When he accepted the role of Edward Cullen, actor Robert Pattinson was whisked away to the world of movie stardom and sex symbols. Playing the beloved lead vampire of the popular Twilight Saga, he got way more than he had bargained for. He became the living, breathing, wincing, sighing fantasy of girls everywhere.

Towards the end of the 2009 San Diego Comic Con I was minding my own business taking a break from informing the crowds of the impending end of the world, when Pattinson himself approached me. I was shocked! Looking distraught, with those longing eyes and gorgeous pale skin, he apparently really needed to talk.

In my exclusive mini interview alone with Robert Pattinson in a hidden corner of Comic Con, he revealed to me one of his deepest fears. Pattinson is a fellow believer in the end of days, come December 21st, 2012. Swept up in the idea of money and fame he agreed to portray Edward in Twilight and any other subsequent films. At a rate of one film a year, the final movie in the Twilight Saga should be released in November of 2011, giving him only one year to escape the shadow of the vampire, and live a normal life.
