Twilight actor Robert Pattinson would get naked on screen for the right role.

The British actor - who plays vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies - would consider taking his clothes off if he thought the part required it.

Pattinson said: "I think it would depend on what it is. And I don't think a lot of people would really want to see that. I think it would ruin the illusion."

Although he would be prepared to strip for a movie, the 23-year-old star admits he finds nudity embarrassing and struggled when he had to shoot explicit scenes for the 2008 movie Little Ashes, in which he played a young Salvador Dali.

He said in an interview with Britain's Star magazine: "It's funny because Spanish people have no problem with nudity at all, and I mean at all. And English people obviously do have the most enormous problem with it.

"Little things, like when I saw my father getting changed for swimming, I was traumatised by it and I kind of freaked out a bit."

    I am a Twilight Addict for sure! I am Team Jakeward all the way, lol. I reckon Eclipse should be the best version of all for movies... but the books kick butt much more! But if you've read the books, I don't think it matters at all whether this one will live up to expectations, cause the stories have already captured our hearts!

    Well what can I say, I am a total Twilight addict! I love the two films so far- but love the books a whole lot more! They NEED to make Breaking Dawn into 2 films. There are just sooo many amazing parts to it that so many [important] things will end up getting missed out! It is kinda essential that it's made into two films! Please, make two films!

    I ahve to say that Jacob is who I would go with because of his looks but he hasn't got the personality that Edward has. If I were Bella and Jacob had the personality of Edward you would have the best guy in the world!!
