20 Incredible Facts You Didn't Know About 2020's Biggest Movies
1. Robert Pattinson Hid His Accent Until The First Day Of Shooting - The Devil All The Time
Robert Pattinson has proven himself a dab hand at accents over the years, yet when honing a distinctive southern drawl for his new role as the seedy Reverend Preston Teagardin in The Devil All the Time, he opted to forego working with an accent coach and instead came up with it by himself.
Further still, Pattinson deliberately concealed the accent from the cast, crew, and even director Antonio Campos. Despite the rest of the widely international cast sending recordings of their accents to the director during pre-production, Pattinson preferred to work in isolation on his.
Ultimately Pattinson delivered the goods with a sublimely slimy accent, and Campos insisted he was never worried about the rising star failing to deliver:
"There was no way in my mind that he was going to come on set with something bad. I might not have dug it, but it wasn't going to be bad. I'd rather have someone come with something weird that's a choice than something that isn't thought out. So I knew he would come with something interesting."
