Fame, as Robert Pattinson is usually as well ready to admit, is a double-edged sword.

The phenomenally successful teenager evil spirit franchise, Twilight, has sunk the teeth in to a inspired fan bottom and remade Pattinson from a left-handed Harry Potter ancillary cast-member in to one of the majority fascinating men on the world (or "the Most Handsome Man in the World, as he was dubbed by Vanity Fair).

Its warranted him millions, done British-born Pattinson the majority sought-after immature actress in Hollywood, and furnished him with a luminary girlfriend, his co-star in the evil spirit films, Kristen Stewart.

But the success of the initial dual instalments in the authorization Twilight, that came out in 2008, and New Moon, that was expelled last Nov has engendered the own set of problems, not slightest on the set of his initial post-Twilight movie, Remember Me.

"Honestly, starts Pattinson when we encounter up in a road house in London, "shooting Remember Me was unequivocally difficult. The Twilight fans were good theyd come, watch us fire and would be still when they were asked but the paparazzi, what a garland of f---ing animals.

Pattinson explains that the photographers done so majority sound cheering out, perplexing to "get a climb that the casts discourse was ruined, and had to be utterly re-recorded.

Then one punched the second assistant-director in the face. "That was a bit much, Pattinson says.

This is the fifth time Ive met Pattinson, and each time hes been bashful, common and fun to be around roughly as well fun. So at heedfulness is he to be friendly and rip-roaring association the frigid conflicting of Twilights dour, broody 100-year-old vampire, Edward Cullen that his efforts mostly horrify those around him.

Shortly after alighting the part, he certified that hed taken Valium in sequence to get by the Twilight audition. Last year, suitable of nothing, he whispered in my ear "Honestly, I only went for a pee and unexpected about twenty people longed for to shake up my palm true away. I was like, "Hah, hah, I havent even cleared my hands!"

His publicist was mortified. Its easy to suspect a identical greeting to a new US repository speak in that he joked that he was "allergic to vagina.

Today, he is sporting a raggedy beard, that ruin wear during his subsequent non-Twilight movie, Bel Ami, a fan base-testing instrumentation of the second novel by 19th-century French bard Guy de Maupassant.

"Its awesome, Pattinson laughs. "Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristen Scott Thomas, and I nap with all of them!

Just a integrate of years ago, Pattinson was nonetheless an additional actor-cum-model-cum-musician with a integrate of solid, if unexceptional, purposes to his name one of which, in Mira Nairs 2004 version of Vanity Fair, essentially finished up on the cutting-room floor.

Today, at only 23, he sits atop a movie authorization that is approaching to have in additional of �1.3 billion by the time it ends. He has already filmed the third in the series, Eclipse, and will fire the fourth and last chapter, Breaking Dawn, at the finish of the year.

The violence he causes wherever he goes is mostly compared with that that followed Titanic-era Leonardo DiCaprio, but, if anything, the even some-more frenzied.

During filming and at premieres he needs a organisation of twenty-five bodyguards to strengthen him from the braying mob. When they do conduct to get to him, fans continually benefaction him with vials of their own blood, or entice him to nip their necks.

There are right away 6 unapproved "R-Pattz biographies in publication, and there will probably be a integrate some-more by the time you review this. Recently, Pattinsons hold up story was retold in a documentary, Robsessed, featuring interviews with friends, former teachers and "super-fans. Robsessed 2 is already in the works.

And the Robert Pattinson fever is not being fed by teenage girls alone; the their mothers, too. Middle-aged, middle-class fans have even shaped their own crush organisation of "Twilight Moms, who explain the books and drive-in theatre have helped urge their sex lives and whose proclivity is summed up by piece of Nora Kindley, vocalization in New York repository "When I see at Robert, I feel identical to I am 8, fourteen and 31, my tangible age, all at the same time.

Stephenie Meyer herself a middle-class, prime mom illusory Edward Cullen as "the majority pleasing quadruped who has ever been born, an impeccably mannered, roughly impossible-to-realise cranky in between Adonis and a Jane Austen heart-throb. Prior to auditioning for the role, the protected to contend that Pattinson did not fit this description.

His majority high-profile piece had been the cursed Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. His representative speedy him to find identical high-profile roles, but Pattinson opted for a piece on stage, receiving the lead in a Royal Court prolongation of The Woman Before. The man he played was ostensible to be troubled, so Pattinson motionless he would "do something unequivocally weird.

But his over-acting didnt go down well and he was dismissed prior to long prior to opening night.

He afterwards went "nuts and deliberate giving up behaving altogether. Apart from purposes in How to Be, a BBC fool around called The Haunted Airman and Little Ashes (in that he played Salvador Dali during a inclement event with an additional man), by the time he auditioned to fool around Edward Cullen, in 2007, hed been perplexing to mangle in to song and "getting dipsomaniac for a year.

But the producers opted to omit his drink belly and the piece was his.

"The fans were asking for people identical to Leonardo DiCaprio, he recalls. "And when you cruise how beautiful my impression is in the books, I was put off. I thought no approach could anybody fool around this guy.

When Pattinsons cast of characters was announced, the books seventeen million-odd fans duly erupted with such loathing youd think the film-makers had picked Ronnie Corbett.

Pattinsons mom kept job to discuss it her son that he was being called "too old or "too nauseous all over the internet.

Pattinson has altered small given his Harry Potter days and is vital proof, perhaps, that good things come to those who dont enterprise as well much. An aw-shucks tact has turn piece of Pattinsons shtick. Hes definitely broke by his looks, or at slightest affects to be.

"I have been lucky, of course, he says. "Like, last year, if I went out, Id have to quarrel to discuss someone up. This year, I see only the same, that is unequivocally scruffy, and nonetheless lots of people appear to have only altered their minds and motionless Im unequivocally sexy.

" Basically, any one who wants to be seen as tasteful should only get Stephenie Meyer to contend "This man is attractive." Then everyone believes it.

Pattinson grew up in the bucolic London suburb of Barnes. His mother, Clare, worked for a modelling agency, whilst his father, Richard, is a vintage-car dealer.

He is the youngest of 3 children; Elizabeth, a musician, is 26, and Victoria, who functions in advertising, is 31. He attended Tower House prep propagandize and afterwards the Harrodian School.

"I never unequivocally did majority behaving behind then, he says. "But one day my father and I were in a grill and he saw this garland of flattering girls and he asked them where they had been. They pronounced that they went to this fool around club, so he pronounced marry improved go down to this fool around club, too.

A piece in Thornton Wilders play, Our Town, shortly followed, as did an agent. Up until that point Pattinson, identical to his sister Lizzy, had harboured low-pitched ambitions.

"I longed for to fool around piano in restaurants in the south of France. I went there on legal holiday once and I saw this man personification in an old tuxedo. He was all dishevelled, with a blockade potion on the piano. I thought that was the coolest thing. So whats happened to me with Twilight isnt unequivocally what Id planned.

Hes a means piano and guitar player, and is so spooky by Van Morrison that he dreams of personification him in a biopic. Right right away hes component song for a movie hes not in, whose name he cant exhibit given "I competence not have time to finish it.

Despite or maybe given of the �12 million hes so far done from Twilight, Pattinson seems blissfully unmotivated with how his career will vessel out. He lives in detritus-strewn road house rooms, stays with his relatives when in London and claims to have positively no element needs over his "crappy car (a 1989 BMW convertible).

That said, he is penetrating not to turn the subsequent Orlando Bloom, an actress who has struggled outward of a big authorization that requires him to do small some-more than see sexy.

"Sure, I goal that Remember Me shows I can do more, he says, "although I see all these things observant the movie is a exam of either I can action or not, but what do you think Im you do in Twilight?

After sharpened the last Twilight film, Breaking Dawn, Pattinson is due to proceed work on Unbound Captives, a western. He chose the latter given his father is "obsessed with the genre, not given the going to be easy "Its going to take at slightest a month or a month and a half of prep work. My complete piece is in Comanche. I need practice.

For now, theres Remember Me, a regretful fool around about Pattinsons stretched attribute with his father (Pierce Brosnan) and his nascent intrigue with Losts Emilie de Ravin.

As the movie progresses, the assembly comes to realize that this is 2001, and Sep eleven is looming. In the United States the drive-in theatre finale has been called emotionally manipulative.

"Do you think so? Pattinson says. "I had been warned about people meditative that, but I review the script, and I only thought it was really tragic. I identical to the clarity of foreboding.

"I suspect I couldve been typecast after Twilight, he continues. "The good thing is that the economy is so bad, I can go, "I dont caring if you think Im right for it, I can get your movie made!"

He laughs. "No, seriously, Ive never pronounced that in a meeting.

One theme on that Pattinson has been shockingly tight-lipped is his intrigue with Kristen Stewart. Theirs is one of the majority forever dissected and speculated-upon relations of new times, and in an age in that mobile phone paparazzi slink around each corner, you cant assistance but admire the approach the integrate have tranquil the media coverage.

When I met Pattinson at the finish of last year, press conjecture about their attribute was reaching hot point, but they didnt confess to the intrigue until February.

"I do think Kristen is amazing, is all ruin contend when I see him. "I longed for to work with her the impulse I met her. Our chemistry was so good.

Their attribute blossomed whilst they were sharpened the initial film. Stewart was still in a relationship, but Pattinson concedes that he pestered her from the outset. "I asked her out a lot, he told me, "but she wasnt carrying it. Eventually, she relented.

The span kept their attribute tip via the filming of New Moon. Pattinson, according to the report press, was related with the likes of Camilla Belle, indication Anne Schoenberger and former fire Nina Schubert, easily deflecting courtesy from Stewart.

Recent reports indicate Pattinson and Stewart have been house-hunting on the Isle of Wight. The integrate outlayed New Years Eve in Ventnor and have assumingly been seeking for a love nest ever since.

It would positively total with Pattinsons enterprise for normalcy and anonymity, that is genuine if his sad correlation of a outing to Oxford Street last Yuletide Eve is anything to go by.

"No one recognized me, even though the store was full of New Moon posters. It was great. Its harder in America. I cant do anything there. There are all these screaming fans. But if I speak to one for five minutes, the apparition is gone.

"Remember Me is on recover from Apr 2
