From News.com:

Robert Pattinson was surviving on tinned tuna and living in a basement

ROBERT Pattinson took method acting to the next level for his role as a low-life robber in the upcoming film, Good Time. 

He eschewed the usual five star accommodation laid on for a celebrity of his calibre and chose to live in one of New York’s seediest neighbourhoods.

“I literally lived in the same basement apartment [as the character] in Harlem. I never opened my curtains, didn’t change the sheets the entire time I was there, for those two months, and I would just sleep in my clothes,” he tells news.com.au.

“There was this woman who lived upstairs and she kept trying to see what was going on because she thought I was such a weirdo. I kept really weird hours and I would run in and quickly close the curtains.” He laughs.

“I was like this freak living in the bottom of the basement.”

It’s impressive that he maintained this lifestyle — though it must have been difficult for those around him, not to mention, rather smelly? He laughs. “I was by myself the whole time.

“I only ate cans of tuna the whole time. I probably have mercury poisoning now because I ate it just out of the can. That’s all that was there: tuna, hot sauce, and Nespresso capsules.”
