The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Kirsten Prout has recalled the amount of paparazzi interest during the movie's shoot in Vancouver.

The actress, who plays Lucy in the vampire sequel, told IESB that she was amazed by the number of photographers surrounding the set.

"The first day that Jackson [Rathbone] came into work, he almost tripped on the stairs, coming out of his house, because there were so many photographers that he couldn't even see," she explained.

"The circus around all the trailers and everything was crazy. They had giant black dividers to keep paparazzi out. On the first day, they took down all the signage and blocked everything out. All the actors had to wear bathrobes to cover their wardrobe in between scenes. It was really intense."

She added: "They were hiding everywhere. There were hundreds, just waiting. It's part of the whole phenomenon of Twilight. You have to just take it as it comes because it's just nuts."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse arrives in cinemas this July.
