Keep reading because we dug up some of the most interesting facts about the private lives of Batman’s leading stars.
Robert Pattinson
#1 He gave up a place in college for Harry Potter
Like many of us would if we had the chance, Pattinson chose to go to Hogwarts instead of a muggle university. Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory, was just about to start attending university, when the Harry Potter movie he was starring in went far over schedule, and it prolonged to 11 months instead of four as previously planned.
#2 He almost got fired from Twilight
He admitted in an interview that he almost got fired from the Twilight movie because he was too serious. The actor even got a copy of Stephenie Meyer’s book with highlighted parts where Edward smiles to help him connect with the character.
#3 There’s an asteroid named after him
Being a movie star is cool, but having an asteroid named after you is way cooler. In 2014, a Russian astronomer, Timur Kryachko, discovered a new asteroid and after not being able to find a suitable name for his discovery, named it after the young actor following his wife’s suggestion. The asteroid’s full name is now 246789 Pattinson.
Paul Dano
#1 He was in The Sopranos
