Chris Hansen has finally watched Primetime, gives Robert Pattinson's performance a "D"
We listened to the To Catch A Predator host's podcast review of Lance Oppenheim's drama so you don't have to.
Chris Hansen, the host of To Catch A Predator, has finally watched the movie Primetime, which is about him. Hansen, known for promoting his own interests and complaining about the use of his name, image, and likeness in the film, held back his full opinion until after he appeared on his podcast. In a recent appearance on Fox News, Hansen described the movie as "98 percent pure fiction," particularly criticizing a scene where former NBC News executive Jeff Zucker played himself and had a conversation with Robert Pattinson's character that did not occur.
Hansen's reaction to the film felt rehearsed, using phrases he's used in previous press tours. Despite this, Hansen claimed he was "too busy being the real Chris Hansen" to focus on a fake one. He also stated that he was using the movie to his advantage for upcoming projects. When it came to Pattinson's performance, Hansen criticized him, giving him a "D" grade.
While Pattinson has been gracious in his comments about Hansen, Hansen dismissed the consensus among critics, who gave the actor higher marks.
