Despite his superstar status worldwide, Robert Pattinson had to take his lumps like a kid like the rest of us.

The “Twilight” stud told reporters he used to be the target of aggression more than a bully. “I bean for a lot of people when I was younger”.

He continued, “I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.”

As for his rapport with the ladies, Rob lamented, “I don’t even remember the last time I asked someone out on a date. Like, just went up to them and that’s the first thing I did… I tend to hold back.”
