Robert Pattinson 'doesn't want to be famous anymore,' ready to work behind-the-scenes, romantically settle down with 'Twilight' lover Kristen Stewart?

Robert Pattinson's always been a rather private person, and apparently the Hollywood fame is getting a little too out-of-hand. Apparently, the "Twilight" heartthrob "doesn't want to be in the limelight anymore" - instead, he'd rather work behind-the-scenes.

An alleged RadarOnline insider explains, "The cost of fame is the thing he and Kristen used to complain about all day and that hasn't changed at all for him."

R-Patz loves his fans, but the nonstop admiration is taking its toll on the 27-year-old British actor. The source claims that Pattinson "is looking at a whole new approach to his future and is even considering going to theater school to focus more on getting behind the camera... Rob's been talking to a lot of independent filmmakers, and­ the last thing he wants to do is act in another blockbuster. He would like to direct a movie one day."

Right now, Pattinson's in Morocco filming "Queen of the Dessert." He's also set to star in "The Rover," "Maps to the Stars," and "Life."

Pretty busy guy for someone who wants to take a break!

Maybe after 2014, R-Patz will lay low for awhile? Perhaps this will even give him time to rekindle a romance with on-and-off again girlfriend, Kristen Stewart. Although it might be hard to forgive her cheating ways:

"Rob really can't stand being famous, even though he loves his job," the insider reveals. "I'm sure all the hell he went through with Kristen was the final straw for him as far as fame is concerned."  

What do Mstars readers think - will Pattinson really give up fame to live a more "normal" and quiet life?
