Pattinson 'definitely' imagines becoming a father

Actor Robert Pattinson says he "definitely" imagines becoming a father and admits he can sometimes be a "little control freak".

After getting engaged to FKA twigs, it's certainly something the "Twilight" star has had on his mind while he enjoys the next step in his relationship, reports eonline.com.

Pattinson was asked by a German publication if he could "imagine becoming a father".

"Definitely, although I still do not know when. Therefore, I was so attracted by the role in 'Life'," Pattinson told Jolie magazine via Thinking of Rob.

"At my age, you do not get so many chances to play a father and certainly not one who leaves his family in the lurch."

He added that personally "I imagine it different, of course".

Pattinson also opened up about his self-confidence in Hollywood.

"Well, someone who voluntarily stands in front of a camera needs to have a bit self-confidence," he assured the publication. "Nevertheless, I am also shy. And a little control freak. Not the best combination for an actor, because the control has indeed the director?"

He added, "I've always had the feeling of having to prove myself as an actor, as a star, as a human being. This might have kept me more on the ground. Although I have often wished I had a bigger ego then I might have been able to enjoy the bustle a bit more."
