Robert Pattinson has told The Sun that he does not mind getting naked and stated that it is ‘more difficult for actresses’.

In an interview that should delight his many female fans the 26-year-old Twilight star says; “I don’t really have a problem with those scenes or nudity in general. I think it’s more complicated for actresses who are worried about how those scenes can be exploited by the media and how naked photos are constantly getting posted on the internet.”

Pattinson was talking about his role in Cosmopolis. The film is directed by David Cronenberg.

He says: “The sex scenes with Patricia [Patricia McKenzie] were more difficult.

“It was kind of strange but in the script we were supposed to climax at the beginning of the scene then have this discussion afterwards.

“But David had the brilliant and inspired idea to have us talk while we were having sex.”

He also said that he was grateful to be offered the role and his hopes of breaking away from the Twilight franchise.

He says: “When you’re part of an immensely popular film franchise like Twilight, it tends to overwhelm anything else you’re doing while those films are still part of the public consciousness.

“Now at least a film like The Hunger Games is gaining a lot of attention. That’s a good thing for me because I can break free from a certain perception that’s been formed about me through my character in Twilight.

“It’s ironic but I was offered the part in Cosmopolis on the last day of shooting on Breaking Dawn. It was an incredible feeling to be getting a call from David Cronenberg at that particular moment.

“It also reminds me that I should be very grateful for what the Twilight films have done for me.”

He also says; “It’s up to you to make the most out of your life.” Obviously a wise man.
