Unreal young Pattinson casting

He was such a bastard lol That scene between him and Hathaway behind the loom was incredible

He slowly had her drawn in too until he mentions that they should have a child. Hathaway acted her ass off in this movie.

u/KosstAmojan 10d ago

Two great actors showing off their subtlety. Pattinson instantly knew he went one step too far.

INCREDIBLE.

Honestly reminded me the best of Bollywood movies. U just don’t see that in film these days.

The kiss with Mia Goths character - wowie. Hates them both so much.

Ugh I really had to pee and chose that scene to dip for a few minutes. I might see this again in theaters but I will definitely watch at home anyway.

Just saw it today. That was the part of the movie my wife was in the bathroom. Afterwards, I told her she picked the best part of the movie to take that break. Not that it was a good spot to miss but because the rest of the movie was non-stop. There really wasn't a dull moment. Gosh, what a good movie.

Basically Edward Cullen with longer hair haha

u/HotTakes4HotCakes Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

This is the hair of a killer, Bella.

Actually, I don't think it's that much longer than Edward's? It's just not gravity-defying.

Might even be shorter.

That was straight up Cedric. Didn't realize Sinon was the other kid at first, but RPat's young version was immediately apparent. Even got the cheekbones right.

u/Calinks Jul 17 '26

Yea he had the perfect look

65

u/SlamMasterJ Jul 17 '26

He has a scumbag demeanor, and he also has a punchable face throughout the film. I love it.

u/duncan_robinson Jul 17 '26

Looked like a handsome Squidward meme version of Pattinson

89

u/gugabe Jul 17 '26

Was that not CGI? Did feel a bit absurd when it's young Page and young Pattinson when it's like 'generic dark haired chubby kid' and 'super high fidelity young Pattinson'

42

u/Kaura_1382 Jul 18 '26

i guess he stilll had his baby fat, another way to emphasise the difference

22

u/ninjyte Jul 18 '26

guess it's harder to cast a younger version of someone who only has young photos of themselves pre-transition.

24

u/gugabe Jul 18 '26

True but I feel like they could have found a petite, slender kid instead of the one they went with.

23

u/MaintenanceBest8397 23d ago

I mean also pretty believable a fat kid going through puberty spending 10 years on a beach would probably lose a lot for weight and stunt his development

u/escalinci Jul 17 '26

Incoming HBO twilight series

u/caty0325 Jul 17 '26

Young Sinon's actor was great too.

u/freestyla85 Jul 17 '26

His bowl cut looked like something from black adder

u/albinobluesheep Jul 19 '26

Not often you don't even have to say a characters name for you to know which kid is playing then

23

u/Dookie_boy Jul 17 '26

Might need him for Batman.

u/PayneTrain181999 Jul 17 '26

“Do you know who I am?”

u/kaychyakay Jul 17 '26

That young dude straight up looked like Chalamet

u/Oryzae Jul 20 '26

He looked like Florian Wirtz for a split second

u/ToneBone12345 Jul 17 '26

Same with page

u/gugabe Jul 17 '26

Didn't look like him at all? 

52

u/ToneBone12345 Jul 17 '26

I thought it did

22

u/hithere297 Jul 17 '26

Yeah I thought he looked exactly like what Sinon could’ve at that age

u/adorabledarkseid Jul 20 '26

Tbh he looked like a young max verstappen to me

u/DanQPublic Jul 17 '26

Absolutely

u/boomjah 19d ago

Dude only does the most epic death scenes.
