Kristen Stewart has shot down claims she is dating her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson – insisting they are just good friends.

The duo play lovers in the movies based on the books by author Stephenie Meyer.

But Stewart is adamant her love for Pattinson – who made his Oscar debut Sunday, presenting a montage of the year’s romantic films alongside Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried – ends when the cameras stop rolling.

She tells Nylon magazine in its March issue, “Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close.

“If we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him. And it’s like, I know this guy really [expletive] well.

“It’s only natural that we’re sort of leaning on each other, because we’re put in the most … psychotic situations.”

Stewart has been dating actor Michael Angarano since 2006.

Kristen and Robert, as well as the newly-buff Taylor Lautner, will reprise their roles in Twilight sequel New Moon, which begins filming in March and is set to open on November 20, 2009. The third film in the series, Eclipse, will arrive June 30, 2010.
