- In a recent interview with GQ, British actor Robert Pattinson recalled purchasing his childhood dream car, a Shelby Mustang GT350, during his rise to fame while filming the iconic Twilight franchise.
- The actor shared humiliating experiences involving the vintage car continually breaking down in public, often in front of large groups of tourists, which forced him to push the vehicle around corners until he decided to replace it with something reliable.
- Historical car auction records from Barnett-Jackson in 2017 confirm that Pattinson previously owned a rare 1968 Shelby GT350 Hertz edition, which was one of only 224 built and had only been driven 400 miles since a full restoration in 2011.
- Pattinson reflected on his broader habit of purchasing second-hand vehicles online, including a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado that he successfully haggled down from its original asking price to under 2,500 dollars during his early career.
- Alongside discussing his past car struggles, Pattinson teased his upcoming screen projects, including the UK-based production of the sequel to The Batman and the A24 drama Primetime, in which he plays television personality Chris Hansen.
