Robert Pattinson turns tables on intrusive fans

Actor Robert Pattinson has a confrontational way of dealing with over-zealous fans - he turns the tables by taking dozens of photos of them.

The Twilight star admits he struggles to deal with the constant attention when out and about, and has developed a method of deterring fans when he wants time to himself.

He tells Metro newspaper, "I'm quite sensitive to people. You pick up on moods quicker, I think. I'm also really good at sensing if someone is around. It's weird, it's like a sixth sense.

"I always know if someone's taking a picture as well... You see people just taking a picture casually at a different (restaurant) table. I've got into the habit now of going up to people with my phone with the flash on and just start taking pictures two inches away from their face."
