For as well as they claim to know Robert Pattinson’s life, many outlets still can’t seem to recognize the actor’s trademark facetiousness when they see it.
According to The Sun, Pattinson “is terrified his screaming fans are making him deaf.”
Really?
The Twilight superstar supposedly “revealed” recently that he “already suffers serious hearing difficulties — being made worse by the shrieks of his obsessed female followers.”
“I’m almost completely deaf anyway,” the paperquotes Pattinson as saying.
What the Sun fails to mention, of course, is that Pattinson said he was going deaf in jest from all the screaming that accompanies his every move.
Frenzied crowds greet the actor wherever he goes, and he was playing up the reception he receives at outings such as the noisy Remember Me premiere.
A reporter who recently spent time interviewing Pattinson one-on-one laughingly told Gossip Cop he’s a “teaser” and certainly didn’t have problems hearing the several times they met.
We’ve seen Pattinson in person twice recently, and he didn’t seem to have any difficulty. And other people we’ve contacted said they’ve never (pardon the pun) heard anything troublesome about Pattinson’s ears.
So fans made anxious by the Sun’s alarmist tone need only remember to treat certain reports in the paper like they would one of Pattinson’s off-the-cuff remarks — as a joke.
