Pattinson Embarrassed By Pap Pics

Poor Robert. Poor hot, hot Robert.

Robert Pattinson hates going out in public - because he gets "embarrassed" when he's captured by the paparazzi.

The 22-year-old British actor became a household name after playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie series.

But Pattinson admits he's still struggling to come to terms with certain aspects his new-found fame.

He says, "I don’t like going outside anymore.

"It's so embarrassing to see pictures of yourself at the airport when you look terrible.

"Even though it sounds odd, I like self confidence. What's strange is that I mostly like strong girls, but with them, I have the most problems."

Hunky Robert will once again star alongside Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner for Twilight sequel New Moon, which has a tentative release date of November 20, 2009.

But there's one aspect of reprising his role he's dreading.

"Wearing [amber] contact lenses is the most terrible thing I had to endure to be Edward," he explains. "I have very sensitive eyes and it was a daily torture to put those lenses on every morning. I was waking up at 4 a.m. to suffer this living death. It was like having sand in my eyes all day long."
