Robert Pattinson Reveals Reason for Accepting 'Twilight' Role


What was the biggest draw for Robert Pattinson to take on the role as the dreamy vampire Edward Cullen in 'Twilight?'

Despite his new-found stature as a heartthrob, Robert was initially hesitant about playing the role of Edward until he found out his love interest and co-star would be Kristen Stewart, he tells Premiere.com.

"When I read the book, and there are these moony descriptions of Edward as this God-like figure, I thought there was no way I could play him, really," Robert said. "But when I got into the room with Kristen, there was just certain chemistry."

"She's basically the reason I did the movie," Robert adds.

The 22-year-old actor tells Premiere he was a fan of Kristen's before he had the opportunity to work with her, adding: "She's really the best actress of her generation."

Check out the on-screen chemistry between Robert and Kristen when 'Twilight' hits theaters Nov. 21.
