ROBERT Pattinson admits he’s finally learning how to deal with the paparazzi.

The British actor — who shot to fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie franchise — says he got a lesson in anger management while filming new movie Remember Me in New York.

“While we were filming, one of the security guys saw me getting more and more upset with the paparazzi guys,” Rob told Parade magazine. “He just sort of came up and was like, ‘Imagine going out there and trying to hit one of them while, let’s say, 40 cameras are clicking away.’

“That was enough to kind of calm my frustration. But, at the end of the day, you can’t say, ‘I’m not doing it until these people go away.’ You have to keep acting. So it was definitely way more intense than any of the Twilight films.

“It ended up being like more of a circus than I thought it was going to be. At the beginning, it was terrible. Then, about halfway through, I just suddenly had an epiphany about it. I don’t know what happened, but I know it’s just fine. I guess it’s just learning how to sort of block things out. It’s like you’ve just got to be more disciplined about it.”

Rob, 23, also revealed how he’s dealing with being an overnight success.

“I think you really cause yourself a lot of problems if you start fighting against it,” he said. “There’s nothing you can do. I mean, there’s no mysticism to it. People recognize you and they want to talk to you, or want to see you.

“My trick is not to see them as a crowd. If you break down every crowd into individuals, then it’s more manageable. It’s just when you start seeing these huge masses of people screaming at you that you start going crazy. So I try to focus on a few faces and not the mass.”
