattinson made waves by admitting he enjoys taking roles that might ordinarily go to younger actors, and even teased that he'd like to "play 17 again." The comment was made as the 39-year-old star and co-star Jennifer Lawrence were promoting their new film, 'Die My Love.' The film got its scheduled release in theaters in the United States on 7th November, and Pattinson's off‑the‑cuff remark signals he's still up for unconventional choices and isn't ready to slow down.
His Playful Remark and What It Reveals
In the interview, Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence participated in a polygraph section for Vanity Fair that covered a wide range of topics, including generational identity and regrets about their careers. During that chat, Lawrence asked Pattinson whether he'd ever return to his iconic teen vampire role as Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight' series. He responded without hesitation, "Oh yeah, for sure," adding with a grin, "I like taking jobs of younger actors. I do. I want to play 17 again."

He even jokingly made a reference to Zac Efron's 2009 movie '17 Again,' saying, "There's a movie–Zac's movie." Beyond the joke, it highlights Pattinson's willingness to revisit—or at least playfully consider—roles that defy his age bracket, and shows a refreshingly self‑aware attitude toward his star image and career path.
