TWILIGHT hunk Robert Pattinson finds it “weird” that his fans go “completely nuts” when they meet him.

The British actor — who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the smash hit movie franchise — says he still can’t believe he’s become one of Hollywood’s hottest young stars.

“Every time I go out, no matter where I am, people just go completely nuts! It’s unreal,” Pattinson says. “When I started doing this, I knew the books were big in America but it keeps surprising me how much bigger everything’s getting!

“Every time I see physical manifestations of it, like fans going wild, my brain can’t process it, because it’s just too weird.

“One of the weirdest days was when we started shooting New Moon at this high school, in Canada. The school was still open, so there were kids everywhere.

“We did this scene, where we were just walking around the corridors but, after every take, all the kids started applauding. It was the same whenever a class came out after a lesson: they’d all clap. That was really bizarre – one of the strangest days ever.”

Pattinson — who is dating his costar Kristen Stewart — recently admitted that he often messes up his relationships.

“With New Moon I felt really relaxed and found it easy to get back into it,” he said. “I think it’s because I always connected more to the second book, than the first. I just understood the story and his motivations a lot more, because there are all these emotions in it that I can relate to in my own life, like when he feels himself making the wrong decision about leaving Bella behind, but he does it anyway.

“I think you do that a lot, as a guy, in relationships. It’s like you’re compelled to mess it up.

“I can understand him doing that, because I’m always messing up. It’s real life — it’s what happens!”
