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?

SO EXCITED!!

Katie Collins on

I’m so excited about Breaking Dawn Part 2!!!!!!

jenna on

I can’t wait!!I’m super excited!!:D

lowana on

Rob would look great with a purple wig on. He is the most handsome man that has come along since Elvis. Efron, Pitt, Jackman, any of those “heartthrobs” will never hold a candle to Rob. There probably won’t be another like him to come along for 40 more years, if then. You’re the best Rob!

Kim on

I admit it..I’m old enough to be his Mother..and I still adore him. Always liked the Twighlight movies..but Water For Elephants really hooked me on him.

Kim on

Twilight movies! (Yes, I can spell..looking at Rob got my fingers all out of sync! LOL!)

Chichi on

WTF?! What is wrong with you people?!

lindsay on

CeCe on

mrsmass on

Heather on

NOM NOM NOM NOM. He is absolutely delicious.

MH on

They have taken too long in-between the showing of the films. I will see it, but it’s not like I am going to stand in line waiting for tickets or anything.

whatever on

can’t waaaaait

donna on

BEYOND EXCITED!

Alexis on

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW I EXCITED I AM!! Great picture of Rob by the way. He sooo good in that picture!

Lori on

Kim, I am in the same boat. Old enough to be his mother, but young enough to know that he is one beautiful man!

Terri on

Am very excited about the movie release in November. However, I just have to say that Robert Pattison looks way stoned in this photo.

Stella on

He was wonderful in the movie Remember Me….it is a real heartbreaker.

den on

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss! Looking very forward to BD part 2!!! :o)

Julia on

i cant wait to see the movie i will be ther the first day it comes out. eeeeeppppppp

sammieanne on

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

Guest on

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

Alexia on

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.”

Guest on

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!

ginny on

I was alittle disappointed by what they left out of bd1 it made edward look disinterested in bella after they made love till he heard renesme thoughts

Guest on

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.

Melanie on

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!

Mary E McKelvey on

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.

swati on

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.

Mud on

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!!

Donna on

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

Sharon on

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.

The Kidd on

I’m sure Robby takes his wife Kristen… and listens to some Prince Music! Nothing gets the ladies N the mood 2 U as… raspberry corvette, purple rainbow or lil yellow beret! Everyone knows Kristen has good taste N music!

___Team___Wolfe_boi___
Avril Levin sux! Don’t do drugs, and don’t go 2 Khanada!

Grainne Gillespie on

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

Katie on

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.

Sonia on

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!

I have been browsing on-line more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web shall be a lot more helpful than ever before.
