Rob Pattinson is Afraid of Fighting

Twilight actor Robert Pattinson avoids confrontation at all costs - because he fears an ugly fist-fight could cost him his good looks.

The British star, who shot to fame as vampire Edward Cullen in the blood-sucker franchise, admits he always steps back when he senses trouble - because a punch to the face could end his career as a heart-throb.

He tells Britain's New magazine, "I'm terrified about getting into fights, because it's like, 'Hey, I'm an actor - don't touch the face!'"
