Awww, poor guy! Maybe he should sit down and have a chat with Leonardo DiCaprio about the woes of being a heartthrob?
In an interview with the Daily Record, Rob Pattinson talks about being mobbed by teenage girls, how Twitter has ruined his life, dealing with fame and how he was "embarrassed" to do the shirtless scene in New Moon!
"I can't remember what my normal life is like," Rob says. "Because of internet stuff and Twitter, there will be a crowd if you are in a place for more than half an hour. I've learned never to stay in the same place for more than 20 minutes. The biggest challenge is coping with the crowds. I am a quiet, private person. It's strange. You have to change a little bit."
Not only is he a very shy individual, but Rob is incredibly humble as well. On that shirtless scene in New Moon Rob says, "I was so uncomfortable doing it. It really is so embarrassing." Well, we've already gotten a sneak peak at the scene in question, and Rob looks phenomenal, so we don't think he should be ashamed at all!
It also seems like Rob is pretty critical of his movies, and he'd rather sit at home than attend a premiere! He says, "I still can't watch myself either. I have always been like that. Watching myself at the Twilight premiere was a mistake. I had never watched anything of myself since Harry Potter. But I went to it because my whole family was coming to see it. Nothing comes other than this pure discomfort. I can't watch myself. I am just feeling everybody else's reaction. I can't handle that at all."
"I am not very good at taking complements," he continued. "I am one of those annoying people. If someone tells me I gave a great performance, I say, 'oh, yeah, yeah' in a not very interested way. But if someone says I am bad or something, then I agree with it - although I hate it at the same time." After reading over his interview, we can't help but note how perfect he is for Kristen Stewart...she seems to have the same attitude towards being famous, so it's pretty easy to see how their offscreen romance has taken off.
So what does Rob have to say about his role as the dreamy Edward Cullen? "I like playing him. He is a little straight-laced for my liking. He is not rebellious. I think that should be respected." Hmm, does that mean that Rob's got a bit of a naughty streak? If so, that makes us love him even more!
