In a new interview with Howard Stern, actor Robert Pattinson explains in greater detail why he almost got fired from 2008’s Twilight, an admission he first made in May to The New York Times.
“I always just thought at the time — I was, like, 21 — if you’re going into a relationship with someone, the way to make it really intense is if you can barely talk to each other, you can barely touch each other, and just be kind of incredibly serious all the time,” Pattinson said of his approach to the dynamic between his Edward Cullen and Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan. “I mean, it’s kind of like what teenage relationships are and that’s what makes it sort of feel like that. But, everyone kind of wanted it to be, like, No, they should be happy and having fun, that’s what people want, that’s the teen romance thing.”
