Robert Pattinson reveals Twilight message

6 hours ago

Robert Pattinson believes the 'Twilight' movies are a metaphor for sexual abstinence. The 23-year-old star - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the saga - is unable to have a sexual relationship with a human because he fears that if he goes further than a kiss, his emotions and the power of his body may injure his beloved. But the British actor thinks the abstinence makes the films even sexier, because the central characters are unable to do anything about their lust for one another. He said: "The success of the 'Twilight' books comes from the fact that fans can lust after Edward and yet, certainly in the first book, there's no actual sexual contact between him and the series »

Scarlett Johansson was "apprehensive" about doing charity work in Africa.

Suddenly you're not aware of how you're feeling, how you're going to look. If you let your guard down and stop being aware of yourself, you're able to really connect with people." During her work »
