Robert Pattinson has admitted to being uncomfortable while shooting sex scenes for the forthcoming Twilight movie Breaking Dawn.

The vampire heartthrob indulges in love scenes with co-star Kristen Stewart as the supernatural saga approaches its conclusion. But despite being an object of lust to fans across the world, he admitted that he was intimidated by pumped up co-star Taylor Lautner.

He told German website TVMovie.de:

Oh yes! I felt very uncomfortable. No, a fear had rather something to do with Taylor and his fantastic body. Jacob, as a werewolf, has bared all already in the last two films. And to be honest, I can’t keep up with him.

But he added that the scenes, which see his character Edward Cullen cement his relationship with the human Bella Swann, were handled sensitively, saying "they're very emotional scenes. For the first time I felt like a human, not like a vampire."

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is released later this year. You can watch the trailer at the bottom of the page.
