Proving once again that you should probably question the freshness of food you eat at friends' and coworkers' houses, actor Robert Pattison allegedly was given food to eat out of fellow actor Jennifer Lawrence's garbage.
According to Lawrence, who recounted this incident while on The Graham Norton Show recently, Pattinson had called after wrapping up a film nearby to where Lawrence was staying and having a slumber party with friends. The actor came over, and, per Lawrence, said that he was hungry and wondered if there was anything to eat.
Lawrence said yes, not realizing that the only ready food she had in the house was not in the fridge or on a counter, but already in her garbage can.
So, she cleaned it up and fed it to him. She and the other women at the slumber party watched, aghast, and even more so when he shrugged off the food's origin before going after more—straight from the can.
She explained:
“So he eats it, and we’re all just kind of like—watching him eat this trash. And then, when he was finished, he was like, ‘I’m still hungry, is there more?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, there is, but it’s in the garbage.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t mind.’ And then he just pulled it out of the trash and kept eating it.”
Pattinson, whose roles in the Twilight series and as Batman have financially supported his more oddball acting choices and productions, has made a name for himself doing odd or off-putting things and discussing them openly on the interview trail.

Because of his storied background that he reveals over the course of press tours, this was not exactly shocking news.

Many people, however, paused because they couldn't figure out Lawrence's thought process. Earlier in the interview, Lawrence had said that Pattinson brought out maternal instincts in her, despite him being older than her.
Small wonder, then, that people put those two thoughts together and were confused.

All this added up to folks saying that this sort of information was maybe more of a private memory and not one that they themselves would be willing to share with the world.

One person commented that this really goes to show that you can't always trust gifted food.

Some reminded others in the comments that Pattinson is sometimes less than truthful in interviews, mostly as a joke to himself.

Lawrence and Pattinson star together in Die My Love, a psychological black comedy-drama based on the 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz.
