Chris Hansen now complaining that Robert Pattinson's version of him is too dramatic
The former To Catch A Predator host leapt in front of cameras to criticize the Primetime trailer.
Chris Hansen, known for his televised sting operations, expressed his dissatisfaction with Robert Pattinson's portrayal of him in an upcoming film. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Hansen criticized Pattinson's performance as "overly dramatic" in the trailer. Although he conceded that Pattinson captured a "pretty good imitation" of Hansen, he emphasized that the actor's portrayal included things he never said or did.
Hansen's family reportedly enjoys Pattinson's version of him, but Hansen remains adamant about his protests. The actor has even stated that Pattinson's performance highlights things that are not true about him. Hansen's recent documentary on media ethics revealed that he is generally a "nice guy, except when it comes to criminals and predators."
Despite the success of his show, "To Catch A Predator," Hansen has faced criticism and scrutiny, especially after Texas assistant district attorney Bill Conradt took his own life following one of Hansen's online stings. Hansen's preferred choice for the role was Denis Leary, but he has leveraged the success of "To Catch A Predator" to promote his streaming network, TruBlu.
