Twilight’s Bella and Edward speak.

Vampire flick Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as a pair of star-crossed teens, and IGN recently caught up with them to discuss the hit film’s romantic chemistry, sexual tension – and dealing with crazy screaming fans.

IGN: Did you have any idea just how devoted the book’s fans are?
Kristen Stewart: I knew how important the book was to a small group of people but I had no idea how widespread it was. I felt I was one of them, initially – then I realised I wasn’t as crazy as most of them.

IGN: Your mutual chemistry is crucial to the film – how did you sustain it?
Pattinson: I used to sometimes just run into Kristen’s bedroom naked, just to keep shocking her… No, I don’t know, it’s funny because all the romantic scenes were kind of – are you better at [answering] this than I am?
Stewart: No, I’m so terrible at it…
Pattinson: It worried us because we both were wearing contact lenses and so much of it was to do with eye contact. And these lenses were like masks on our eyes –
Stewart: – like walls!
Pattinson: I was really worried that there wouldn’t be anything, so it’s a relief that people felt there was.

IGN: What can you tell us about Twilight sequels? There are three more books to go…
Stewart: I believe we start shooting New Moon the beginning of next year. Usually I only get to play someone for, like, six weeks. I do little movies and when I’m done there’s always this grieving process. So to get to follow [Bella] for an incredibly long time – or at least for the second one – I’m rather excited.
Pattinson: It’s terrifying because we really didn’t have anything to lose, because it was the first one and the timing was perfect. Now it’s harder to live up to the amount of hype, especially in America. Next year everyone will be judging us.
Stewart: The press might be a little tougher but hopefully the process will be the same.
Pattinson: I think it will be impossible, sorry…
