"I can't remember what my normal life is like," he admitted in one of his quieter moments.
"Because of internet stuff and Twitter, there will be a crowd if you are in a place for more than half an hour.
"I've learned never to stay in the same place for more than 20 minutes."
He laughed, seemingly still amazed at the Beatles-like level of fandom he has following him.
While many would love that kind of adulation, anyone watching Robert when doing interviews will see he finds the situation difficult to deal with.
The actor, who become a teen pin-up as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter films The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix, hates watching himself on screen and even had a panic attack at the premiere of Twilight.
"The biggest challenge is coping with the crowds," he admitted. "I am a quiet, private person. It's strange.You have to change a little bit.
"Walking down the street comes with screaming. I still can't watch myself either. I have always been like that. Watching myself at the Twilight premiere was a mistake.
"I had never watched anything of myself since Harry Potter.
"But I went to it because my whole family was coming to see it.
"Nothing comes other than this pure discomfort.
"I can't watch myself. I am just feeling everybody else's reaction. I can't handle that at all."
However, Robert claims he's not shy when he's on set - it's only when the film is finished he feels uncomfortable.
Surely if he didn't care, he would be happy to watch himself? He said: "It seems pointless watching it.You get a big ego or you become depressed. So I avoid it altogether."
In the film, Robert goes topless and again that awkwardness is apparent, despite the actor working as a model for four years.
"I was so uncomfortable doing it," he claimed. "It really is so embarrassing," he added with a laugh.
"I like playing him," said Robert, who luckily doesn't like going out in the sun, so doesn't have to worry about spoiling his deathly vampire pallor with a suntan.
"I don't know if I like him as a person. "He is a little straight-laced for my liking. He is not rebellious. I think that should be respected."
"I am not very good at taking complements," he revealed.
"I am one of those annoying people.
If someone tells me I gave a great performance, I say, 'oh, yeah, yeah' in a not very interested way.
"But if someone says I am bad or something, thenI agree with it - although I hate it at the same time."
But now he calls internet gossip "toxic" adding: "You can't let yourself be dictated to by anonymous faces."
"I don't think I have to prove anything to anyone.
"I don't expect anyone to give me any breaks.
"I am not one of those people who wants to scream 'give me a chance. I will show you what I can do.'"
"You know, I really don't care. "If you do this stuff, then the audience will respond. And if you can't actually play any other part, that's all right, too."
