Robert Pattinson Called Out After Roommate Story About Andrew Garfield and Charlie Cox Falls Apart

If you put Robert Pattinson on a lie detector and hand Jennifer Lawrence the questions, things are going to get spicy. And that is exactly what happened in Vanity Fair's latest polygraph bit with the Die My Love co-stars.

The roommates question that was not

Lawrence brought up Pattinson's early days in Hollywood and that now-legendary friend group that seemed to be everywhere at the same time. For the record, Pattinson cleared up a small myth: he only actually lived with Tom Sturridge. The rest of the crew mostly bunked together in LA while he floated around with them.

• Andrew Garfield
• Eddie Redmayne
• Tom Sturridge
• Jamie Dornan
• Charlie Cox

Then Lawrence went right for the jugular:

'Would you say that you are more talented than all of them?'

Pattinson answered fast: 'No, absolutely not.' The machine disagreed. Make of that what you will. Honestly, that lineup is wall-to-wall ringers, but I do respect a little quiet confidence bleeding through the wires.

The audition hack that made casting rooms weird

Eddie Redmayne once told Jimmy Fallon that back in the scramble years, Pattinson and Sturridge had a shared strategy for auditions: do the opposite of what is on the page. If the sides looked hushed and intimate, he would be waiting in the hallway hearing full-on shrieks from inside. His takeaway was simple: everyone was trying anything to stand out, and those two leaned in.

Results speak for themselves. Pattinson has come off Batman, then Mickey 17 and Die My Love, with The Drama, The Odyssey, and Dune: Part Three on deck. Sturridge broke big as Lord Dream/Morpheus in Netflix's The Sandman and has The Revisionist and The Man I Love up next.

Rob and Tom: day-one friends

Pattinson and Sturridge go way back. They met at London's Harrodian School when they were 13, and they have basically been glued ever since. Sturridge has pushed back on the idea that Pattinson greased the wheels for his career, but the friendship is undeniable. They pop up together constantly, from low-key shopping runs to late-night Met Gala after-parties.

There was even a tabloid chapter: during the post-scandal fallout years ago, reports claimed Kristen Stewart tried to reach Pattinson by first talking to Sturridge, hoping a private conversation with him could help patch things up. One source said she cared more about getting that chat with Tom than showing up for her own On the Road premiere. Believe it or do not, it was very much a thing in the rumor mill at the time.

And if you want a tidy bow on the bromance, here it is: according to Irish Central, Pattinson is the godfather to Sturridge's niece, born to his sister Matilda in 2011. He was 25 when he got the nod.

So, if you had to crown one from that stacked crew as the most talented, who gets your vote? And if you are curious what set off the lie detector in the first place, Die My Love is in theaters now.
