Robert Pattinson: I’m done with Hollywood

Just months after saying how much he loved the place, Robert Pattinson has revealed that he’s pretty much done with Hollywood.

The 28-year-old star — who sold his Los Angeles mansion last year for close to $7 million — has admitted that his feelings towards the city have changed and that he intends to move home to the UK.

“I think I might be done with Los Angeles. I’ve just realised that in the past few weeks,” Pattinson told The Independent’s Radar magazine.

“If you are the kind of person who needs to be pushed into doing something, then Hollywood is not the right place.”

Pattinson also told the magazine that he’d become a little complacent in Los Angeles and that he needed to get back to his hometown (Pattinson grew up in Baes, just outside of London).

“I think I need to spend more time in London, or just move around a bit more. I’ve been in LA for six or seven years or something and it’s weird,” he said. “The more you stay there, especially as an actor, the more you think you need to be there, that you’ll be missing out on something by leaving, but you’re not really.

“It’s a fun city, though, but you are permanently on holiday there. I feel like I’ve been on holiday there since I was 22.”

Pattinson’s comments completely contradicted his thoughts back in June when he told The Telegraph that he was always keen to get back to LA after holidays in the UK.

“I spent two months in England last year which is the longest I’ve spent there in six years, which was nice, but I always go back to England at Christmas time and get so depressed that I’m glad to get back to Los Angeles,” he said.

“I’ve really grown to like LA and I guess it’s my home at the moment.”

Still, there might be a matter of the heart that has Pattinson wanting to get home, given the actor’s recently been seen in the company of British singer FKA twigs (real name Tahliah Baett).

Still, there’s been a nasty element to the couple’s union. Since their relationship has become public knowledge, the British singer has had to deal with racial vilification online.

Speaking out via her Twitter account over the weekend, the half-Jamaican, half-Spanish singer slammed those who have been leaving her racist messages.

“I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week,” she wrote. “Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it’s unacceptable online.”
