Robert Pattinson has admitted that he is afraid of fans of his hit movie Twilight.

The 22-year-old actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the film, claimed that some over-enthusiastic sections of his fanbase have made him paranoid.

WENN quotes him as saying: "People ambush me in public and ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair. I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me AIDS and I don't want to get shot or stabbed. This is my life."

Pattinson added that the noise generated by screaming girls at the film's LA premiere was unbearable. "I thought, 'Oh my God. Are they going to blow the place up?'" he said.

Twilight opens on December 19.
