“When I was doing Dune, it was so hot in the desert that I just couldn’t question anything,” Pattinson said in an interview.
He added, “And it was so relaxing, like my brain actually wasn’t operating. I did not have a single functioning brain cell. And I was listening to Denis Villeneuve, ‘Whatever you want!'”
