Robert Pattinson has revealed that he felt uncomfortable stripping for a scene in New Moon.

The actor reprises the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the second movie in the Twilight Saga series of movies New Moon.

The scene required Pattinson to remove his shirt to reveal himself as a vampire so the Volturi would kill him.

In an interview with Parade the actor said: I felt pretty goofy stepping out into the sunlight in front of 2,000 people in a town square, ripping my clothes off. I was essentially doing a striptease.

"But here's the irony, it was also one of the moments where I've really felt closest to people's emotional attachment to Edward."

"There were so many extras in that scene who were Twilight fans who had flown in just to be a part of it.

"It was a moment where I've felt the whole weight of anticipation, and I guess responsibility as well, of being Edward, for all the people who were kind of so obsessed with the stories. It was quite uplifting and it was also very nervewracking."

New Moon is released 20th November.
