Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi after being mobbed by a group of female fans. The 'Twilight' actor - who is in New York filming new movie 'Remember Me' - attempted to run across the road to escape the hoard of young girls and was clipped by a moving cab.
Sources on the set of the movie say they aren't surprised by the incident as Robert is swarmed by girls wherever he goes. One told People magazine: "It's non-stop busy all day with people trying to get a glimpse of him, and the crowd goes nuts when they do see him." Although Robert - who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight' films - has had to hire extra security to protect him, the star is grateful to have so many fans. The source added: "I think he appreciates it. He's not one to make a big deal about it. He's a chilled guy. I think he finds it a little weird that people are standing outside all day to get a glimpse of him, but he's definitely grateful." |
