Robert Pattinson has dead good fans
Monday, 16 November 2009
Robert Pattinson realised how obsessive his fans were when they came to watch his dying scene in 'New Moon'.
The 23-year-old British actor - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie franchise - was amazed at how far some fans travelled just to get a glimpse of the shoot.
He told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: "I have a scene in the new movie where I'm about to reveal myself in the sunlight, which will mean the death of Edward Cullen. We shot it in a town square in Italy and it was the closest moment I came to realising the fan attachment to this character.
"People from around the world heard about the filming and flew into that town square to see Edward Cullen die. Most wanted to stop him from taking that one step into the light. Honestly, I felt this weight of anticipation and the responsibility to the fans who are obsessed with these stories."
The screen heartthrob - who has achieved worldwide recognition since playing the handsome bloodsucker - has previously spoken about how he struggled to cope with fame and nearly "lost it".
He said: "I was getting really paranoid. It's not always easy. But whining won't change anything."
