Pattinson Compares New Film Role to Twilight Love Triangle

Robert Pattinson recently drew a humorous comparison between his current film role and his iconic "Twilight" character. In Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," Pattinson portrays Antinous, an arrogant suitor vying for Queen Penelope's affection. Pattinson told MTV UK that this situation mirrors the "Twilight" love triangle, where his character, Jacob Black, competed with Edward Cullen for Bella Swan's attention. He quipped that playing a less-than-heroic figure is "kind of like Jacob in Twilight." The film, also starring Anne Hathaway as Penelope and Matt Damon as Odysseus, focuses on Penelope's indecision during Odysseus's long absence following the Trojan War. "The Odyssey" is currently playing in theaters, while the "Twilight" films are available for streaming.
