has said he can finally look back on the Twilight films 'with fond feelings' after years of struggling to cope with the 'hysteria'.
The actor, 39, rose to international prominence with his role as vampire Edward Cullen in The Twilight saga alongside his then girlfriend , who played Bella Swan.
The films were released between 2008 and 2012, based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
With time to reflect on becoming a global heartthrob, Robert said, according to The Mirror: 'At the time I wanted to move on, but as I have got older and the hysteria has died down, I actually look back on Twilight with really fond feelings.
'I am still asked about Twilight more than I am asked about anything else, the impact it still has on fans is huge.
'Due to streaming services there is the new wave of fans. I get asked about it by people who were barely born at the time the first film came out.'

The franchise shot Kristen, Robert, and Taylor Lautner to fame as it earned over $3.4 billion in worldwide sales.
Twilight has solidified itself as a pop culture phenomenon with its five novels and corresponding film adaptations.
Robert said it was a 'weekly occurrence' for fans to ask for him to bite them as if he really was vampire Edward.
He added: 'That was why I was so keen at the time to move on from those films. I really didn’t cope at all.'
The actor said the first film was his favourite because the fan frenzy hadn't started yet and they cast got to 'enjoy the experience for everything it was'.
After first being offered on Netflix, the films recently switched to NBCUniversal’s Peacock.
Robert, meanwhile, moved towards independent cinema, earning critical acclaim for performances in films such as Good Time and The Lighthouse.
He later returned to other blockbuster roles, starring as Bruce Wayne in The Batman.
