Robert Pattinson finds fans crying out his name 'surreal'

British heartthrob Robert Pattinson has revealed that he is still not used to fans shouting and screaming his name, and that it all seems "unreal" to him.

Pattinson, 24, who was in Sydney for the premier of his new film, Water For Elephants, was welcomed by yells of close to two thousand fans, who had gathered at Pitt St Mal.

"You never really get used to all this," the Daily Telegraph quoted Pattinson as saying of the commotion.

"It’s just so surreal," he added.
