Robert Pattinson, one of the finest actors in the globe, wowed us with his impeccable skills in Twilight, and other classic films. However, his stint in Harry Potter was truly an emotional one for any Potterhead. While his death in Goblet Of Fire, definitely strikes us with goosebumps, here we have shared how the actor prepped up for her action scenes in the film.

“I’d sort of fallen into it,” Pattinson told GQ about getting cast in Harry Potter. “I mean, it was so terrifying. I remember the first scene I ever shot was in the magical maze at the end, and I’d never done anything with special effects and stunts. And it was a big deal at the time. It felt very, very, intimidating.”

The actor reportedly punched before doing the action scenes in the film. He said, “I think I’d read a book on method acting,” Pattinson shared. “The only thing I really got out of that was just beating yourself up before every single scene. That was basically my only concept of how to prepare for a scene. I was psyching myself up as if I was getting into a fight or something before these scenes, and just screaming into a pillow and fighting, punching myself, and kind of ripping my clothing and stuff. But I had all these prosthetic wounds on, and all of the prosthetics would melt off my face, and I’d have to have all of my makeup done again. But I had no concept of how to kind of get into a psyched-up physical state.” as quoted by Cheatsheet.
