Robert Pattinson couldn’t see what was so special about Twilight

Robert Pattinson couldn’t work out what was so special about the Twilight story.

When the Brit actor first read the script it didn’t appeal to him immediately. Now, he has found mega fame playing vampire Edward Cullen.

“When I first read [the Twilight script], it didn’t appeal to me,” Rob told the Italian Vanity Fair. “I couldn’t understand what was so special and why everybody was so into it.”

Robert recently bigged up his leading ladies.

“I like hot girls,” he laughed. “I like being in movies with lots of hot girls.”

Rob has shared the screen with the likes of Kristen Stewart, Reese Witherspoon, Uma Thurman and Emile de Ravin.

“They’re all very strong, actually,” he said of his former female co-stars. “I always end up being in movies with very experienced and passionate people. They’re never just flimsy floozies.”
