The reason Robert Pattinson is rejoicing – he can shop in supermarkets again…

Being adored by millions of women over the world does have its pitfalls - no really, Robert Pattinson knows.

Going about daily life was so intense that the 'Twilight' actor has only recently been able to start doing his own shopping again.

Speaking to NME magazine, he said: "I had people sitting outside my house every single day, and it drove me crazy. I didn't go into a supermarket for about six years."

However, since the franchise came to an end three years ago following five successful movies, he has been able to get back into the swing of normal life.

He explained: "Now I can go in [to the supermarket] and chat to the guy who's working there about his kids, or where he's going on holiday, and not be thinking, 'Is he gonna sell me out?' I just don't have to think about that stuff anymore."

Meanwhile, looking back at the beginning of his career, Pattinson - who is in a relationship with FKA Twigs - thinks some of the events he attended were "dumb" and "sh*t."

He said: "I was watching the MTV VMAs the other day and thinking how bizarre it was that I ever did that s**t. I remember doing those awards and saying the dumbest stuff. And I was hungover for most of it."
