ActorRobert Pattinsonwas hired to play the role of Preston Teagardin in director Antonio Campos’ 2020 movieThe Devil All the Time. The movie required most of the stars to master the Southern drawl and they got a dialect coach to help them out, however, Pattinson didn’t do that.
The actor mastered the accent on his own and didn’t tell anyone about it until the cameras rolled. Before the shot, he rehearsed his accent in front of Campos, who was then so impressed that he called Pattinson a “mad genius who can do anything.”

The Lighthouse(2019) is undoubtedly one of Pattinson’s best works. In the movie, he showcased a New England accent that perfectly went well with his character of Thomas Howard.
