Robert Pattinson doesn`t want comparisons with Hugh Grant

London: `Twilight` star Robert Pattinson wants to play it safe by not signing up for any rom-com movies in the future because he fears he`ll be hailed as the next Hugh Grant. The British actor, who shot to international fame in the vampire franchise, has been offered a number of slushy roles, but has been unimpressed with every script he`s received so far.

The 23-year-old actor is worried that if he will sign romantic comedies, it will lead to drawing comparisons between him and fellow British heartthrob Grant, GMTV reported. "I`d love to (star in a romantic comedy) but they`re always just so rubbish. I mean It`s like... I`d absolutely love to do it but I`ve literally never read a good rom-com script...," Pattinson said. "I think it`s such a typical career choice for me as well to be honest - if you do a big franchise thing, especially for English guys, you know, (it`s natural to) try and do a Hugh Grant part or something, which I don`t think would be the best idea for me, mainly because it`s quite hard to be Hugh Grant," he added.
