Heartthrob Robert Pattinson said it felt “more natural” to kiss his co-star Kristen Stewart in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The hunky actor said the smooching scenes were easier in the third installment of the franchise because his vampire character Edward Cullen knows he will not “kill” Bella Swan, played by Kristen, by locking lips with her.
“Kissing felt a little bit more natural in Eclipse, even if there was plenty of it,” Rob told Parade magazine. “In New Moon and Twilight it was always like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna kill you if I kiss you,’ or something. It was always kind of odd. But, in this one, they both understand their situation a lot more, which makes it easier. It’s the first time Kristen and I have been able to just act like a normal couple.”
The 24-year-old actor, however, refused to confirm whether it was his rumored real-life romance with Kristen, 20, that made their love scenes easier. “I guess people like stories, that’s my basic conclusion,” he said. They just want everything in our lives to be like Twilight. The truth is… that I wish I had a few more hours of sleep today so I could think of a better answer. I’m always so exhausted all the time. Lack of sleep is like taking a Valium.”
