robert-pattinson1NEW YORK - British actor Robert Pattinson, who is shooting for his new film “Remember Me” in New York, is said to be scared of the city’s women.

On-set sources have revealed that the actor is homesick for London.

“Robert is dying to get back home. He’s so over everything. He’s overwhelmed by all the girls - they terrify him,” the New York Daily News quoted an insider as saying.

“He says girls grab his neck and clothing all of the time, and he’s not used to that. Fans don’t do that to him in London. Everyone there is a little cooler about the fame thing, which is what he’s used to,” the insider added.

Clearly Pattinson, who shot to fame as teenage vampire Edward Cullen in “Twilight,” isn’t enjoying his heartthrob status or the female attention.

“Robert doesn’t understand why everyone is going so crazy over him,” the insider said.

“He’s embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He’s afraid that if he gives a hand, they’ll take the whole arm. He’s being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn’t even look up anymore,” the insider added. (ANI)
