Robert Pattinson has "so much more patience" since becoming a father

Robert told ICON magazine: "I have so much more patience. It's funny, it's not even patience; I genuinely enjoy hanging out with babies. That surprised me."

The Batman star also quipped about how amusing it is to have "real conversations about things like schools or daycares".

He said: "It's so strange. It's like, there's this gravitational pull... Like, I have to wear Patagonia puffer jackets and cargo shorts now. I just have to."

Pattinson revealed earlier this year that he has a new "energy" since becoming a dad.

Speaking at a press conference alongside Jennifer Lawrence to promote their film Die, My Love at the Cannes Film Festival, the Twilight actor said: "I think, in the most unexpected ways, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration afterward. It's a different kind of energy.

"Ever since she was born, it's reinvigorated the way I approach work, and yeah, you're a completely different person the next day."

The Harry Potter star admitted parenthood has made him keen to take on another family-friendly role in the future.

Asked if he is open to doing a kids-focused film in the future, he said: "I'd love to.

"I'm always kinda open to anything.

"Whatever takes my interest is always so shocking to me. I'm like, 'We'll just see what's coming.'"

Pattinson explained earlier this year that he had become fixated with his daughter's smell and is able to tell her apart by scent alone.

He told Vogue: "I remember people used to be like, 'Oh, don't you like the smell of babies?', but I thought they were just smelling the baby powder.

"But then I had a baby, and I was like, 'My baby smells incredible.'

"There's something there, I can identify her. She doesn't smell like other babies."

Robert also revealed he had become an "expert" when it comes to dealing with dirty nappies.

He told Extra: "I'm an expert, like, the stealth nappy when the baby doesn't even know they've had their nappy changed."
