I didn't realise just HOW big this Twilight stuff was until I read he'd been hit by a car the other day after being mobbed by fans. I know it wasn't a big hit but still.
I've read interviews with him recently aswell where it seems he really is not loving the attention. I know he chose to be an actor but he probably didn't choose to be quite so famous.

My sister had a far worse accident last week that wasn't as a result of running out into the road and she's not complained as Pattison has even though she's on crutches.
By some media reports it was his security who pulled him onto the road. I don't think he made much of it tbh as he continued filming straight after. Some of the fans have totally lost the plot and the production company seemingly did not have adequate security in place around the set
I wouldn't say it would have been "huge" when he auditioned for it, probably about a year before it came out. Vast majority of Twilight readers in this country started reading the Twilight saga after the film came out last year. I read them before I even knew a film was in the pipeline. I'd never heard of it, just seen the pretty looking books in WH Smith
It may have been "huge" in America, I really don't know, but you cannot suggest that Robert Pattinson should have seen this coming - being chased into the road by screaming young girls. Yes you hear about it in the media but I bet it doesn't feel like it would ever happen to you.
This is kind of the point I was trying to make, I've heard of fans acting a bit hysterical around their idols but it seems to have got totally out of hand with Pattinson. Hence why I'm beginning to feel bad for him. I know he auditioned etc but I bet he didn't expect some of the nuttiness!
Totally agree, he can't even have a personal life at the moment. Bet he will be glad to get back to Vancouver as he seemed to have a lot more privacy there and I don't think he'd get too much hassle back in England either. Just seems to be a US thing at the moment and gossip sites are only fanning the flames even more
Twilight was the best selling book series in the world before the movie even came out. Yes the mania is even worse now but to say it wasn't huge before is wrong. A quick glance at any fan site would have told him that he should've been the one running screaming. I don't feel sorry for him.
Where did Pattinson ever complained of it?
And Psy, I read Twilight before the movie and although it was very popular in certain circles, it was not at all mainstream, AT ALL, the book was already a best seller in the US and it was even dificuld to find it here. Now you see piles of them, there was a time that I had to go to several Waterstones because they sold the last copy available...
As twenty something year old man in London he had no way if even Knowing that Twilight existed or that there was hype about it, or that some TWATLIGHTERS were maniacs, he's been saying this over and over again and to tell the truth it's obvious. I would be surprised if he said he knew about it.
Agree with the bit in bold, that's what I was getting at.
I have to agree with viridiana. I had never heard of Twilight over here until I watched the film, neither had any of my friends or family. In interviews Rob has made it perfectly clear that he had no idea how big the books were which is perfectly likely I think. Lets face who would of expected this sort of craziness?:eek:
