Robert Pattinson once invented a story where, as a child, he watched a clown explode in his toy car and an entire circus had to evacuate

You see, the Today show decided to interview Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson about his new movie. And Robert Pattinson made the inexplicable decision to handle it like a sociopath. That story alone is weird and compelling enough to merit me thinking about it, oh, once a month for the past eight years. But it gets even more crazy. Because a week later, while doing press for Water for Elephants in Germany, a reporter followed up to ask Pattinson about the traumatic clown-car-explosion-death experience, and Pattinson admitted that he made the story up.
As someone who has spent most of my adult working life as an entertainment reporter, I admit that all press appearances are inherently ridiculous. We’re asking actors, who have already completed their primary job of performing in a movie or TV show, to do a new, secondary job of delivering fun, quotable anecdotes that need to be A) memorable, B) likable, C) inoffensive and able to be taken out of context, and D) within the strict parameters for what the PR team has mandated.
