Pattinson’s Hard Road to Imitate Chris Hansen for Primetime
Robert Pattinson says he spent extensive, almost wandering-time imitating Chris Hansen’s distinctive voice for A24’s Primetime, finding the task “incredibly difficult” due to the host’s iconic, dark-toned cadence. He describes listening to Hansen’s podcast and practicing on the streets, and notes the project is produced with Lance Oppenheim and adapts Luke Dittrich’s Esquire piece about a Dateline sting. Hansen has since spoken out about inaccuracies in the film’s depiction.
