Robert Pattinson reckons he spent so many hours filming The Batman in the dark that his skin turned green.
The Twilight actor's role as Bruce Wayne in the upcoming DC Comic's flick was mostly shot at night, leaving the actor feeling quite isolated.
In a recent interview with British GQ Magazine, Pattinson opened up about the realities of taking on his new role, which filmed a lot of scenes in Glasgow across some iconic locations.
He previously described Glasgow as a “brilliant Gotham.”
The star, 35, said: “It’s not at all surprising to me that Glasgow has become a sort of unofficial Gotham City. When you think of Gotham you think of a wonderfully Gothic city – and that’s why Glasgow works so well.”
Glasgow has been used as a backdrop for Gotham city in many DC Comics projects - including The Batman, The Flash and Batgirl.
Pattinson added : “I was really, really, really dead afterward. I looked at a photo of myself from April and I looked green.
“The nature of the shoot was so kind of insular, always shooting at night, and I felt very much alone.
"You’re not really allowed out of the studio with the suit on, so I barely knew what was going on at all outside.”
Still, at least he kept chipper on set as he got into character. “I have to really, really feel like I’ve hit rock bottom,” he tells GQ.
"Where right up until the moment I have to perform it’s, ‘Wow, I’m the most empty piece of s***’.”
"Laughing, Rob adds: "You have to feel the pain. And suddenly it’s like God gives you a little treat, ‘Here’s an idea you’ve never thought of before’." So every cloud...
Green skin is definitely an unusual look for someone who is supposed to be taking on the role of Gotham City's masked vigilante.

Robert Pattinson isn’t morally opposed to superhero films. But he wasn’t exactly seeking them out before “The Batman” came along, either.The 35-year-old who seemed to emerge as a fully formed superstar in mega franchises like “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” has for the past decade or so found himself chasing edgier fare, smaller movies with interesting directors and roles where he could stretch and disappear behind an archaic New England accent, as in “The Lighthouse,” the unkempt beard of an explorer in “The Lost City of Z” or the shock of messily bleached hair that accompanies him on a never-ending chase in “Good Time,” to name a few.The strange thing is that it was “Good Time,” a $2 million movie, and its frenetic, freefall energy that convinced director Matt Reeves that Pattinson needed to be his Batman.

But this thing he’s doing, it’s not even working.”The “Lighthouse” actor added, “Like, it’s two years into it, and the crime has gotten worse since Bruce started being Batman.
