Edward Cullen coming over to eat and talk shit on the couch with me and my closest friends? That's my make-a-wish.

Jennifer Lawrence: Robert Pattinson Is ‘One of the Girls’—but ‘He’s Also Like My Daughter’

If any celebrity lore makes me giggle, it almost always involves Robert Pattinson. Pre-presidency Donald Trump‘s public concern with his love life in 2012? Peak comedy. His prolific lies? A perfect rabbit hole to go down on a rainy day. And now, Jennifer Lawrence (Pattinson’s co-star in the forthcoming thriller, Die, My Love) has given the people (me) more of what they (I) want: another amusing anecdote that reveals just enough of his personality for me to confirm that I would like to be pals, actually.

During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar winner said that becoming friends with Pattison means he’s joining your girl gang. Lawrence recalled an occasion in which Pattinson called while she had some friends over to eat takeout and watch Little Women. (Though I would consider that a perfect evening that requires no further explanation, Lawrence deadpanned: “It was December.”)

“He was like, ‘Hey, I just wrapped something like a block away from you,’ and I was like, oh my god—’cause Rob is one of the girls. He wants to gossip. He just is one of the gals. And so I was like, ‘Come over!'” Edward Cullen coming over to eat and talk shit on the couch with me and my closest friends? That’s my make-a-wish.

Pattinson isn’t just one of the girls, though, she said: “He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on. He’s not going to eat on time.” Lawrence said he makes her feel “very maternal.” That said, when Pattinson arrived at Lawrence’s home, he asked if there was any food left. And there was…in the trash—a minor detail Lawrence left out. Instead, she fished it out of the garbage—unbeknownst to Pattinson—and served it, to her girlfriends’ horror.

“So he eats it and we’re all just kind of watching him eat this trash, and then when he was finished, he was like, ‘I’m still hungry, is there more?'” Lawrence went on. “And I’m like, ‘Well there is…but it’s in the garbage.'”

Fortunately, Pattinson didn’t care: “He just pulled it out of the trash and kept eating it.'”

I am now eagerly awaiting Pattison’s response.
