‘Twilight’ Star Robert Pattinson Reveals Six-Week Hair-Washing Strike
Twilight star Robert Pattinson is our kind of teen idol: the sort of guy who calls his chest hair “early pubes” and stumbles out of Crown Bar at 1:45 am, unshaven, bleary-eyed and slurring. Most young girls prefer their locker-room pinups to be clean and unthreatening, but Pattinson doesn’t quite fit that mold, and at an appearance last night in New York (where the actor was greeted with Beatles-worthy shrieking), he seemed determined to push his young fans’ tolerance of the scruffy, Silver Lake aesthetic as far as it would go:
The audience, made up mostly of screaming girls, went nuts when Pattinson showed up, shrieking “I love you” to the British thespian. Pattinson responded with a bemused “thank you” to very boisterous declarations of adoration, but told the ladies he’s no polished hunk.
“I haven’t washed my hair in about six weeks,” said Pattinson, 22. “It’s disgusting.”
Is he anything like Edward Cullen, the bloodsucker who feeds on animals rather than humans? “I have an incredible six-pack. I’m joking,” cracked Pattinson.
A nation of greasy fifteen-year-old boys thanks you, Robert, even if the shampoo and deodorant industry does not. Still, that “six-pack”? Not necessarily antithetical to the homeless chic persona — just ask Trader Joe’s-era Colin Farrell!

In line with his utterly sexy grottiness, can we coin the tabloid pet name RmPit right here, right now? Sigh…
like my mother has always told me!! noone in this world is perfect..We are all uniquie in our own special way..I personaly think Robert is an Edward just human though and pretty sure my mum will agree with whomever i decide to date six pack or no six pack. ;)
Oh my god, i didnt think much of him when they first cast him for twilight, but now, after watching the movie and seeing a few of his other acting productions, i can see that he’s just such an amazing and awe inspiring actor. He has great skill as both actor and musician, and i admire him for being the odd one out of the crowd. He grows on you, (plus he says the funniest and sweetest things). What i wouldn’t give to be in his arms :)
Heyy im a girl and i hate washing my hair and make up is fake and needless and i say Go Rob! Show them the man you Truly are!
