Robert Pattinson recalls airport employee asking why he quit acting after Twilight: 'I'm Batman'

Robert Pattinson recalled being stopped at passport control and asked why he quit acting after 'Twilight': 'I was like… 'I'm Batman.''

The actor wasn't sure how to correct her mistake: "I was like… 'I’m Batman?'" In response, he said, "She just laughed."Though Pattinson rose to fame for his role as Edward Cullen in the YA vampire franchise, he has remained quite busy since the story concluded with 2012's.
