Robert Pattinson felt like he was doing a “striptease” while shooting ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’.

The British actor – who plays Edward Cullen in the vampire franchise which has taken the world by storm – felt completely overwhelmed when he had to film a scene where he strips off.

He told Parade.com: “I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease.

“But here’s the irony, it was also one of the moments where I’ve really felt closest to people’s attachment to Edward. There were so many extras in that scene who were ‘Twilight’ fans who had flown in just to be a part of it. It was quite uplifting and it was also very nerve-wracking.”

The 23-year-old star also said he felt a little resentful about how muscular Taylor Lautner managed to get for his role as the werewolf character Jacob Black in the film.

He said: “I didn't see Taylor until just a little bit before we started shooting. I had the same reaction as everybody else. Its like, 'Jeez, now I have to go to the gym.' ”
