I’m too old and boring for stardom: Robert Pattinson

Actor dislikes the kind of attention he got in his ‘Twilight’ days

Long ago, Robert Pattinson put away his vampire teeth and red contact lenses. Now, he's hoping Twilight fans follow his cue.

As he prepares to suit up as the caped crusader in Matt Reeves' upcoming The Batman remake, Pattinson admitted he prays the attention does not mimic that of his days playing Edward Cullen.

"There's a part of me that just thinks it's impossible to be what happened with Twilight because it was so sudden," E! News quoted the British heartthrob as saying. "I'm hoping it won't be people hanging out outside my place. I just think I'm kind of boring and old now."



Since skyrocketing to superstardom with the Twilight franchise's first film back in 2008, Pattison has often struggled with fame. Today, the 33-year-old is still confused by the praise—and cannot believe he nabbed the Batman role.

"It's kind of insane," he admitted to Esquire UK. "I was so far away from ever thinking it was a realistic prospect. I literally do not understand how I've got it, at all. It's much more fun when you're an underdog. There's no expectation of you."
