Robert Pattinson is going to enjoy spending time with British actors Michael Sheen and Jamie Campbell Bower when they film their New Moon scenes in Italy.

Rob won't be able to spend time with Nikki Reed and Taylor Lautner as they aren't going to Italy.

Kellan Lutz is tagging along with Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart so some of Rob's Twilight pals will be there.

It seems strange to us that so many British actors will be in New Moon but Rob isn't surprised.

When he was asked by Teen First if he thought being British gave him something extra to play a vampire he said: "I don't know if being British helps! (Laughs)

"It's weird because there were a lot of British people up for this part. The author's choice was an English guy which was really strange.

"She wanted all English guys to play Americans."

Rob think he knows why Stephenie Meyer wanted a British guy to play Edward Cullen.

He added: "I think there is something about this myth in America of British people being classy."
