Robert Pattinson believes artistes resort to method acting only when y are t playing "lovely" characters on-screen. Pattinson, who went method way to pull off his character in Robert Eggers' " Lighthouse", said role pushed him to edge. "It was a kind of limit part, which I always really like. We'd do se completely wild scenes, and n literally after a take you'd be exhausted. It's kind of cathartic. I don't kw how you'd be able to bring part home. It would be impossible," actor told Jennifer Lopez during Variety's Actor on Actor.

Lopez agreed with Pattinson and said re have been times when she just couldn't wait to shrug off characters when she is done playing it. "I feel like some younger actors feel like y need to stay in it all time, and as I've done movies for many years w, I can't wait for end of day to kind of let it go and go home and get in shower and literally wash it all off," she said. To this, Pattinson remarked, "I always say, you only ever see people doing method (acting) when y're playing an a**hole. You never see someone just being lovely to everyone going, I'm really deep in character.'"
He said it is important for actors to kw when to get into character and when to leave it. "I need to kw when you're on st and when you're off st. I need to kw that between action and cut, that's thing. That's safe . I need to kw it ends. I need to kw re's a cut coming, and n I'll feel safe. If it just feels like you can't get out, that's when you go crazy," he ded. " Lighthouse", which also featured Willem Dafoe, released in US in October.
