Robert Pattinson insists he doesn’t care what’s written about him in the press — unless hits mom reads it!

The British actor — who has become a tabloid favorite since finding worldwide fame as vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie franchise — says his mother always reads rumors about her famous son — and often believes them!

“My mom says, ‘I can’t believe you did this’, and I’m like, ‘I didn’t do it’, she’s like, ‘yes you did, I know you did’,” Pattinson said.

“It was about swearing, I was like, ’say something about sleeping with people and swearing and stuff, I wasn’t even in the city’.

“And she’s just like, ‘no, I don’t believe, I bet you did say that’.”

Pattinson — who is currently dating his Twilight costar Kristen Stewart – insists fame isn’t important to him.

“You try and stay kind of Zen about it,” he said.

“You just have to learn to accept it all,” he adds with new found maturity.

“I guess the whole thing is that you don’t want to wake up one day and realize that you’ve turned into someone who you weren’t before. And it wasn’t your choice. That’s the danger. And you can’t get it back again.

“That’s the only scary thing, but it’s always really up to you. Most of the time you can control it to some degree.”
