Robert Pattinson thinks he was not good enough to play “Edward Cullen”

Robert Pattinson finds it embarrassing to portray Edward Cullen in the hit film ‘Twilight’ because he feels that the character is nothing less than a perfect man, unlike him.
Despite an overwhelming fan following, the 22-year-old star said that he did not feel he was attractive enough to play the handsome vampire.
The Brit further revealed that he felt like an “arrogant p***k” when he went for the audition, and could only imagine flawless High School Musical star Zac Efron doing the role, reports the China Daily.
He said: “The Edward in the book is like an enigma of everything that’s perfect about a man. It’s like, ‘He walked into a room and it hurts to see how beautiful he is.’ It’s just kind of embarrassing.”
He added: “I just couldn’t figure out a way to act perfect. I felt like an idiot going into the audition – even having the gall to go in means you’re a bit of an arrogant p***k. Who could possibly play it apart from Zac Efron?”
Pattinson also said that he had expected the initial rejection by the fans of the book series.
He told Look magazine: “‘Twilight’ fans are very loyal to the book and to the author Stephanie Meyer. And I got a 100 per cent negative reception when I got cast. I kind of expected it, though.” (ANI)
