Speaking to MTV News, the Twilight star admitted that walking the red carpet was one of the "weirdest" moments of his life.
"When [the Academy] first told us about [my invitation to present an award], I was like, 'No, no, no. You're joking!" he explained.
"[I] thought I was going to have to do something really stupid, like get gunged!"
The British actor took to the stage alongside Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried on Sunday night to introduce a montage of romantic moments from 2008 films.
His Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart was rumoured to have declined the opportunity to present, with her father telling Access Hollywood that she will accept the honour when she has made "a great movie, not just one that makes a lot of money".
