Washington, Nov 19 (ANI): Robert Pattinson had not realised the sway he and his words held on his audience until the Twilight hunk jokingly told a fan to strip - and she obliged him.

Pattinson made the revelation on Ellen DeGeneres' show.

He recalled that the incident took place after a period of signing 500 signatures.

You kind of get 10 seconds with each person and you never really say anything and I kind of got bored of saying, 'Hey, how are you doing?' Pattinson tells the talk show host. [A fan] said in her 10 seconds, 'What can I do to get your attention?' I was like um, just take your clothes off, People mag quoted Pattinson, as saying.

He said: She stood there and frantically started taking her clothes off and got dragged out of the room by security.

He added: I never felt more terrible. (ANI)
