\n New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Hollywood star Robert Pattinson has finally clapped back at long-standing claims from horror film fans who are convinced the \u2018Twilight’ franchise damaged the vampire genre.<\/p>\n

In the film franchise, the 38-year-old actor found global fame playing Edward Cullen, the vampire protagonist of the \u2018Twilight’ films alongside Kristen Stewart, who played Bella Swan in the movies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He told GQ Spain about how he doesn’t believe claims the series damaged the horror genre: \u201cI love that people keep telling me, \u2018Man, \u2018Twilight’ ruined the vampire genre.’ Are you still stuck on that? How can you be sad about something that happened almost 20 years ago? It’s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first \u2018Twilight’ film in the franchise debuted in 2008, marking the start of a cultural phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Pattinson has frequently reflected on the impact of the series and the polarising responses it elicited from audiences, reports femalefirst.co.uk.<\/p>\n

In a 2019 interview with Variety, he commented on how divisive the films were.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe people who don’t like it are generally people who haven’t seen it, and they’re like all judgmental and stuff, and cynical people. But I think I am a judgmental and cynical person who would just mindlessly hate it without ever having seen anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also shared to finding the series’ storyline unusual, adding: \u201cI mean, it’s a weird story, \u2018Twilight’. It’s strange how people responded. They are very romantic, but at the same time, it’s not like \u2018The Notebook’ romantic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018The Notebook’ is very, very sweet and heartbreaking and stuff. \u2018Twilight’ is about this guy who finds the one girl he wants to be with, and also wants to eat her. Well not eat her, drink her blood, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recalling his experience during the making of the first \u2018Twilight’ film, Robrert told GQ he had approached it with a serious attitude, aiming to make it \u201cas arty as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cMy team sat me down and said, \u2018Okay, so whatever you’re doing right now, after lunch just do the opposite, or you’ll be fired by the end of the day.’ And I was like, \u2018Okay.’ And so that was the only thing that got me to sort of smile a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
