Access Hollywood reports that super star Robert Pattinson's inspiration in his portrayal of Edward Cullen in the "Twilight Saga" was none other than the legendary James Dean.

”‘Rebel Without A Cause’ was a big influence on the first [‘Twilight’ film], It influenced the hairdo and stuff.” Pattinson, 23, told USA Today.

Pattinson talks about how even though Bella and Edwards relationship hits a rough patch in the upcoming 'New Moon' the story is still similar to that of Dean's most famous role.

In lots of ways, it has a very similar character arc: An everyday girl brings this relatively strange individual out of his slump."

Although surely everyone knows his name now, Pattinson says he used to get called by his characters name all the time.

“Right at the beginning, everyone just called me Edward,” he said. “I don’t really mind either way. There’s something about that character that, for some reason, has sparked an interest in massive degrees in so many different people.”

Robert seems to be getting more popular by the day, causing a huge paparazzi showing wherever he goes. Also causing the tabloids to plaster his face on their covers each week. The most tabloid buzz however is generated by his rumored relationship with his 'Twilight' co star, Kristen Stewart.

"I’m not entirely sure what it is,” he said of the fame that’s come with playing Edward. “I’ll probably realize afterward how I could have controlled it a little bit more. But I am still like a deer in headlights.”
