Things We Saw Today: Robert Pattinson Claims Tom Holland Manifested His Spider-Man Role, but Then Again, We Know He Lies

So, we know that Robert Pattinson loves chaos, and that’s exactly what he brought with him to talk to Jimmy Kimmel. The star was promoting his film The Batman and sat down across from Jimmy Kimmel to admit that he was the only one to witness Tom Holland sitting in a Spider-Man suit on the set of The Lost World of Z prior to being cast as Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He made it clear that he was the only one who saw Holland do this and that Holland clearly manifested the role of Spider-Man for himself.

Look, Robert Pattinson lies. He admitted it. In his most recent GQ profile, Pattinson admitted to lying in interviews all the time. So, why is everyone suddenly believing him in this story about Tom Holland? Probably because they haven’t been fans of Robert Pattinson since they were teenagers like yours truly. I can spot a RPattz make-believe story when I see one.

If this were somehow true, it’d be funny to see the two on set and Tom Holland just walking around in a Spidey costume prior to even booking the gig. But I definitely think this is a test to see if we’ll believe what Robert Pattinson is saying. Part of me wants it to be true and part of me knows that it is not, and so at least we know have Robert Pattinson making up a little lie about Tom Holland to carry us into Friday.
