Robert Pattinson ate 'nothing but salmon' for months
'The Lighthouse' actor Robert Pattinson claims he ate "nothing but salmon" for months, having previously stuck to a diet of canned tuna on film sets.
Robert Pattinson has "eaten nothing but salmon" for months.
The 'Batman' actor insisted he's "like a kid" with needing a routine when he's busy working on film sets, and recently he was having salmon for every meal of the day.
He told GQ magazine: “I'm kind of like a kid. I'm doing a lot of jobs in a row and I get very obsessed about needing to have regimented behavior — otherwise I'd feel crazy afterwards.
"But I was having lunch yesterday and I was like, I can't taste salmon anymore. And I realised I've eaten nothing but salmon for like, months.
"It's like I have a seal’s diet: I genuinely have been eating salmon three times a day."
The 38-year-old star is no stranger to a fish-based diet, and he recalled a time where he would only tuck into canned tuna on film sets.
He said: "I used to only eat tuna out of a can when I was working — I just put Cholula hot sauce on a can of tuna.
"Someone saw me doing it once and they were like, that's absolutely disgusting.
"And then suddenly I kind of got afraid of mercury poisoning, so I switched to salmon. Someone told me I could just get mercury poisoning from salmon anyway. But yeah: I endorse.”
The 'Twilight Saga' actor joked he also supports "hyper-loading caffeine" early in the day.
He quipped: "I definitely endorse hyper-loading caffeine right at the beginning of the day. You just need to basically live your entire day in a kind of manic state.
"But I can't do Celsius — it's too much. That feels like I've kind of gotten on a roller coaster and I can't get off it.
"My favorite thing is instant coffee, more than anything else. It's very English. I like it when it looks like oil — that’s what my espresso is, just barely dissolved coffee granules.”
