However, the 28-year-old actor feels that the role of Edward Cullen in the hit vampire franchise that made him an international superstar came as a complete surprise, reported Variety.
"No one thought it was going to be a big deal. We thought it was going to be like 'Thirteen'. I couldn't do another 'Twilight' movie. I'm too old," Pattinson said.
'The Rover' star is due to appear in Brady Corbet's directorial debut, 'The Childhood of a Leader' and is in talks for a movie directed by Harmony Korine.
