Los Angeles: Actor Robert Pattinson dislikes the paparazzi intrusion into his life so much that he has started staying in rather than venturing out.

Asked whether the intrusion has ever discouraged him from acting, Pattinson said: "Acting is the one thing you can control. If you give that up you're just a pawn in someone else's game. But I've definitely become a recluse.

"I hate getting photographed. So my life has contracted a lot. I only go to places with underground parking lots that sound stupid. But it means I don't have to deal with that anxiety."

The "Twilight" star says the paparazzi attention in London made him relocate to Hollywood, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"If you're going out and you're a bit drunk, it's the law of averages ... it's just a matter of time before you punch someone in the face and that's a million dollars. That's why I can't live in London. I would love to live here, but there's no point," he said.
