Robert PattinsonTwilight star Robert Pattinson has said he’s looking forward to returning to London as soon as he’s done with his Twilight promotional obligations because he’s a bit overwhelmed by the attention he gets from fans.

The actor, who recently topped a poll for the sexiest male vampire for his role of Edward Cullen in the new film ahead of Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire, told Us Weekly recently that teenage girls haven’t stopped screaming at him during his stay in the US: “I think I’ll go back to London for a bit, and hide out.”

But he added that he thinks people might fancy his character from the cult teen novel more than him: “It’s just amusing now. People just project their idea of the character onto me, and assume I’m the same, when I’m just really not. It makes my life very easy.”

In related news, his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart has said she can see why he gets all the attention: “Oh, he’s like a little tortured artist. He’s British. He’s tall. He always looks like he’s thinking about something. And he’s quite witty. So he’s pretty sexy.”
