Pattinson finds ‘perfect man’ role in 'Twilight' embarrassing

New Delhi, May 18: Robert Pattinson finds it embarrassing to portray Edward Cullen in the hit film ‘Twilight’ because he feels that the character is nothing less than a perfect man, unlike him.

Despite an overwhelming fan following, the 22-year-old star said that he did not feel he was attractive enough to play the handsome vampire. The Brit further revealed that he felt like an "arrogant p***k" when he went for the audition, and could only imagine flawless High School Musical star Zac Efron doing the role, reports the China Daily. He said: "The Edward in the book is like an enigma of everything that`s perfect about a man. It`s like, `He walked into a room and it hurts to see how beautiful he is.` It`s just kind of embarrassing.” He added: “I just couldn`t figure out a way to act perfect. I felt like an idiot going into the audition - even having the gall to go in means you`re a bit of an arrogant p***k. Who could possibly play it apart from Zac Efron?" Pattinson also said that he had expected the initial rejection by the fans of the book series. He told Look magazine: "`Twilight` fans are very loyal to the book and to the author Stephanie Meyer. And I got a 100 per cent negative reception when I got cast. I kind of expected it, though." ANI
