Pattinson sick of obsessive fans in New York

Robert Pattinson is desperate to return home to London - because he's sick of obsessive female fans hassling him in New York.

The Twilight star is currently filming his new movie, Remember Me, in the Big Apple, and was recently struck by a taxi while trying to escape a group of over-excited devotees.

Pattinson has reportedly become so annoyed with the behaviour of girls on the streets of Manhattan, he has started pining for his native country.

A source tells the New York Daily News, "Robert is dying to get back home. He's so over everything. He's overwhelmed by all the girls - they terrify him! He says girls grab his neck and clothing all of the time, and hes not used to that. Fans dont do that to him in London. Everyone there is a little cooler about the fame thing, which is what hes used to.

And the heart-throb actor is so unhappy with life in America, even his co-stars are concerned about him.

The source adds, "He's so skinny and stressed. Everyone on set is worried about him... Robert doesnt understand why everyone is going so crazy over him. Hes embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He's afraid that if he gives a hand, theyll take the whole arm. Hes being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesnt even look up anymore."

Pattinson's Twilight co-star Michael Welch spoke out last month (Jun09) about his pal's fanatical admirers, saying, "Is it time to start getting concerned here? It's tough, man... I don't know where his life is really headed."
