LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Robert Pattinson has experimented with various voices and accents in his roles, leaving many unsure of what he sounds like in real life.

'The Batman' star's fiancee, Suki Waterhouse, offered a glimpse into his posh accent that left fans stunned.

In a recent segment for Elle Magazine, Waterhouse made a prank call to Pattinson about hosting a gig, and social media was quick to spot that the actor sounded miles apart from his characters.

Waterhouse then tried to convince him to co-host the show alongside her, prompting Pattinson to ask, "Darling, have you gone mad."

Further into the conversation, the actor apparently realized it was a prank call. He asked whether she was "joking," and if it was part of "some TV show."

"No, you’re not on TV, you are gonna be on the internet though," Waterhouse said, earning a squeaky "no, I don't want to" from the other side.

For instance, his voice in the upcoming film 'Mickey 17' would sound alien to what fans heard on the phone call with Waterhouse.

Speaking to Empire, the actor said that his voice inspiration for the movie, directed by Academy Award winner Bong Joon-ho, was from 'The Ren and Stimpy Show's titular characters, chihuahua and Manx cat.
