'I didn't really get hit by it at all,' says the Edward Cullen of 'Twilight Saga' film franchise when denying news him being clipped by a taxi back in June.

More than four months after being reported being clipped by a taxi, Robert Pattinson finally addresses the news. Turning down the rumor, the Edward Cullen of "Twilight Saga" film series tells MTV, "That was the weirdest thing. There are a couple of stories that certainly blew that up to such a huge proportion."

Explaining further, the 23-year-old hottie recalls, "I was shooting this movie 'Remember Me' in New York." He adds, "It was about 5:30 in the morning or something, and I was just coming back from Staten [Island], and there was just one paparazzi or something, just one guy going around. We were just crossing the street. And a cab driver just decided to not [stop], just keep moving forward."

Moreover, Pattinson discusses the media attention given to him at that time. "I think, because the photographer couldn't get a photo, he just sold the story as, 'Oh, he got hit by a car,' which was so [untrue]. I didn't really get hit by it at all. I think the cab was stationary," he details. "But it was amazing. It was on CNN! And it was based on absolutely nothing, pretty much. I mean, that was funny, that story."

Back on June 18, Robert Pattinson

was rumored being hit by a taxi. Radar Online was the first which came up with the report, mentioning that the British actor was clipped in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street when he tried to avoid his female fans.
