The Twilight star admitted that a story he told Matt Lauer during a Today show interview about watching a clown die in a fire at the circus as a kid was completely fabricated.

Robert Pattinson recently revisited one of his most infamous moments: claiming in a live TV interview that he witnessed a clown dying at the circus when the clown’s car exploded.

Unsurprisingly, the actor later admitted that the story was a complete fabrication, leaving fans both bewildered and amused.


This isn’t the first time Pattinson has indulged in wild storytelling during interviews. From recounting a dinner with a stalker he bored into leaving him alone to conjuring surreal anecdotes, the actor’s penchant for bending the truth has become part of his charm.

Rising to fame in the late 2000s with roles in Harry Potter and Twilight, Pattinson quickly developed a reputation for his reluctance toward celebrity life. Over time, he’s revealed that much of his eccentric interview behavior stems from a desire to make conversations more entertaining.

Reflecting on his earlier antics, Pattinson's clown tale remains a standout example of his uniquely chaotic storytelling style—something his fans have come to love about the actor.

People were impressed with his storytelling skills.


Pattinson was also known to use strategic lies to get out of bad situations.

In retrospect, lying to specifically Matt Lauer was probably okay.



Many didn't even blame him for telling huge lies while on the interview circuit.


Pattinson is slated to perform in two films coming out in 2025: Mickey 17 and Die, My Love.
