Robert Pattinson needs two people to put his contact lenses in.

The British actor hates having the lenses put into his eyes to transform his appearance into that of his 'Twilight Saga' character, vampire Edward Cullen, and would love to find a way to "kill" them now his work on the film series is almost complete.

Speaking about the contact lenses, he said: "My God, I'll be glad to see the last of those. I actually want to get some kind of plastic explosive. I want to reanimate them into something so I can kill them.

"It's so embarrassing for me - after so many years, it's still a process every single morning. Everybody else has figured out how to do it, and then there's two people holding me down because I can't do it myself."

Robert, 24, admits he feels like he has been working on the 'Twilight Saga' series of films his "whole life" and the actor - who has been dating Kristen Stewart, his co-star in the franchise, since they met on set in 2008 - is hopeful the interest in his personal life will die down once the final two movies, 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts I and II', have been released.

He told the new issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine: "All the gossip stories won't work - they're always combined with 'Twilight', so once that's done and it can't be combined with the promotion of the film, I think it will end."
