After Robert Pattinson’s bombshell remark in the interview, the interviewer phoned the film director Christopher Nolan to confirm if the actor was lying about not remembering the plot of his film, to which the director replied,
“The interesting thing with Rob is, he’s slightly f–king with you. But he’s also being disarmingly honest. It’s sort of both things at once. When you see the film, you’ll understand. Rob’s read on the script was extremely acute.”
He continued
“But he also understood the ambiguities of the film and the possibilities that spin-off in the mind around the story. And so both things are true. Yes, he’s f–king with you because he had a complete grasp of the script.”
