Why Robert Pattinson Wanted to Quit Acting

Robert Pattinson revealed that he nearly lost his passion for acting following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the joint actors and writers strikes. In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, the Mickey 17 star shared his concerns about the future of the film industry, describing how the challenges left him feeling disillusioned.

“The last few years for the film industry, starting with COVID and then the strikes, everyone was constantly saying cinema is dying. And quite convincingly,” Pattinson admitted. “I was literally almost turned off. It actually started to get a little worrying.”

The actor noted that during this period, films seemed “very studio” driven, leaving many actors questioning the industry’s direction. However, Pattinson expressed optimism about recent developments, citing a “flurry of very ambitious movies” that have reignited interest in the medium. He also mentioned his excitement for upcoming Oscar contenders and the new wave of directors gaining attention.

Pattinson highlighted some of his favorite recent films, including Armand, The Brutalist, and Anora, and shared his hopes that his upcoming sci-fi film Mickey 17 will resonate with audiences in this renewed climate of cinematic enthusiasm.

The actor, who has previously hinted at the possibility of retiring after completing Matt Reeves’ Batman trilogy, expressed gratitude for the new and exciting opportunities in the film industry, saying, “There’s really cool parts everywhere.”
