Actor Robert Pattinson has said that he received hate mail when he was initially cast in 'Twilight'.

Speaking to The Mirror, the actor said: "People sent me hate mail and the internet was full of messages from 'Twilight' fans who didn't want me."

"But then the trailer came out and everything turned around. I started getting love letters and fan mail instead of hate mail."

Speaking about his fans, he said: "I don't understand them and I don't know what they're thinking."

"When it first started I didn't realise I had to accept it to a certain extent, and now I embrace it more."

"Generally my life isn't really affected by it - I'm working nearly all the time and I don't do things like walking through Times Square with my shirt off."
