The Twilight actor witnessed several of his Hollywood peers attend rallies in Los Angeles to call for an end to corporate greed, but Pattinson was unconvinced by their backing of the cause.

"I was like, 'What are you doing? You're probably ruining it for the other people!' I guess that's kind of a bubble; you want to say things, but you are being hypocritical. I've never really been in a position to give my opinion on political stuff before, it doesn't really come up. But suddenly you've got to take an enormous amount of responsibility."
