Robert Pattinson Looks Back on 'Twilight' Now With Fond Memories

Robert Pattinson is starting to appreciate his Twilight days more and more.

In a new interview with USA Today, the Edward Cullen actor is looking back at the movie franchise with new eyes.

“It seems like with younger people in their late teens, early 20s, it’s sort of become quite a hip thing to like,” the 32-year-old actor told . “It’s a fascinating second wave of people appreciating it, which is kind of cool. I think when anything becomes a massive phenomenon, there’s always people who get annoyed because it’s just everywhere. But now it seems like a retro thing: the soundtrack, the fashion. It’s like, ‘Oh, that’s so late 2000s.’ ”

Robert adds that he actually sat down to watch part of New Moon “just the other day” and shared that “it genuinely does have an incredibly good soundtrack. I completely forgot, but the soundtracks were quite ahead of their time.”

“It’s lovely now that the mania is not so intense. People come up (to me) and just have very fond memories of it. It’s a really sweet thing,” Rob adds. “I think the only scary part was right in the thick of it all, when it was very, very intense. Now the intensity has died down and it’s just very warm memories.”
