Robert Pattinson admits to being afraid of being in love

Twilight actor Robert Pattinson has admitted to OK! magazine subscription holders that he is scared of being in a serious relationship.

The star, who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter film franchise, told the publication he's afraid of falling in love.

"Yeah. I'm more self-conscious," he told OK! magazine. "You can't afford to fail, but you're kind of afraid of succeeding too."

The actor is reportedly dating Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

He described fame as being "kind of like a monster thing".

"The more people think they know you, the more you're identified with a certain thing," he revealed to OK! magazine. "I can't do anything in America, I just don't want to have any stories written about me."

Parts one and two of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn will come out next year and in 2012 respectively.
