Robert Pattinson jokes that he wants to play teenage roles again.
The 39-year-old actor recently sat down with his Die my love costar Jennifer Lawrence, 35, for a new video interview with Vanity Fair.
The couple discussed everything from Twilight to generational marks, with Pattinson joking that he would happily steal a few jobs from younger actors if given the chance.
At one point, Lawrence asked if he would ever reprise his role as Edward Cullen, but only if directors Josh and Benny Safdie were behind it. “Oh yes, for sure,” he replied.
Lawrence laughed and told him, “I don’t think you should,” to which Pattinson doubled down, “That would be great! I like taking jobs from younger actors. I do. I want to play 17 again.”
He then jokingly referenced Zac Efron’s 2009 comedy 17 againadding: “There’s a movie. Zac’s movie.”
Lawrence then teased Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire star about his supposed Gen Z tendencies.
“I thought it was insane when you cold FaceTimed me,” she said. “I thought, ‘It’s crazy to FaceTime someone with a cold,’ and you thought, ‘No, it’s Gen Z.'”
“As in, I’m Gen Z,” Pattinson replied confidently.
“Do you wish you were Gen Z?” Lawrence asked. “I am,” he insisted, to which she shot back, “You’re not Gen Z, you’re a millennial … but I think you think you’re Gen Z.”
When pressed about his year of birth, Pattinson continued to joke, “it doesn’t matter.”
