Will Pattinson Be Mobbed At Today's Appearance?
Nov. 12 2008, Published 4:06 a.m. ET
We reported yesterday on the horde of Twilight fans who got out of hand at a Robert Pattinson appearance in San Francisco. As a result of the injuries and general confusion, the Orland Park Police Force has braced itself for the actor's appearance today at Orland Square Mall, in Chicago.
The security team at the mall is also ready for the anticipated mob of young girls anxious to meet their favorite vampire come to life.
However, Pattinson is reportedly unenthusiastic about the fame that his new role has brought him.
''That whole thing about being a star or being a celebrity makes me uncomfortable. I love acting, but the rest of it can be bit unnerving," said Pattinson, who is inspired by Daniel Radcliffe when it comes to dealing with success.
''Daniel's handled it all so beautifully. And he's had to deal with far more stuff than I likely ever will.''
The Orland Square Mall signing is scheduled at the Hot Topics store, starting at 6 p.m.
