Robert Pattison is clearly not letting criticism of the Twilight movies get him down.
After playing Cedric Diggory in the fourth Harry Potter movie, the British star shot to global fame in the late 2000s when he was cast as Edward Cullen in the teen romance series.
However, while the Twilight series was a box office hit, and garnered a loyal army of devoted fans, it’s fair to say that not everyone was such a big fan at the time, with Rob admitting he still deals with haters of the franchise two decades on.
“I love that people keep telling me, ’Man, Twilight ruined the vampire genre,” he recently told GQ Spain, in an interview translated by Variety.
He apparently responded: “Are you still stuck on that shit? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It’s crazy.”
