Robert Pattinson recently revealed in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel a controversial scene with a dog in his new movie “Good Time,” which caught fans’ attention as well as animal rights group PETA. R-Patz said that there’s a scene in the movie where he was required to perform a hand job on a dog, which he firmly refused and ended up doing it on a prosthetic dog penis. He revealed that the director tried to persuade him to do such a thing a but he chose not to. His character has an affinity with dogs, as he believes that he was also a dog in his past life.
However, in a recent statement, the 31-year-old actor clarified that his comment about the dog was only a joke.
R-Patz was just kidding around
“The story I told on Jimmy Kimmel last night seems to have spiraled out of control,” Robert Pattinson said in a statement. “What didn’t come across is that this was supposed to be a joke. No one at all expected or assumed that anything like that would happen on the "Good Time set.” He went on to say that all of them are animal lovers and would never do something to animals to harm them. The actor also explained that people involved in the movie are all professionals, gathered together to make a great film for everyone.
Robert Pattinson also expressed his embarrassment and said he was only trying to make Jimmy Kimmel laugh, which turned out to have created misunderstanding.
However, he said that the scene with a dog didn’t make the movie’s final cut and might be available in the film’s DVD version. According to PEOPLE, the animal activists (PETA) thanked R-Patz for not doing it to the dog. It might be an interesting scene in the movie but there are sensitive people who might not agree with the actor’s character giving a dog a hand job.
So, R-Patz did make a good decision on that part.
