The director has revealed that he thought it would be "creepy and inappropriate" to advise the on-screen couple during the filming of romantic scenes in New Moon.
Speaking to MTV, Weitz said: "Capturing those scenes is really a question of just allowing the actors to do their work. They know their characters. They know the tone they're supposed to hit.
"It's not like when they're about to kiss, I'm leaning in and saying, just off camera, 'Tender, tender!' or anything like that. I just let them do their thing. I think it would be creepy and inappropriate for me to advise them how to kiss one another or what it's like to be young in love. I'm 40 years old."
Pattinson and Stewart are rumoured to be dating in real life.
