Twilight made him an international movie star, but Robert Pattinson doesn’t believe his own hype.

Speaking to The Herald Scotland Sunday, the 25-year-old actor opened up about how the hit vampire franchise changed the way he looks at moviemaking.

“Doing something like Twilight opens doors and it closes others. You can say, ‘Oh if I was still unknown, then no one would judge me,’” Pattinson said. “But at the same time, nobody would give a sh-t either. It’s a weird little balance.”

Pattinson will attempt to distance himself from the movies that made him famous in the upcoming period film Bel Ami, costarring Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Edward played the piano in ‘Twilight’ and now he’s about to do it again! Do you think the duet will be emotional?

Robert Pattinson is about to hit the keys again! The 25-year-old actor stars in next year’s Breaking Dawn Part 2 and he will be performing a duet with his half-vampire daughter Renesmee! We literally can’t wait — Rob is such a great musician.

Carter Burwell, the composer from Twilight and Breaking Dawn Part 1, spoke about what it was like to write the father/daughter duet!

“Generally, I don’t actually write anything until a film has actually been shot,” he tells The Sag Harbor Express. “But, there are some exceptions. In the movie I’m working on right now, which is Breaking Dawn: Part II, they needed Rob Pattinson and the actress who plays his daughter to play piano onscreen. I had to write this duet before they shot the film so they could actually learn the parts. Rob is a musician, so he prides himself on working out the fingering for these correctly.”

Rob recorded two songs on the Twilight soundtrack: “Never Think” and “Let Me Sign” — written by his buds Marcus Foster and Bobby Long.

Kristen Stewart bought Rob two guitars for Christmas and we hope it’s so he can record his own album!

Now onto photos. I’ve added 60 HQ photos of Robert Pattinson (some picture with the amazing Betty White) and Ashley Greene.

Edward is famously chivalrous and protective of true love Bella in the vampire franchise – and it would seem some of his romantic ideals have been rubbing off on Pattinson.

In an interview with Berlingske TV, the British heartthrob said he would be willing to die for true love, saying he believes anyone else truly in love would do the same.

‘If you’re in love with anyone, I think the majority of people would say, “If I have to die for this person, I will.” I mean, you don’t really love someone if you’re like, “No. Just let them die”,’ Pattinson said.

The actor, who is dating on-screen love Kristen Stewart in real life, also went on to defend Edward’s old fashioned ideals, saying he agrees with his attitude of simply wanting to marry the woman he loves.

‘Everyone is always telling me that Edward is kind of old-fashioned, but I always see him as fairly normal. I mean, he just knows what he wants,’ he added.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 sees Edward and Bella tying the knot, before heading off on a steamy honeymoon.

Pattinson said: ‘We shot a bunch of sex scenes in a row just filming our faces having orgasms,’ describing it as the ‘most embarrassing thing I’ve ever had to do’.

A human girl in love with a vampire has become one of the most common concepts in pop culture. But Robert Pattinson dismisses vampire TV shows such as “True Blood” and “The Vampire Diaries” as “Twilight” copycats.

“It’s like that Coke versus Pepsi thing, and how Coke just said ‘There’s a reason everyone compares themselves to us,’” he said, according to Web site Hollywood Life. “‘Twilight’ was the original and everybody’s trying to copy it. They’re all just trying to jump aboard the ‘Twilight’ train.”

The third film in the “Twilight saga,” “Breaking Dawn Part 1″ opened last week and has already grossed more than $222 million. Meanwhile, stars Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who are a couple offscreen as well as on, spent some time together in London this week. The two were spotted at a Marcus Foster concert and were reported by witnesses to have their arms around each other, swaying to the music.

Stewart starred in pal Foster’s music video, “I Was Broken,” earlier this year. She is currently in the UK filming her new movie, “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

One of the most anticipated scenes in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1? The long awaited wedding between Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart). And considering how many people went to see the movie in theaters this weekend, plenty of people have now gotten to see the action for themselves. (But for formality’s sake, consider this your official SPOILER ALERT.)

We’ve already told you about why the Iron& Wine song that plays during the ceremony held special significance for some of the cast, but Stewart and Pattinson also tell EW about some of the things audiences didn’t get to see. For example, the moment when Pattinson channeled another actor while filming the speech he gives at the wedding to his new bride. “No one was there really,” he says. “Just a bunch of extras. And for one of the takes, I went into a total Christopher Walken impression. I don’t know why. [Director] Bill [Condon] said, ‘What just happened? Why are you suddenly playing this like Christopher Walken?’ And I just couldn’t get out of it. It’s one of the weirdest things that’s ever happened to me.” He laughs. “I wish it happened more often.”
