Robert Pattinson wants fans to forget his 'Twilight' avatar and focus on new ones.
As the actor is all prepped up as the caped crusader in Matt Reeves' upcoming 'The Batman' remake, he admitted that he wishes people not to focus on his old Edward Cullen character.
"There's a part of me that just thinks it's impossible to be what happened with Twilight because it was so sudden," Pattinson said in a teaser for his upcoming Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist interview.
"I'm hoping it won't be people hanging out outside my place. I just think I'm kind of boring and old now," he added reported E! News.
Besides having immense stardom with his first film, the actor feels he "needs to prove something".
"I definitely feel like I need to prove something and I'm not entirely sure what it is," he previously mused to The Guardian. "So that's probably what my turmoil is."
