Crazed Twilight fans 'slice open necks'
Twilight star Robert Pattinson says he worries about being
infected with HIV when adoring fans approach him with open wounds and ask him to
suck their blood.
Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the series, has
revealed he genuinely fears for his life when fans mob him in the street.
The 23-year-old actor laid out his concerns to promote a new
biography ahead of the next Twilight film,
New Moon, which
premieres this week.
"People ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair," Pattinson
told the
News Of The World.
"I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me HIV and I
don't want to get shot or stabbed."
Pattinson recalled one time where a group of girls approached him
bleeding from scratches they had just opened up on their necks.
"They were like, 'We did this for you' … I didn't know what to say
— 'Thank you, guys?'"
Pattinson said he feels vulnerable at big film events such as
premieres, where he could be the target of an overly obsessive fan or even a
terror attack.
He admits struggling to come to terms with fame since the release
of the first movie, which grossed more than $350m worldwide.
He has difficulty coping with so many people trying to "ambush"
him in public and at home.
He said he has come to accept the attention, but would be prepared
to give away acting away for his first passion — music — if the fans ever became
too much.
