Robert Pattinson: Watching myself onscreen is like self-flagellation

The Twilight star finds it painful to look at his performances

Robert Pattinson prefers not to see himself act

Robert Pattinson prefers not to study his performance after he has completed a movie.

The Twilight heartthrob played eccentric artist Salvador Dali in 2008 art-house film Little Ashes and found it painful to watch himself onscreen.

‘It's like self-flagellation, so why would I bother?' he says. 'And I didn't want to piss on anyone's grave. It was hard to watch my first scene in which I turn up in this funny little hat.'

Robert also hates doing phone interviews and amuses himself by telling journalists a few white lies.

He cheekily claims: ‘I do really intellectually highbrow stuff in my downtime. I read first edition Shakespeare. I write poetry. I'm trying to get my masters in neuroscience. That's the kind of guy I am... '

All amusing fibs, he admits to The Guardian Guide.

'Man, I don't even know what a masters is.'

Watch Robert Pattinson in the Twilight sequel New Moon in cinemas from 20 November.
