Robert Pattinson: Young stars may become suicidal

Robert Pattinson, whose new movie, The Rover, opens June 20, thinks Justin Bieber will be okay. The Twilight star worries about a lot of young stars and thinks most of them need therapy, but believes Justin, 20, is well-equipped to cope with the pressures of fame and success. The 27-year-old actor said: ''When you see these kids, there is only one way: you either get in therapy now or become a serial killer, or kill yourself. I mean, you can see it really early on - it's terrifying.'' Asked about Justin, he said: ''I've met him before, though, on his party bus. I've met him a couple of times. He's all right.'' Rob feels lucky his teenage years were spent out of the spotlight. He told Vanity Fair at the Cannes International Film Festival: ''I did Harry Potter when I was like 17, and nothing really happened after that. I mean, I made loads of money compared to anyone my age - it was incredible. But I mean, then I just did little TV things afterwards. But I got to live from 18 to 21, you get your own apartment and basically I didn't star in Twilight until 21. It's different because you're still young, but you've had a life beforehand. Whereas if you are 10, it's a totally different thing.''
