Robert Pattinson says having a baby gave him more time to work

Robert Pattinson said the birth of his child helped him manage an unusually heavy workload. In a short period, the British actor filmed “The Drama”, “The Odyssey”, “Primetime” and the third “Dune” film. He is currently working on the next “Batman” movie.

Speaking in Venice, Pattinson said becoming a father gave him a clearer sense of his schedule for the first time in his life. “For the first time in my life, I knew what my schedule would look like for about two years,” he said. That helped him regulate his pace and keep moving between projects.

“

For the first time in my life, I knew what my schedule would look like for about two years.

Pattinson and his partner, Suki Waterhouse, became parents to a daughter in 2024. He said that after the baby arrived, he had little desire to go out in the evening, which left him with more time for other things.

“

So I could somehow get myself going and moderate my pace a little.

At the Venice Film Festival, Pattinson is presenting Lance Oppenheim’s “Primetime”. He plays US journalist Chris Hansen, who confronted alleged sexual offenders live on the television programme “To Catch a Predator” in the 2000s, using adults posing as underage decoys.

Pattinson said the projects were an extraordinary privilege and that he would have been devastated to drop any of them. He also said he would not take on multiple projects while working on “Batman”, calling that impossible.

Suddenly I had twice as much time for everything, which was very, very helpful.
