Hello, Robert Pattinson!

The hunky British actor — who swept the board at the recent MTV Awards — strikes a pose for the new issue of Interview magazine.

In the accompanying interview, the 23-year-old Twilight star — who shot to fame playing Edward Cullen in the vampire franchise — admits his fans can be fickle — because he used to get noticed for playing Cedric Diggory in two of the Harry Potter movies.

“It’s funny,” Pattinson says, “because teenage girls would say, ‘Oh, my God, you’re Cedric!’ It switched in a week to ‘Oh, my God, it’s Edward!’ Allegiances change so freely in the teen-girl world.”

Pattinson admits he isn’t happy that he’s being dubbed “the next Jude Law” in the British press. “I don’t really see the similarity,” he says.

Robert then went on to recall his time living in a “cool little ex-crack den” in London with best friend Tom Sturridge. “We spent the -better part of a year just getting drunk every night,” Pattinson admits. “I don’t know if that counts as ‘struggling.’”
