# Robert Pattinson's Wild Childhood Lie: "My Dad Was Michael Jackson!" Imagine a kid standing in front of his class during **show and tell**, boldly claiming his father is the King of Pop himself—**Michael Jackson**. That's exactly what a young Robert Pattinson did, landing him in hot water at school.[1][2] The **Twilight** heartthrob and **Batman** star, now 39, recently spilled the beans on this bizarre tale during a chat on *Jimmy Kimmel Live*. He confessed that his overactive imagination led him to tell classmates, *"I said my dad was Michael Jackson at show and tell."* The fib stemmed from his fascination with his dad's ginkgo biloba supplements, which he hilariously linked to Jackson's music in his kid logic: *"My dad's been taking this medicine called ginkgo biloba, and this is him singing."*[1][2] Pattinson admitted he got reprimanded for it, saying, *"I did get in trouble quite a lot for doing that... I got in trouble at school."*[1][2] This wasn't a one-off prank. Pattinson revealed he's a self-proclaimed **pathological liar** from way back, blurring lines between truth and tall tales even as an adult. He once invented a story about witnessing a clown's death during an interview, delivering it without hesitation: *"There was absolutely no hesitation at all… I'm like, 'What on Earth? Are you possessed?'"* He even fibbed about his **Batman** training, claiming he barely worked out before admitting, *"You're playing Batman. You have to work out."*[1] Another school stunt involved faking illegal activities with floppy disks to impress older kids.[1] Now a dad himself, Pattinson jokes his daughter might inherit his vivid storytelling skills—she's already convincingly describing imaginary things.[1] These anecdotes highlight how his creative mischief fueled his path to Hollywood stardom, from **The Drama** and **Dune: Part Three** to upcoming roles like **The Odyssey**.[2]
