Robert Pattinson was asked to bite a baby

Robert Pattinson was asked to “bite” a fan’s baby. The British actor — who is best known for playing vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga film series — was left perplexed during filming on the first movie when a female supporter handed over her three-month-old child to meet the cast.

“My favorite moment from the whole thing was when we doing the first one and there were people waiting by the perimeter fence and this woman handed over her three-month-old baby to the AD [assistant director] to meet us,” he said.

“The AD didn’t know what to do with it, so he was like, ‘I think she wants you to sign the baby or something?’ and then we realized she wanted pictures with the baby.

“I didn’t understand the reality of the thing at the time, that people would see the pictures, so there’s a picture of me on the internet somewhere biting this baby.”

Despite his revelation, Robert — who is dating his Twilight Saga costar Kristen Stewart – insists he didn’t make physical contact with the infant and only pretended to bite when posing for the picture.

“I didn’t actually, like, touch it. It’s a funny picture. The baby was so small its entire head fit in my mouth,” he added.
