Robert Pattinson admits he’s still getting used to the fact that people know him wherever he goes.

The British actor — who shot to fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight — is currently in Cannes, France, talking up the vampire franchise’s sequel New Moon.

And Pattinson, 23, says he’s still getting to grips with his superstar status.

“It is still strange,” he dished.  “I just don’t get the immediate-recognition thing. I was at the Frankfurt airport yesterday, and people just immediately know who you are. It’s never, ‘Are you …?’ It’s just like, ‘Can I have a photo?’”

Pattinson also discussed the security arrangements on the Vancouver, Canada, set of New Moon. “They had tons of security, but then at the end of the day actually, hardly anyone knew where we were shooting,” he said. “I’m walking around with, like, three guys following me around all the time, and no one ever turned up. There was never any infiltrators.”
