Robert Pattinson has referred to fame as being like a monster.

The 24-year-old actor also spoke about mega-star Leonardo DiCaprio, who found fame at an early age.

“It’s kind of like a monster thing,” he said. “The more people think they know you, the more you’re identified with a certain thing.”

“People always used to ask me about typecasting. I don’t really worry about it, but the fact is that a lot of it is about making money,”

“People will judge your work and it’s not making money, they’re like, oh, it’s over. If you want to just do something that’s good or whatever, it needs to win Oscars. It needs to be extreme wither way, which is difficult.”

“Hysteria can only go on so long. Leonardo DiCaprio, he provides a reason for his fame. It’s weird because I was doing little independent films, but he got nominated for an Oscar when he was like 11 and he always really wanted to be an actor. I kind of just fell into acting.”
