New York, Nov 3 Robert Pattinson has said that he prefers chilling out with a beer and a smoke, rather than being mobbed when he is on location.

"I'm not much of a crowd person," The New York Post quoted him as saying in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.

The British heartthrob feels conscious of flying in pals to keep him company on the road, because he fears how it would look to throw money around on his not-so-well-heeled entourage.

"Then you feel like a [showoff]," he said. (ANI)
