Pattinson: 'I always mess up relationships'

Robert Pattinson has admitted that he is "always messing up" in relationships.

The 23-year-old actor, who is rumoured to be dating Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, has said that he believes most guys are compelled to ruin relationships, reports STV.

Pattinson said: "With New Moon I felt really relaxed and found it easy to get back into it. I think it’s because I always connected more to the second book, than the first.

"I just understood the story and his motivations a lot more, because there are all these emotions in it that I can relate to in my own life, like when he feels himself making the wrong decision about leaving Bella behind, but he does it anyway."

He added: "I think you do that a lot, as a guy, in relationships. It’s like you’re compelled to mess it up.

"I can understand him doing that, because I’m always messing up. It’s real life - it’s what happens!"
