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."
