Robert Pattinson was bullied as a kid. Mr. Sprakle Vampire was (surprise, surprise) less than a popular student. He was teased for acting too prissy and actor-like. Well, as with most successful people, we’re certain his detractors are suitably envious now.

more Pattinson after the hop…

Pattinson told parade.com (via usmagazine.com):

“I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked,” he says. “I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.”

And speaking of “hittng on” Pattinson doesn’t really do a lot of that with the ladies, either.

“I don’t even remember the last time I asked someone out on a date,” he claims. “Like, just went up to them and that’s the first thing I did… I tend to hold back.”

Awwww.
