Rob realizes why he wouldn't make a good boyfriend.

Rob recently spoke to UK's Look Magazine; here's a super swoony excerpt from the article titled "My Love Life's a Mess":


...How does it feel to be a heart-throb?
Scary, because you women are notoriously flippant in your affection for celebs! [Laughs] I got a 100 percent negative reaction when I got cast. I kind of expected it though.

Really? Because of your looks?
The Edward in the book is like an enigma of everything that's perfect about a man. It's like "He walked in to a room and it hurts to see how beautiful he is." It's just kind of embarrassing. I just couldn't figure out a way to act perfect. I felt like an idiot going to the audition - even having the gall to go in means you're a bit of an arrogant prick. Who could possibly play it apart from Zach Efron? [Laughs]

It must be your chat-up lines, Rob:
Whenever I like someone, subconsciously I think, "Don't like me. I'm a dick." Oh my God! I just realised I've said why I wouldn't be a good boyfriend!

How are the fans different to when you played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter?
I mean, Harry Potter, people liked the characters, but they don't want to sleep with them. And I guess it kind of adds a different intensity to it, which I still haven't got my head around.
