KRISTEN Stewart says she’s more athletic than her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson.

The 19-year-old actress says Rob is quite unfit — and he can’t run!

“I’m definitely claiming that one,” Kristen said when asked by Harper’s Bazaar magazine who’s fittest out of her and R-Patz. “Rob can barely jump rope. I call him Flippy because when he does his stunt rehearsals, he flips around [makes a gesture like a penguin]. And, God, when he tries to run …”

And Pattinson agrees!

“Kristen,” he said. “You notice it in the film; she looks so much more athletic than I do. And I’m supposed to be the superhero.”

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that the media and the fans’ obsession with Robsten has prevented the pair from having a proper, romantic relationship.

“Honestly, it makes it very hard for them to even be friends,” a source told theNew York Daily News. “Maybe there could have been something between them, but it seems like all of the pressure surrounding their relationship has really killed it.”

In fact Rob and Kristen are so keen to dispel the romance rumors, “they’ve requested to do press separately for Twilight sequel New Moon,” the source adds. “They really are good friends — and that’s all — but they want to avoid being seen together. Any time they’re photographed in the same place, the rumor mill just starts all over again, and that makes the paparazzi hound them even more.

“They requested to do things apart so the scrutiny around them will be a little less intense.”

“Rob and Kristen didn’t want to even be in a position where people would assume something.”
