He’s beginning to do press for the upcoming film “Eclipse,” and Robert Pattinson paid a visit to the “Oprah Winfrey Show” this week along with Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.
When asked how he ditches his English accent for Edward Cullen’s American dialect, Rob explained it’s not hard because he used to aspire to be a rapper and listened to a lot of American rap music.
"I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14. I grew up watching American movies and stuff."
As for the overwhelming popularity that has come with the “Twilight” films, Pattinson explained, "It's a great position to be in because you can walk into a room and everybody's screaming. It's not really about you. So, it never really goes to your head and you can kind of participate in it. It's about the fans themselves. A lot of people, they just like doing Twilight-related things."
