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?

I can’t wait for Breaking Dawn II. I know the series has its detractors, but it never claimed to be more than it is: a love story. And the chemistry between Robert and Kristen is really what made the film series a hit. If the chemistry hadn’t been there, no one would have bought the love story. And I really do believe that the movies improved on the books and Bill Condon really got the love story aspect of it. So yeah, I’m really looking forward to Breaking Dawn II but I am also sad that the series is coming to a close. Thank you Robert, Kristen, and the rest of the Twilight cast and crew for a great few years!!

Wow. The dumbing down of American teenagers. Who knew it would come in the form of vampires played by robots.

Rob is really cute but the People mag site always use the worst photos of him ever. This one doesn’t even look like him.

No I can’t imagine Errol Flynn as Edward, mainly because Errol wouldn’t have touched Twilight with a 100ft barge pole

He looks great in the movies out of them.. not so much. I am total Team Edward and all but he doesn’t care so much what he looks like outside of his movies, it’s a good and bad thing I think. But I will still go watch this one I hope the amp up the end otherwise it’s going to totally suck.

Oh God! I hope that his wig looks better than the one worn by Ashley Green in the first few movies. That thing was horrible and looked so fake!

Nooooooooooooo on

Haven’t seen a wig yet on the cast that looks good. Well, Ashley’s looked good in hers, but the rest including the guys wigs looked horrible. What is Rob going to look like in a wig, I like him with his real hair. I’ve been a fan of his for years, and yes love the hair!
