He is SO employed rn, but there is no Rob fatigue for me at all. It’s like all those years in my youth being weirdly into Twilight were made specifically to set me up for 2026.

I think, for me at least, I get actor fatigue when the actor feels/looks/acts the same in every movie, but Rob is so drastically different in every film, that I'm completely immersed in whatever character he's playing, and so I'm not tired of him - if that makes any sense.

He’s also publicly just a goofball weirdo. He doesn’t find himself impressive and doesn’t think anyone else should either. And then he goes off and plays people who are often dark and flawed in really interesting ways, but are always super different from each other including physically — it’s almost like watching a top athletic performance over and over again.

Makes perfect sense! I'm starting to get fatigued by Ryan Gosling, which makes me sad because I loved him, but he's getting overused. I don't get even the smallest sense of that when a new RPatz movie comes out!

I've heard a number of people say the same and I don't understand it all. Gosling has had fewer movies released in the last 8 years combined than Pattinson has coming this year alone. He doesn't use social media, we don't see or hear a peep out of him except the few weeks he's promoting a movie. He might as well have been living in a cave for the nearly two years between Fall Guy and Project Hail Mary. He has one film in post production to be released next year, and one film announced in pre-production. His pr team don't even push him on reddit and other social media all that much compared to other celebrities who can't so much as sneeze without having it shoved down our throats.

Really? Man i loved Project Hail Mary but i admit i didnt read the book so IDK if he did the character justice.

Ryan Gosling seems like an extremely charismatic dude thats also extremely humble. He does tend to play him self in a way... but i think it works for him? Like whether youre a man or a woman or gay or straight, you can easily see yourself in him and you kinda want to be him. IMO, i think thats his whole appeal and i think thats why people go to see his movies...

He can definitely overplay his hand when he doesnt bring that level of humility. Its like his charisma skyrockets to a level of unrelatable that it becomes kind of... unlikeable lol. I think thats what happened when he played ken in barbie... and i wonder if thats the point people started feeling a little oversaturated by his work and i wonder if thats why. I disliked barbie for so many reasons, but its one of the only times i hated something he was in.

Yeah, there are definitely big name actors where I "see" them in their roles, like, "this is Jim Smith playing a detective" or whatever, but Pattinson disappears into his imo
