In His Latest Interview, Robert Pattinson Blows Up A Microwave While Cooking Pasta

You might not be the best chef, but we can guarantee you’re probably better than Robert Pattinson{ =nofollow}, who managed to explode a microwave during his latest interview for GQ. Yes, you read that correctly. In one of the most chaotic profiles of all time, Rob decided to microwave pasta - wrapped in tinfoil - while he was being interviewed over FaceTime.

It did not go well, obviously.

Rob{ =nofollow}starts cooking in the interview, he says, because last year he wanted to patent a recipe for fast food pasta that involved breadcrumbs, sugar, cheese. tomato sauce and tagliatelle (or at least, that’s the pasta we think he means when he describes it as looking like ‘the hair bun on a girl’). The hellish creation even has a name: he calls it ‘Piccolini Cuscino’ in Italian, which is ‘Little Pillow’ in English.

Unfortunately, in isolation, Rob doesn’t have all the ingredients for Piccolini Cuscino - but that doesn’t deter him for making his signature dish. After microwaving the pasta once, he then adds the haphazard ingredients, substituting cornflakes for breadcrumbs, before putting the pasta in a bun. He then burns himself while burning a P and C into it, wraps the creation in foil, and, crucially, puts it in the microwave.

And bang, that's where it all goes wrong. 'The fucking electricity…oh, my God,' he casually says, after a 'lightning bolt erupts from the microwave'.

You can read the whole wild thing here, where the interviewer Zach Baron says he doesn’t know if what happened was ‘sincere’ or ‘performance art’. And same, tbh.

In the wide-ranging profile, Rob - who is staying with his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse in London - talks about not exercising for his upcoming role as Batman, and how he has been eating ‘out of cans and stuff’ during quarantine. 'I’ll literally put Tabasco inside a tuna can and just eat it out of the can,' he says. 'It is weird, but my preferences are…just sort of eat like a wild animal. Like, out of a trash can.’

Of course, the photos accompanying the interview, which Rob took himself, are suitably bonkers - and sees him pose with socks wrapped around his ankles.

The whole thing might be completely mad, but at least he gives an entertaining interview - which is far more than can be said for a lot of celebs.
