/> It would be a supernatural romance were it true - Medium's matriarch Patricia Arquette and Twilight's hunk Robert Pattinson. But it would appear it is only to be in Pattinson's dreams. The 23 year-old referred to his boyhood crush on 41 year-old Arquette on the Ellen DeGeneres Show late last year, but expanded on the theme last month when promoting the second Twilight film, New Moon."I've always had a thing for Patricia Arquette", he said. "She was my childhood pin-up. I liked her in True Romance. I watched that about 15 years ago and she kind of struck a chord with me.
"I have never met her before, but when you say you have a celebrity crush, you hope you don't bump into someone and they've read it", he added in another interview on the topic.
While flattered by the comment, Arquette who made True Romance in 1993, revealed in an exclusive interview with The Courier-Mail this month that things might be a little awkward if they were to meet.
"It's very nice he's said that. My niece is like, 'You've got to introduce me'", Arquette said. "But no, I've never met him. I would probably be a little shy like, 'I'm sorry, I'm old now.'"
She said it reminded her of her son when he was five. "There was a woman called Angelyne - she looks like a Barbie doll; a blow-up wierd Barbie doll. She's never done anything but she used to pay for billboards all over LA.She was my son's first crush. We were driving by a little drug store and I said, 'I see Angelyne's pink Corvette, let's go in, she's inside'. So I was carrying him around through the store and I see Angelyne and she turns around. 'We just love you and we wanted to say hi.' She says hi and my son was like, 'Mum, she's an old women'."
Arquette grinned. "I think that will be Robert Pattinson if we ever met - he'll be like (deepening her voice and whispering), 'She's an old woman!'"
