Pattinson: 'I'm a paranoid wreck'

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has admitted that he has turned into a "paranoid wreck" following the worldwide success of the hit movie.

The actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the saga, told Entertainment Tonight that he was still coming to terms with his new-found fame.

"I’m always really worried about ruining [friends'] lives. Especially with people that aren’t famous. It’s such a massive change. I’m kind of a paranoid wreck. I’ve eaten a lot of room service," Reuters quotes him as saying.

"Now it’s funny, you can’t even get through to people on the phone. They won’t even let you ring people up. I can’t even ring down to reception and say let [visitors] up. I have to literally go down and carry them."

Production on New Moon, the second instalment in the Twilight franchise, began last month. It is scheduled to hit cinemas in November.
