Robert Pattinson says he auditioned for Twilight because he had a crush on Kristen Stewart.

The heartthrob actor, who played vampire Edward Cullen in the hit movie franchise based on the best-selling book by Stephenie Meyer, admits his main motivation to win the role was getting to know the actress, who had already been cast as love interest Bella Swann.

He says: "I read the script and I barely knew that they were books too. The only reason I went to the audition was to see Kristen, because I'd just seen Into The Wild.

"Of course I had a crush on her but we are just very good friends."

Pattinson, who has denied claims he and Stewart are enjoying a secret romance, insists he is single and on the lookout for a new girlfriend.
