Garrett Hedlund has already scored some unforgettable memories on the set of his Beat Generation flick "On the Road," but getting heartthrob tips from co-star Kristen Stewart's rumored flame Robert Pattinson is not among them.

MTV News caught up with the "Country Strong" actor on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday (January 16), and while he admitted that they chopped it up when Pattinson popped by the "Road" set to visit his lady friend, he didn't score any gems on how to handle his budding screen-idol status.

"You're trying to milk me for great little things; I got nothing on it," Hedlund shrugged to MTV News' Josh Horowitz. "He'd come out to set a couple times and visit. It was great."

The "Tron Legacy" actor had fun hanging out with the world's most famous onscreen vampire, but added that he sympathized with all the attention Pattinson has to grapple with constantly.

"People just sort of hassle him around too much," he said. "He's a good guy, real good guy, and he gets a lot of people following him around. It's not an easy thing."

Aside from seeing the effects of "Twilight" mania up close, Hedlund recently dished that filming "Road" had some trippy moments, including the last night of production when the actor spent time with 89-year-old Carolyn Cassady, the real-life inspiration for the book's character Camille.

"She was just so wonderful and so genuine to all of us and so happy to be there. At the end of the dinner, me and Sam Riley ... walked her hand in hand up to Vesuvio's, the bar where all these guys used to drink at. I remember the sole of her shoe had sort of come undone and started flapping, but I took off my boot and took off one of the socks and put it over the shoe so it intacted the sole. So we kept on walking," he said. "It's such an incredible, mind-blowing night."
