Chris Hansen recently gave his reaction to Robert Pattinson’s impression of him in the upcoming A24 drama-thriller “Primetime,” which chronicles Hansen’s stint as host of Dateline NBC’s “To Catch a Predator.”

“I mean, obviously he has practiced imitating me, and while I think it’s overly dramatic, I think there is a pretty good imitation there in the trailer,” Hansen told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s not so much what I think; it’s what other people think. And you know, my wife [and] my family seem to think it’s a pretty good imitation.”
