Michael Welch and Robert Pattinson co-star in the super hit vampire movie Twilight. Rob’s character Edward Cullen has captivated audiences and catapulted him to stardom, resulting in his being constantly hounded by she-fans and shutterbug wielders! The mobbing went to a whole new level last week, when the actor was almost run over by a taxi as he hastily crossed the road to avoid a bunch of frenzied fans.

Michael has taken his co-star's stardom way too seriously and his voice of concern sounds a tad over the top! What does he have to say?

"I've said over and over -- literally, right now, Rob Pattinson and Barack Obama are the two most famous people in the world. I don't see how this is sustainable -- is this gonna keep going for the rest of his life?" asks Michael. Adding, "I understand it, it's Edward Cullen, I get it. But he's still Rob Pattinson first -- he's still his own guy. Is it time to start getting concerned here? It's tough, man... I don't know where his life is really headed. I don't wish I had Rob's life at all. I'm glad he's OK. And as long as people don't start ripping at him and breaking him in two, I think we'll be OK... I wish him the best, and hope he's going to be all right."
