Robert Pattinson Not a 'Twihard,' Saw 'Twilight' for The First Time 'A Few Days Ago'

द्वारा Joe Lynch · June 14, 2010

With the third installment in the Twilight series hitting theaters June 30, those still unfamiliar with the phenomenon might be finally getting caught up on what they've been missing. While "Twihards" (diehard प्रशंसकों of the vampire series) may find it surprising that anyone could miss out on their beloved saga, they'll probably be even और surprised to find out who is among the uninitiated: Edward Cullen himself.

Yep, "Twilight" antihero, Robert Pattinson has admitted that, until quite recently, he was among the few who've managed to avoid seeing the movie that made him famous.

"I just saw 'Twilight' on TV for the first time a few days ago," Pattinson revealed during a press conference for 'Eclipse' this past weekend. Although he had seen bits and pieces of the film while doing the DVD commentary, he कहा had never actually sat through the whole thing.

What were his impressions of the $408 million blockbuster he starred in two years ago? "Now that I've seen it, [I realize] आप do need to read the book to get it," Pattinson कहा while laughing. "I was like, 'What?!' and I'm in it."

Pattinson also confessed that he freaked out a bit upon hearing his own song in the first 'Twilight' movie. "I was thinking, 'That is so bizarre,'" he told reporters when asked whether he would pen any और Twilight ditties. "It really shows how none of us thought it was going to be so massive. I never thought people would buy the soundtrack या anything, so it's a little और nerve-wracking now."

What अगला on the agenda for R-Pattz? पढ़ना "Breaking Dawn," for one. Back-to-back filming for the final two फिल्में begins this fall and so far Pattinson only has a vague idea of what happens in the final book. A spoiler for Pattinson and other non-Twihards: it's the one where Bella (Kristen Stewart) gives birth to Edward's child in a bizarre sequence.

"I didn't intend to not read it until now," Pattinson कहा with a laugh. "I just heard brief rumors about what happens in the story, but I don't really know what happens at all."

As for "Eclipse," Pattinson says the third movie stands on its own और easily than the past two did and appeals to a broader crowd.

"I guess in terms of the violence and stuff.... that makes it a bit और grown-up," he कहा during a separate panel. "Also I think it's just a और accessible storyline. The sort of प्यार त्रिकोण, त्रिभुज thing -- being torn between two प्रेमी doesn't really happen when you're eight. So yeah, I guess it's a bit और grown-up in that respect."

Also somewhat और mature in this installment: the liplocking between the two main "Twilight" characters (a practice for which Pattinson and his co-star, Kristen Stewart, just won an एमटीवी Movie Award.)

"It was kind of the ultimate movie kiss," the 24-year-old heartthrob कहा at an "Eclipse" press junket. "We were on चोटी, शीर्ष of this mountain. There was a beautiful background. The camera is circling around us. And there we are kissing. It was good -- I'm glad Jacob had the opportunity to get his किस in there."
