Peter Facinelli 'I'm very proud of Rob and Kristen'

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been praised by their Twilight costar Peter Facinelli.

The actor says he’s proud of the way the couple have dealt with fame and fortune.

“It’s been fun for me to watch them rise to fame the way they have and the way they’ve handled it. When your life is put under a microscope like that it’s very difficult to function and I give them great credit for functioning and living a normal life within the realm of their fame” he said.

“My daughters don’t usually get impressed by people I’ve worked with because they’re just Dad’s friends. I think they’re just enamored I’m part of the whole franchise. Rob is just one of Dad’s friends.”

Meanwhile, Rob has revealed he wants a “simple” wedding.

“I imagine it to be pretty simple. It’s not exactly my style to fly in 500 different celebrities from around the world,” he said.

“My best friends now are the same best friends I had before everything got a little crazy. I would want it to just be family and close friends, not somebody I’ve said hello to once at an awards ceremony.”

The British star also revealed he would return to his native UK to get married, despite the unpredictable weather.

“The weather in LA is great, but if I were to get married, I think I would like to do so back home,” he said.

The Water for Elephants star recently spoke of his desire to settle down and have a family, revealing he dreams of sharing his home with a number of children.

“I’m not interested in casual relationships, I need to know people, I’m not making an existential statement here, simply, I want a family with two or three kids,” he added.
