Instead, it was Twilight's brooding vampire Robert Pattinson, accompanied by director Catherine Hardwicke, who drew a packed and very loud crowd at the Soho Apple store Monday night for a fan Q&A about his vampire film based on the best-selling book by Stephenie Meyer.
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. "I can run really fast. I'm good at climbing trees. I always get carried away when I'm kissing people. I just go nuts."
He signed on to do the film because "I liked Catherine. I like the story," said Pattinson. "Done."
Depending on how Twilight, which opens Nov. 21, performs at the box office, sequels are a possibility for the director and her stars. Hardwicke, best known for smaller films such as Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, seems mostly unfazed by the massive and very passionate followers of the film, even though fans clustered outside the Apple store and mobbed her car when she arrived.
"They're very vocal," said Hardwicke of the book series' followers.
How did Hardwicke find Pattinson, whose largest film role to date has been Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films?
"We auditioned every gorgeous guy that acts on the planet," she said. "(Pattinson) came over to meet with Kristen (Stewart, who plays Edward's human love Bella) and I. They auditioned and they did some scenes on my bed. These two had the chemistry."

I highly doubt he hasn't washed that mane in 6 wks and if he isn't joking, wow that beanie must smell interesting. I love that he said in another interview that he lives like a hobo, and poor Rob, have a wash...you are gorgeous regardless but I don't mind if you look like a hobo, but smelling like one is a no go.
his hair would have fall off if he hasn't washed it in 6 weeks:)
in the ED show he said he didn't washed it for 2 years:)
he is hilarious!
Oh it is not washed daily that is for certain. I would venture to guess that it is washed once a week or week and a half or so. He does shower I am sure of that, wether he is putting the shampoo or soap into his hair is another matter.
Okay now everyone imagine what that looks like...Rob taking off his gray jeans and dirty t-shirt that he wore the day prior. Grabbing a dirty towel off the floor of his hotel room or Tom Stu's appartment. His cute little buns in the mirror as he steps into the shower under the water, and IGNORES THE BAIN OF HIS EXISTANCE THAT DAMN SHAMPOO BOTTLE!!!
Seriously, Rob is not big on the hair washing, He really isnt... And he is not really ashamed - LOL... He clearly does wash it every now and then but I really dont think it is a regular thing for him, You know like how often he changes his clothes and such - LOL...
Since I am adoring him from afar, I am cool with it... If he where right here with me, I would just bath him and wash his hair myself, either way its a win win situation for me...
LMAO @ Dani :-)) The bain of his existance :))
I don't doubt that he gets a shower daily, and wets that gorgeous mane. But I think Dani's right, the shampoo bottle doesn't often get opened.
However - my dear hubby showers daily, but only shampoo's about once a week. If he shampoo'd more than that he wouldn't be able to do a thing with his hair (that incidentaly is growing into quite the sex hair do per my request). Oh, and dear hubby doesn't smell, there would be issues if he did!!! :-)
Oh and Dani - thank you, now I have the image of his "little buns" in my head. Not a bad image to have!
Dani---I thought it was hilarious when Elvis Duran pointed out that Rob was wearing the same grey jeans from the night before and how the smell of smoke was in the air. I am telling you that the boy must emit the killer pheromones, because, there was not one woman that cared about the condition of his hair.
And, yes the little buns are noted!
That interview was SO GOOD!!! I love how the girl kept saying 'we don't want you to leave' hahahaha
They asked good questions too. The one about groupies, lol that was hilarious. And asked him if he was bringing a date to the big premiere?? ;)
yeah overall, amazing interview.
He's so cool, saying about himself disgusting whatsoever to scare away he's ever growing fan base! But baby, I WILL STILL WANT YOU!LOL I will support you in everything you do and doesn't do!
