It's March 21st, and here's what's happening across entertainment and pop culture. Robert Pattinson opened up on Jimmy Kimmel Live about his habit of stretching the truth, which started way back in his school days and even got him in, hot water with teachers. One early fib he remembered was during show and tell, when he told classmates his dad was Michael Jackson. It all came from his love for the name, Ginkgo Baloba. Those supplements his parents took, paired with the taped Michael Jackson album he played as. Proof. Now a dad himself, Pattinson says the trait might be hereditary. He and fiancee, Suki Waterhouse, welcomed their daughter in March 2024, and she's already a natural at it, convincingly claiming to spot A, giraffe in the room with zero hesitation. She won't buy his stories either, seeing right through him from the start. Meanwhile, he's admitted to other tall tales, like faking a drug smuggling operation with powder-filled floppy discs to impress older kids or playing.

Down his workouts for the Batman role, these reflections came while promoting his new movie The Drama, highlighting how Pattinson keeps fans hooked with his honest take on his playful side.
