Robert Pattinson: 'I'm Not Dating Anyone'
By TheImproper.com
Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson has been keeping a low profile since he jetted to London Dec. 22 to celebrate the Christmas holidays with his family.
Pattinson, 22, has not been spotted out (at least by paparazzi) in either London or Los Angeles since then, but the media fascination with him has only intensified since Twilight's Nov. 21 U.S. debut.
Fortunately, Rob has learned a thing or two about not letting the white-hot media glare get to him. In 2005, Pattinson starred as Cedric Diggory in the blockbuster fantasy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Watching how well the film's stars, Daniel Radcliffe, 19, Rupert Grint, 20, and Emma Watson, 18, handle overnight fame and fan adoration has given Rob some perspective.
"The Harry Potter people...are still very, very normal and sane," says Pattinson. "I think it's because they just ignored the surrealness of their lives from an outside perspective and live their lives normally. They didn't treat anyone any differently and didn't treat themselves differently. And they've ended up being completely fine."
However, it bears noting that the fan hysteria and media spectacle surrounding the young Harry Potter stars wasn't nearly as overwhelming, nor were any of them thrust into overnight worldwide heartthrob status as Pattinson has been.

But the unattached Rob maintains a proper perspective on all the adoration. "I'm not dating anyone," he says. "I don't avoid it, but it's weird just knowing that people will talk about stuff."
The reserved and private Rob is also careful to avoid coming off as a womanizer simply for being friendly. He says: "If you try and chat people up, everyone's like, ‘You're just an actor. You probably go around sleeping with everybody.’ So it kind of has the converse effect of what you would have thought."
For the moment, the British hunk has a lot on his plate: In March, he will start shooting New Moon, the sequel to Twilight, in Vancouver and immediately afterward will film the franchise's third installment, Eclipse (2010.)
Separately, Rob has two other movies coming out in 2009. In Little Ashes, which hits theaters March 27, Pattinson portrays the enigmatic artist Salvador Dalí. And in April, Rob can be seen in Summer House, where he plays a boy (Richard) who follows his girlfriend Jane to France for the summer.
New Moon hits theaters in November, 2009.
