Robert Pattinson Realises that his fans are Obsessive

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.”
