British actor Robert Pattinson thinks he looks like a transvestite in Twilight role.

The 23 year-old star plays a vampire with superhuman strength and speed in the Twilight series of films based on hugely popular the Stephenie Meyer novels.

The actor revealed that he had his eyebrows plucked and had heavy make-up for the role.

"You get to the point where you think, 'OK, I look like a transvestite now'," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

In an interview, Pattinson admitted that he didn't understand why so many girls found him attractive.

The actor also said that he found being beautiful "quite hard", despite insisting that half of people didn't get his sex appeal.

"They're like, what's that all about," he told The Times. (ANI)
