Robert Pattinson wasted no time hitting the parties at the Cannes Film Festiva, looking dapper in his suit after arriving yesterday. The British actor, who shot to heartthrob status last fall as the young stud bloodsucker in the hit vampire romance “Twilight,” stopped by Cannes to talk up the sequel and catch a movie or two. Pattinson said he’s still getting used to the fact that people know him wherever he goes. It is still strange,” Pattinson said Tuesday to the Huffington Post. “I just don’t get the immediate-recognition thing. I was at the Frankfurt airport yesterday, and people just immediately know who you are. It’s never, ‘Are you …?’ It’s just like, ‘Can I have a photo?’” 

The producers hired more guards than on “Twilight” to keep onlookers at bay for the “New Moon” shoot, but Pattinson said it turned out to be unnecessary.”They had tons of security, but then at the end of the day actually, hardly anyone knew where we were shooting,” Pattinson said. “I’m walking around with, like, three guys following me around all the time, and no one ever turned up. There was never any infiltrators.”  Huffingtonpost.com
