Jamie Dornan was never sure Robert Pattinson โ€œfit inโ€ with him and his friends.

The โ€˜Batmanโ€™ actor recently claimed he was always the last to be invited out with the โ€˜Belfastโ€™ star and his now-famous housemates โ€“ who included Andrew Garfield, Eddie Redmayne and Charlie Cox โ€“ when they were all trying to make it in America.

However, Jamie insisted they never just offered Robert a โ€œpity inviteโ€ but rather they were unsure heโ€™d want to hang out with them because he was always busy with acting jobs while the rest of the group were trying to get a big break.

Jamie told โ€˜Entertainment Tonightโ€™: โ€œNo! The pity invite? No I think with Rob itโ€™s always been like, he sort of had success earlier, so we were a bit like, โ€˜Does he really fit in with us?โ€™

โ€œBecause we were not working and heโ€™s working all the time. He did โ€˜Twilightโ€™ and was suddenly in a different stratosphere than us and weโ€™ve sort of, not caught up, but we all started working more consistently, but yeah, Jesus, weโ€™ve known each other a long time.โ€

The 39-year-old actor is still particularly close to โ€˜Tick,Tickโ€ฆ Boom!โ€™ star Andrew and he was delighted his friend was a fan of his 2021 comedy โ€˜Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Marโ€™.

He said: โ€œHe particularly loves it. He came to it late. Andrewโ€™s one of my best mates. He came to it late. He only saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I know how much he loves it.โ€

Jamieโ€™s clarification about Robert comes after the โ€˜Lighthouseโ€™ actor claimed last month the group used to ask him to hang out with them as an โ€œafterthoughtโ€.

He said: โ€œI wasnโ€™t actually roommates. They were all roommates, and I was kind of the last one invited.

โ€œI was invited as an afterthought. Thereโ€™d be like one slice of pizza left and Iโ€™d be like, โ€˜Is there any for me?'โ€
