Rob Pattinson Fears for His Life

Twilight star Robert Pattinson fears for his life after shooting to fame with the hit film - because he worries fans will take the movie's dark storyline too far.

The British actor plays vampire Edward Cullen in the new movie and has been besieged by teenagers asking him to bite their necks.

And Pattinson is worried that some fans of the cult picture will confuse fiction with reality and try to harm him.

He says, "People ambush me in public and ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair. I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me Aids and I don't want to get shot or stabbed. This is my life."

Pattinson admits that his fears reached new heights following the film's Los Angeles premiere last month - because of the deafening noise of all the screaming girls.

He adds, "I thought, 'Oh my God. Are they going to blow the place up?'"
