How Twilight changed Rob's life

“Twilight” Robert Pattinson says his sudden rise to fame was just that — too sudden — turning it into a “bizarre” experience that has had more than a few negative consequences. In “New Moon,” he is a much less visible presence, turning over star duties to Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, the shape-shifting werewolf. Jacob becomes a love interest of Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella Swan.
Rob’s character, Edward Cullen is a secondary to the plot, appearing mainly in Bella’s visions. Rob has no regrets about that.
To the contrary, he relished taking a back seat, because it took some of the pressure from “Twilight” off of him and redirected to Taylor, who will be starring in an upcoming show “Saturday Night Live” ahead of Rob, who reportedly turned it down.
Since “Twilight” debuted in 2008 and became an international phenomenon, that pressure has been unrelenting, he says in a new interview in the Italian edition of Vanity Fair magazine.
“It’s bizarre becoming famous in this way. Believe me. it’s something that I never wished,” he says, according a translation of the article from Italian to English.
Rob says he is looking forward to getting some normalcy back in is life, but sadly it won’t be focused as much on music, one of his first loves.
“I was in my first band when I was 15. Now I play piano and guitar, sometimes, but only for myself. I can’t do concerts [or have a serious music career] because I will always be known as ‘the guy from ‘Twilight’ who wants to be a musician.’”
And, he plans to swear off girls for a while because he knows it would be difficult to have a relationship under the current circumstances.
For one, he says he will constantly have a security detail in tow for the foreseeable future, something he regrets, but knows he can’t do without.
“It’s totally crazy, I know, but I am getting use at it. It’s only because, when I’m without my bodyguard, I am afraid: it is nearly impossible even to come out from a restaurant and get in a car,” he says.
But he draws the line on his entourage there. “I have no personal press agent and I want to avoid this,” he says.
“I clearly don’t want my life to become a reality show. In fact, if I see a photographer I go the other way. I give only a few interviews and I don’t do public appearances, if it is not necessary to promote a movie. I don’t want people to get tired of my face.”
Don’t worry Rob, that’s one thing you probably won’t have a problem with — for better or worse.
