Robert Pattinson: Edward Is a Murderous Weirdo

The Twilight heartthrob not only doesn't understand his own appeal, but he doesn't think much of his vampy character, Edward Cullen, either

Apparently, the fanggirls have a death wish.

According to Robert Pattinson, there's not much to love about his Twilight saga character, Edward Cullen. In fact, the heartthrob thinks the vamp is more like a serial killer than a dreamboat.

"With virtually anyone, the nice guys always seem to finish last," he told British OK! "You always get weirdos like Edward who seem to attract women for some reason. If Edward wasn't a fictional character and you met him in reality, he is like one of those guys who would probably be an axe murderer or something."

Yikes. Team Jacob is starting to sound better by the minute.

"People just project their idea of my character on to me and they just seem to assume that I'm the same, when, in reality, I'm not," he said.

Phew! When he puts it that way, we'll take it as a good thing.
