The `Twilight Saga` heartthrob never needs to approach girls because they always make the first move on him.

However, he admits some ladies get so offended when he doesn`t try to flirt with them they convince themselves he is gay.

He said: "See, I don`t really go after girls. Most of the girlfriends I`ve had have come after me. So it`s really funny when girls get offended because I don`t hit on them. They`ll transform their insecurity into, `Oh, that makes sense, because I heard you`re into guys and have a boyfriend.` I`m like, `Seriously? That`s your tactic to get me to like you?` There will always be rumours, but I know who I am."

Although he is not homosexual, Kellan loves his gay fans because he doesn`t just want girls to come to see his movies.

Speaking about recently meeting a male fan who wanted to date him, he told gay interest magazine The Advocate: "We talked for about 15 minutes, and it clicked that he was probably hitting on me. By no means did I want to lead him on, so it was just kind of funny to me to realise that he was hitting on me - and doing a pretty good job.

"My gay fans are the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they`re so great to talk to - and I`m big on hugging, because I`m from the Midwest. They`re just so energetic and loving. I`m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me. I don`t want just girls coming to my movies; I want guys to come too."
