Now that Robert Pattinson came out of his shell and did some awesome stuff while promoting 'Mickey 17' with the film's director, Bong Joon-ho, everyone's curious if he did try to eat authentic Korean dishes and boy, oh boy, they did NOT disappoint!
There's a video that is circulating on X that made Robert Pattinson fans laugh out loud because of how Robert Pattinson reacted while eating some tasty (and spicy) Korean dishes.
Fans quickly poked fun at Pattinson's "whiteness" adding that all of the dishes that he tried will and always be spicy to him, even if the dishes are not *that* spicy!
"Not Bong apologizing cuz he realized the spice was actually quite serious." - one user replied
"Remember Robert: when an asian says “it's the mild one” or “it's not that spicy”, never believe them. - signed, a Southeast Asian." - another one added
Others also took to X how Robert Pattinson and Bong Joon-ho's duo is the BEST tandem of 2025 because of their cultural differences coming together as one!
"Iconic duo enjoying culture and cuisine, love to see it!" - an X user remarked
"A global duo enjoying flavors straight from the heart!" - another one replied
While some fans are quite happy because they are seeing a different Robert Pattinson because of the 'Mickey 17' press tour!
"I have never seen him do so many different things for a movie's press campaing !! And he is enjoying himself how nice and fun !!!" - one user noted
"The benefit of a Robert pattinson movie coming out aside the movie itself are the numerous funny moments he does in marketing." - one user added
Others are trying to suggest that Robert Pattinson should do "Hot Ones" since he ate spicy Korean Dishes, then maybe the hot buffalo wings of "Hot Ones" doesn't taste like spicy to him.
Some remarked that Bong Joon-ho is trying to kill Patinson's "Mickey" for the 18th time with the use of spice.
"I love how Bong killed him 17 times on screen and tried killing the 18th with spice." - one user commented
"Mr. Pattinson said he would do the hot ones himself." - another one replied
