Robert Pattinson Reveals a Big ‘Breaking Dawn’ Secret

Robert Pattinson is almost as known for his iconic locks as for playing heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. But fans of the thrillers may notice something slightly out of place with his vampire alter ego’s trademark mane in the final chapter of the series.

“We had to do the re-shoots on [Breaking Dawn -- Part 2] a few weeks ago, and it was the first time I had to wear a wig,” Pattinson told fans last week at a San Diego Comic-Con panel for the film. “I couldn’t believe my last two days on Twilight they put this orange wig on my hair.”

The hairpiece, which Pattinson described as being “like Frankenstein’s monster” and “an amalgamation of six [different] wigs,” practically had the actor pulling his hair out.

So when asked what he would warn his younger self about if he had the opportunity to go back in time to the first Twilight film, Pattinson’s answer was clear. He joked, “Don’t succumb to peer pressure and start wearing a wig like everybody else in this cast.” Tell us: Are you excited for the final Twilight film?

Yes, Robert is wonderful, I will watch and or buy any movie he appears in, he is so hot.

I would hate to see him in wig, after seeing the others in theirs. The other actors wigs looked terrible, and made them look really bad. Hopefully they had a better wig budget and the wig won’t be so bad. Loved Rob in the other Twilight movies, not looking forward to seeing him in a wig. lol

I really don’t get his appeal! He reminds me of the average guy I see from afar on the street, at the bar, or at school and think “he looks like he smells bad.”

Are certain people only allowed to comment on this site? My comments don’t post why?, never used bad language ever, yet my post don’t appear!

I’ll try again, my previous post didn’t post. I’m disapointed they put him in a wig. All the others did not look good with theirs. Hopefully they have a good wig budget, because in previous Twilight movies the wigs looked awful. IMO I prefer Rob with his real hair, that’s what got my attention and kept it.

I am looking forward to seeing Breaking Dawn Part
2 in November! I also think that Robert Pattinson
is a good actor and very handsome! I am also
looking forward to seeing him in Cosmopolis!
I will continue seeing him in any future movie
roles!

Rob is cute, but he has nothing on the great movie stars of the past. Can you imagine Errol Flynn as Edward–or as James Bond? Cary Grant would have also been an awesome James Bond.

I just love him. Cant wait to see “Breaking Dawn Part 2″

Really? on

This is my third post, the other two that regarded Rob, I guess they didn’t like. All I said was that I didn’t want to see him in a wig. The other actors wore wigs and they looked horrible, can’t imagine Rob in a wig. Doubt if this one will post also, yet the one with me complaining did.
