Rob Pattinson: Dreading "New Moon"
Yep, "Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson says he’s dreading his blood-sucking role in the film’s sequel, "New Moon." But it’s not for the reason you might think. He hates the contact lenses he has to wear for the movie!
Pattinson is onboard as vampire Edward Cullen in "New Moon," scheduled for a Nov. 20, 2009 release date, but he’s dreading those topaz-colored contacts he has to wear.
He tells Britain’s Ok! Magazine, "Wearing colored contact lenses … It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly, and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day, and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball."
Not only that, he says the lenses inhibited his ability to portray Edward’s emotions. "It was frustrating, as well, because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you’ve got two orange blobs in your face, it’s so annoying!"
"The director (Catherine Hardwicke) would say, ‘Look at her (Kristen Stewart) like you love her,’ and I’d be like, ‘I’m trying!’ I’m going to have to do it again, because we’re making the sequel next year."

hi im cassie and i think that if robert dosent want to wear the contacs then why should he i know it would a dramattic change in the movie but why should he do something that dosent feel right and he needs to stay in the movies so he should just think about it and maby talk to the director about it.

hey my names kennedy, i think the same i think the same as cassie. or he could only wear them in the close ups when the viewers get to see them. but with all the money they have had for the first movie they should use abit of computer magic if possible!

I think he should still have to wear them because they already have cut a lot of details out of the movies and she talks about his eyes in the book so much! I think they should try a different kind.. I wear contacts so I know what its like for him.. but I got a different brand and I wear them every day no prob. =)
