Robert Pattinson nearly "lost it" earlier this year. The "Twilight" star admits the pressure of fame made him "really paranoid" until he realized he was just going to have to "accept it."

The 23-year-old star explained: "I was getting really paranoid. But then I realized that if tomorrow I say, 'OK, I've had enough we're stopping everything,' it won't change anything."

"Might as well try to accept it and stay Zen as I have no control over it. It's not always easy. But whining won't change anything."

Robert had no idea how famous he was until he was mobbed by screaming fans at the Cannes Film Festival in February.

He told France's Premiere magazine: "I was in a restaurant during a break, and when I came out two hours later, 500 people were waiting for me at the exit."

"It was total chaos. But I'm sure that if I'd said to one of those girls, 'Come on, let's go have breakfast,' she would have been totally embarrassed and would never scream my name again."
