Now that we’ve started reading “Twilight” for tomorrow’s book club discussion, we’ve totally joined the legion of girls who have a huge crush on Edward Cullen, and by default, Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward in the upcoming movie. Pattinson has been doing a lot of interviews lately and is giggly and charming in all of them. After the jump, a collection of conversations with the actor that will make you even more excited to see the movie on November 21.
- Robert didn’t think he was “heartbreakingly beautiful” enough to play the role of Edward Cullen. [EW]
- Robert exercised so much to prepare for the role that he looked “like an alien” and had to start eating cheeseburgers. [EW]
- Robert thinks Kristen Stewart is “fierce.” [EW]
- Robert is a little scared of mobs of screaming fans… [EW]
- …for good reason — he caused a mob scene in a San Francisco mall, and police had to come to control the crying girls. [CBS5.com]
- Robert and Kristen are really cute together. Too bad Kristen’s dating Michael Angarano. [MTV]
- Robert stole his costumes from “Twilight” and has been wearing them around instead of buying new clothes. [MTV]

- Robert thought about going into politics, but he didn’t want to do any more homework. [LA Times]
- Robert and Kristen had to kiss for their audition. Also, in this interview, his shirt is unbuttoned really far. [E Online]
