Robert Pattinson challenged to public meeting over controversial Primetime film

  • Television host Chris Hansen has issued an open invitation to actor Robert Pattinson to appear on his podcast, Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, to discuss Pattinson's role in the A24 film Primetime.

  • Hansen expressed a keen interest in speaking with Pattinson about the movie and his career, even offering to travel to London where the actor is currently filming a new Batman movie.
  • The veteran journalist has previously been critical of Primetime, labelling it a disingenuous work of fiction that commercially exploits his personal brand without his involvement.
  • Despite his concerns over the film's accuracy and commercial motives, Hansen insisted he is not losing sleep over the project and remains focused on his ongoing real-life investigations.
