Before attaining stardom with the Twilight saga in 2008, the British actor starred in another film that same year.

In “Little Ashes,” set in 1922, Pattinson portrayed the role of young artist Salvador Dali, who embarks on a journey at a Madrid university, forming close bonds with filmmaker Luis Buñuel and writer Federico García Lorca.

The plot delves into Dali's deep affection for Lorca, leading to a passionate romantic entanglement that forms a central part of the narrative.

Despite being n^de for significant portions of the film, Pattinson faced a significant challenge while filming a pivotal s=x scene.

To ensure the authenticity of the moment, the actor, known for his role as Batman, made a bold decision to eschew pretense and opted to engage in self-pleasure instead of simulating the act.

This choice stemmed from his desire to deliver a genuine portrayal on screen, even if it meant engaging in the real act.

In a 2013 interview with Germany's Interview magazine, Pattinson expressed his candid thoughts about the experience, acknowledging the potential risks involved.

He humorously remarked on the extent of personal information available online and the lasting impact of such intimate scenes being captured on camera.

Acknowledging the impossibility of feigning such a visceral moment, the actor reflected on his decision to go through with the unconventional approach.

Despite initial uncertainties about the repercussions, Pattinson revealed that the outcome ultimately worked in his favor.

Following the completion of filming, Pattinson admitted to grappling with doubts about the impact of the scene on his budding acting career.

However, to his surprise, he received the positive news of landing a role that would eventually catapult him into the global spotlight with the Twilight series.

“Little Ashes” garnered recognition by winning the GLAAD Media Award for ‘Outstanding Film−Limited Release' during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

Although the film boasts a respectable 6.4 rating on IMDb, critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes remains lukewarm at 24 percent.

Critics noted the film's strengths in casting but highlighted inconsistencies in tone and occasional moments of unintended humor.

Despite mixed reviews, the movie stands as a testament to Pattinson's commitment to his craft and willingness to push boundaries in pursuit of authentic performances.
