Robert Pattinson exposed by Jimmy Kimmel!

Robert Pattinson is doing the hard work of promoting his next film, The Drama, also starring Zendaya, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. But before that happened, Kimmel had a bone to pick with Pattinson: unravelling all the lies he had been telling him for two decades.

And Kimmel wasn’t letting it go. Armed with a list and a very satisfied grin, he fired the question rapidly.

“I think you were like 22 or something the first time you did the show that turned out later to be patently false,” Kimmel said, setting the tone for the evening.

First up — living under a Venice archway beneath trash can lids. “No!” Pattinson fired back, laughing. “There was an archway in my house.”

“The only piece of furniture you had was an inflatable pool raft,” Kimmel continued. “That’s 100% true,” he said, completely unbothered. “Two separate houses,”

Then came the question of owning a thousand suits. “Could be,” Pattinson mused, recalling a failed attempt to offload them on The RealReal. “Didn’t add up to much.”

“A Craigslist car purchase after Twilight?” That’s what Kimmel went for next. “That’s true — it was before Twilight, though,” he clarified.

Then Kimmel dropped the strangest one. “You claimed you have extraordinarily heavy saliva.” Pattinson didn’t even flinch. “I think it might be true. Like, I think like, I think it might have gotten lighter. It’s got a little bit lighter as I got older.”

The best catch of the evening, however, was the hand modelling claim — busted by Pattinson’s own mother, who happened to be in the audience that night. “You claimed that you did hand modelling as a kid,” Kim said.

Pattinson couldn’t bring himself to answer, just smiled and delivered the response, “It’s a good story though.” Kimmel could only agree. “It is a good story.”

Pattinson’s reputation as a pathological liar began early in his career. He has infamously admitted to the habit on numerous occasions to several co-stars, including Zendaya.

Directed by Kristoffer Borgli, The Drama hits theaters April 3rd.
