Twilight star Robert Pattinson's mum got a scare when she couldn't reach her son after heroin overdose reports.

The actor admits it was one rumour that went too far - and left his mum very upset.

He says, "I had a heroin overdose in New York; that was an exciting one for my mother. My mum calls me so much but I just didn't answer the phone.

"When I found out afterwards, one of the security guys from the film ran into my room, and I was like, 'What are you doing? You could have knocked.'"
