Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson graces the cover of the latest issue of the British AnOther Man Magazine (October 2009). The 23 year-old actor confessed to be surprised by the success of the Twilight Saga but wants to become to be respect by the public as a serious actor.

Robert revealed, “It’s strange because even though the figures show that the books were successful and sold millions of copies, you couldn’t even buy them in London. I tried a couple of bookshops and they weren’t available. Hardly anyone I knew had read them apart from one girl, a friend of my sister. I had no idea at all. I’d seen Kristen Stewart in ‘Into the Wild‘ and some of the director Catherine Hardwicke’s other films, and that’s all I thought it was, something really small.”

Robert wants to be taken seriously and become a real good solid actor. He said, “Annoyingly, there are so few parts I feel I can add anything to, or that I want to do. I don’t want to be an actor for the sake of it. I don’t find any particular pleasure in being an attention-seeker.”
