Being the object of thousands of women's affection, the leading man in one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and the more ebullient half of a very famous couple is taxing. So taxing that maybe Robert Pattinson is, dare we say, a little over it. And we can't even fault him for it.
"He is an actor in a film that became much more than he expected. His life is no longer his own simply because of a job he took. Every aspect of his life is under scrutiny, and his fans are ravenous. They want to know everything about him. He has zero privacy and as with most suddenly famous actors, fame is not what he expected," explains psych expert and 'Cult of Celebrity' author Cooper Lawrence. "Fame is its own life and it has nothing to do with acting. Not everyone can or should handle it. Some people want to live a private life too. He doesn't get to."
