Robert Pattinson Hit by a New York Cab
Celebrity Gossip – Robert Pattinson — who’s currently in the Big Apple filming his new movie Remember Me — collided with a taxi on the street outside the Strand bookstore in downtown New York Thursday, it has been reported.
The British actor apparently attempted to run across the street to escape a hoard of fans when he was clipped on his hip by a moving cab, whose driver slammed his breaks upon impact.
The Twilight star, 23, did not appear to be injured and was able to walk away from the incident.
Sources onset of Remember Me — which also stars stars Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper — claim that Pattinson regularly attracts mobs of fans throughout the city wherever they’re filming. “It’s been nonstop busy all day with people trying to get a glimpse of him, and the crowd goes nuts when they do see him,” an insider said Tuesday.
“I think he appreciates it. He’s not one to make a big deal about it. He’s a chill guy and quiet so far,” the source adds. “I think he finds it a little weird that people are standing outside all day to get a glimpse of him, but grateful.”
Neither Summit Entertainment nor a rep for Pattinson was immediately available for comment.
