The actor, who shot to fame as Edward Cullen in the film adaptation, didn’t realise what he was signing himself up for when he auditioned for his role.
He said:
“It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London.
“I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all.
“I’d seen Kristen Stewart in Into the Wild and some of the director Catherine Hardwicke’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small.”
And despite becoming a global superstar almost overnight, Robert says he’s anything but an “attention-seeker”.
He told
AnOther Man:
“I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”
