Here’s what I don’t get: Presumably, the fans that feel passionately enough about Pattinson to tail him as he shoots Remember Me in Manhattan, would also have read his GQ cover story, in which he said his first thought when he sees a crowd is someone could very easily stab me. Why would you want to be one of the people who scares him? Or is that just the out-of-touch reasoning of a woman who shadowed her first and last celebrity in 1996? (For the record: I stayed on the opposite sidewalk of Alan Rickman as I followed him to a 7-Eleven in London. I did not go in after him in or wait for him to exit. Me and the detergent I was carrying continued on our way to the laundromat.)
You know I read the interview he did with GQ and thought it was funny and real and it made me officially interested enough in him that in the event I saw him on the street I may try to talk to him I would not want to be part of a crush of people trying to run him into the street though.
Wow, this really has to stop. This is like Beatle/boy band mania all over again! Let the poor man be! If these crazed fans end up hurting him, then he won’t be able to finish the Twilight movies. Maybe they should think about that before they force him into oncoming traffic.
Pattinson is the Beatles for the 21st century. Get that album out Rob. I want to hear it asap.
Poor guy. Whether or not you like him, you’ve got to feel sorry for him. He doesn’t appear to be seeking this attention and yet he can’t escape it.

Why the hell are these teenage girls allowed to get so close to Rob. I understand that due to his fame and good lucks he is bound to get female attention, but for gods sake, it dosent matter how famous you are, the consequence of that should not be that you are worried for your own safety. You wouldn’t accept that as a ‘normal’ person so why should he be any different and have to be exposed to this daily? I have the same sort of paranoia as Rob (although i havent been mobbed by hundreds of hormone enraged teenage girls) however that feeling of being so exposed isnt nice. So please people for the sake of Rob’s sanity. Admire Him From A Distance. LIKE I DO.
Wow. Whoa. Sound likes he could of easily gotten killed. Perhaps his security team needs to make some very significant changes to protect him when he is out in the streets better, Much better. He is probably freaking out.
I feel for his parents also. They are probably worried what if they lose their son to this craziness.
I think to ask the fans to stop is fruitless. He has portrayed Edward Cullen and for some crazy girls out there to just get even a glimpse of him and pass up that chance is probably just not going to happen, unfortunately.
I so hope he stays safe.
Maybe his security will see how important it is to make sure they have him surrounded completely. He’ll probably have to listen to his security like the president of the United States, actually it seems even worse. It really sounds like some of these fans have a hard time controlling themselves around him. I would hate to be a in relationship with someone with his situation.
Sounds like he panicked.
I am 31, but when I was younger,I had my share of obsessive crushes,such as New Kids on the Block. I have NEVER understood this mentality. If you are a fan of someone, why would you want to put them in a situation where they could get hurt? This could have been so much worse, he could have been seriously injured or killed!I’m not a fan of Pattinson’s, but it seems to me that putting him in life-threatening situations is a crappy way to tell him how much he means to you!
Poor guy. No one deserves that headache. Frankly I get the impression, from some interviews of his that I’ve read, if he could go back in time, he would’ve ran like hell from Twilight. It’s pretty obvious that he has disdain for the material (I admire him for being honest about it; he could’ve lied and talked about how awesome it was). He could be another up-and-coming actor/musician instead of some idiot teenage girl magnet. Sorry, Rob.
“Pattinson is the Beatles for the 21st century.”
You should be euthanized.
Alley, I just don’t think the fans will change. I think that’s an energy that will continue. It sounds like changes needs to be made within his security team and him.
The fans will go to desperate measures and not change, I think that’s kind of cut and dried.
The energy needs to be spent on his security not on telling the fans what to do. It’s like telling sharks to stop feeding when they are in a frenzy.
You can talk all you want but it’s like talking to a wall.
He probably learned a lot from this incident and hopefully his hip is not too badly bruised if any and no fractured bones. I seems time to revaluate for his security team. To make some changes to protect him better from crazed fans.
Let’s hope they do protect him better in the future. He can’t do it himself and tell the girls to stop or walk fast from them or even run from them. It probably just stirs the frenzy more. That kind of energy is almost impossible to stop.
I’ll send a prayer for him.
Don’t harm Rob, he’s too hot! It’s mob mentality…can get some fairly sane people all wrapped up, esp. teen girls. That said, they def need to take it down a notch. What’s the point of trying to get close to him when you are in a huge crowd of similarly obsessed girls anyway? So you graze his elbow or something equally innane, then what? Chasing him into a busy New York intersection though is no bueno…but this will pass. All the new, hot guys go through this phase with the mobs of teen girls…let’s just not kill him before he can move on.
This is crap,
He was not grazed or anything the taxi stopped before being hit,
But still LEAVE HIM ALONE!
He is human fgs.
Im sure you would hate people following you around the place.
Laws should totally be enforced for celebrities for privacy and space.
Pleaseplease leave him alone!
You are not a fan if you stalk him like a bird to a piece of bread.
All these media outlets build up hype around certain actors, and then act outraged when idiot girls believe the hype and start stalking, chasing, accosting and screaming after said actors. Well, duh. In other news, I’m “shocked, shocked to discover gambling going on here!”
Crazy girls are going to chase whoever is the flavor of the week, it’s unavoidable. But they get their cues on who to slobber after from media outlets. If it wasn’t Pattinson, it’d be some other poor dude.
Mandi, Alan Rickman? Now that’s what I call self control.
