British heartthrob Robert Pattinson was once so lonely he took an obsessed female fan out for dinner.

The Twilight hunk was filming his forthcoming movie Little Ashes in Europe when he encountered an over-zealous admirer who was permanently waiting outside his home. And when the Brit actor found himself with a less-than-hectic schedule, he decided to make the fan's evening by treating her to a night out.

He tells U.K. newspaper the Daily Express, "I had a stalker while filming a movie in Spain last year. She stood outside my apartment every day for weeks - all day, every day. I was so bored and lonely that I went out and had dinner with (her)."

But he had a crafty way of making the fan back off. Pattinson adds, "I just complained about everything in my life and she never came back." (CL/WNTEX/MJ)
