Rob details some of the challenges of shooting the first film in the epic series — are you shocked?

Robert Pattinson was lucky enough to helm Breaking Dawn with his love Kristen Stewart, but he reveals that the series was definitely NOT all fun and games!

Rob, 25, spoke to BZ Berlin about his difficulties in filming the first chapter of the Twilight series.

“It took a very long time to shoot these films and I never imagined it would be this hard in the beginning,” he said. “I mean, I sat in the make-up trailer for at least 2 hours before every shoot, had to put in those contacts, that my eyes never got used to, every time. As soon as I put them in I was in a bad mood, especially when we were on set up to 15 hours, 6 days a week.”

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers — despite the difficulties, was Rob the perfect choice to play Edward Cullen?
