Robert Pattinson Admits Wearing A Wig For 'Twilight'

  • 17 July 2012

Robert Pattinson has admitted he wore several wigs for scenes in the forthcoming Twilight movie, 'Breaking Dawn: Part 2'. Fans of the British heartthrob will probably be dismayed to hear that the actor's look in the final movie in the Saga was partly attributed to the work of the hair and makeup department.
However, it appears the actor - who reprises his role as Edward Cullen - wore the hairpiece against his own will, telling People magazine, "We had to do the re-shoots a few weeks ago, and it was the first time I had to wear a wig. I couldn't believe my last two days on Twilight they put this orange wig on my hair", before adding, "It's like Frankenstein's monster and is an amalgamation of six wigs". Robert appeared alongside Twilight co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at the annual San Diego Comic-Con this week, building anticipation for the final movie. In a public panel on the film, Lautner joked about what he would say to his younger self should he have the opportunity to return to the first Twilight movie, saying, "Don't succumb to peer pressure and start wearing a wig like everybody else in this cast".
The final movie in the Twilight Saga is released in the U.S. and UK on November 16, 2012. Both Pattison and Stewart are now well into their post-twilight movie careers, with the former recently appearing on David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis'.
