Great (s)expectations!

The wait is almost over for Twihards the world over as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 is set for release next month and Robert Pattinson is hoping that one scene in particular will not disappoint.

The British heartthrob acted out an intimate scene with co-star and real-life girlfriend Kristen Stewart (as characters Edward Cullen and Bella Swan) and he is nervous about how it is received because of the expectations fans have for the encounter.

Referring to the original novel written by Stephenie Mayer, he said: “It’s funny, people talk about sex scenes in the book but there aren’t actually any. It’s all in people’s imagination. They’re like, ‘It’s so hardcore.’ But it always fades to black. It just shows bits of the aftermath. But you have to show something! You can’t fade to black in the movie because people would go insane!” 

However, it’s not the only scene Robert is nervous about – Kristen’s character Bella falls pregnant with Edward’s half-human, half-vampire baby and the actor says the on-screen labour was “horrible”.

He told Total Film magazine: “It was horrible. Insanely graphic and the most nerve-wracking thing about the whole shoot!”

We still can’t wait to see it!
