Taika Waititi has revealed that Robert Pattinson introduced him to rumoured wife Rita Ora.
“The internet thinks we met in Australia. You know who brought her to my house was Robert Pattinson,” he continued, adding, “He brought her over when I was having a little barbecue thing and we got chatting and we became friends, we hit it off.”
Waititi said he and Ora bonded over their experiences “growing up in working class families” - despite hailing from different parts of the world.
“She’s from Kosovo and I’m from New Zealand, they’re very far away but our backgrounds were quite similar,” the 47-year-old said about Ora, 32.
“We both grew up poor in working class families, her dad owned pubs and she hung out in pubs a lot when she was a kid and my mum worked in pubs and a lot of my family enjoy being in pubs so I was in pubs a lot as a kids.” the Oscar winner continued.
