Pattinson's joke is clearly poking fun at his more than 100-year-old character who's stuck in a 17-year-old's body for all of eternity. In the flick, vampire Edward falls in love with a human named Bella Swan, who was played by Pattinson's ex, Kristen Stewart.
"Whenever anyone says [Twilight’s] their guilty pleasure, it’s like, you say guilty, what you really mean is just pleasure," Pattinson said of fans of the series.
As for hitting the 10-year mark, Pattinson can hardly believe it's been that long since he began the hit franchise, which concluded in 2012 with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.
"It definitely doesn't feel like 10 years ago," he admitted. "I feel like I stopped mentally progressing around the time when I started doing those movies, so it feels like not a day has passed.”
Stewart agreed when talking to ET's Lauren Zima last month.
"Yeah, it has been a long time," the 28-year-old actress said. "I don't know, it is funny, I have also lived in the same neighborhood for 10 years and I thought about that the other day, and I was like, oh god, you know a decade ago it wasn't as crowded, and I was like, that is bizarre to be able to say that. So, same, just cause ... certain things, certain memories will be close to you forever. So, it will never be normal to say something was that long ago, and I feel that way about that too."
