star Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, was interviewed by STV movie guru Grant Lauchlan just as the hype surrounding the latest blockbuster in the
Twilightsaga reached fever pitch.
The star has been a mainstay of tabloid headlines since first appearing in
Twilight, but seemed remarkably unfazed while interviewed by Grant.
Rob talked about a number of subjects, including what his family thinks of his newfound stardom, and how co-star Taylor Lautner is giving him a run for his money.
He also spoke of the fan adulation that’s greeted him, and explained what his strangest experience yet was: “A bit of blood-letting a while ago, girls coming up having freshly cut themselves, saying ‘I’ve literally got blood dripping and I want you to suck it.’
“It’s happened a few times,” he added. “I think people are getting a little bit confused about the whole story that you’ve got seven-year-old girls asking for you to kill them, and so it was like ‘I just want to die with you.’ It’s like, um, yeah, call the publicity department!”
Not only that, but Rob went into greater detail about the journey of his character Edward Cullen in
New Moon, explained the dividing line between the vampire acting out of selflessness for Bella Swan - or just thinking about himself.
And finally Rob also found the time to answer some fan questions - and say hello to some very special STV viewers!
