Robert Pattinson Interview on Short Hair

in Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson HaircutGirlfriend magazine in New Zealand has an interview with Robert Pattinson I haven’t seen before, we he talks a bit on reaction to the hair cut he got before New Moon began to shoot–

Robert: I cut it because I’m a rebel. It’s one of those crazy things. The studio was always like, “The fans don’t want to see you messy.” I’m like, “I don’t care.” Then as soon as one of the fans said, “I like how messy he looks” they came back to me and were like, “Okay. You have to be messy all the time. Never stop being messy.” It used to look like a sculpture!

[thanks, Rachael!]

    He looks DAMN fine with shorter hair and stubble...I love that look on my men :) I miss him having stubble when he plays Edward but it wouldn't look right.
  • eyesonfire209
    Its your hair rob....do what you want with it....
    thats what make-up and hair department get paid for....
    If they can make michael jackson look like a werewolf...then....??

    Now's their chance to **shine**!
  • Sophie
    Um, i dont know if you know but this interveiw was featured in the australian girlfriend magazine last year in March.
  • Emmi
    The interview was from the Australian Gilrfriend Magazine, but it shares stories and write ups with the New Zealand Girlfriend Magazine aswell. The issue was out in Australia in March, which I have sitting on my desk right now lol.
  • TE101(9/11_A_Day_Of_Infamy)
    i really wish that he didn't cut his beautiful hair
  • cutesweetiezzz
    That was a pretty good interview. Rob's correct. If he wanted to go back to London and sort of disappear, it wouldn't be possible. Us, Twilight fans would just hunt him down. :)
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Shoot he could be bald for all I cared... he's gorgeous no matter what... I liked that hairstyle as well as his "sculpted" hair.... hehe... he's such a dork... my rebel... LOVE him!
  • atwilightmom Team By The Book
    Well, my opinion of him went down a couple levels. It really shows his age and lack of maturity that he would do that. Really, all this shows is that he has no respect for any authority and certainly no respect for the job he has been blessed to have. Wait till you're done and then chop chop if you want.

    Look at Taylor, he spent the year diving into the role, putting on weight and being super mature for his age. Way more mature than some goof off trying to show some stupid "point" by cutting his hair that is crucial to the break through role he is in the middle of shooting. (He may have been on break but he had 2 or more movies to go). Badly done, Rob, badly done.
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    Nope totally disagree...

    It's one thing to work out for a role (which Rob's done too), or have to change your whole life for your job (which he's done too), or research thoroughly for your role (which he's done).....and basically suspend normal life....(which he's had to do more than any of the others).

    It is quite another for some stupid studio exec who is thinking of you as a cash cow....to forbid you to cut your hair during the 6 month break in filming....and be a little Effron Marketing puppet...when shooting has already been completed and there's no reason for you not to cut your hair....

    The fact that they did a 180 degree turn shows they only look at the approval rating on their little sheet of paper, on their little desk.

    There are plenty of puppets towing the line.......It's obvious no one wants this from Rob or he'd not have the fan base he does :)
  • atwilightmom Team By The Book
    No, I disagree respectfully. He choose to be an actor. That profession demands certain things from you and causes your life to change in ways completely alien to most other professions. If he didn't want the attention or demands of the field, then he should of become an engineer or something.
    But look at models, they can't change their look before a job they've been selected for. Look at a doctor's life where they are on 24 he on call, totally disrupting their life. Look at a firefighter or solider who are away from their family and their physical state is crutial to their job. What about a singer, just getting dental jobs done is a huge deal.

    We have costs involved with our jobs. Things are asked of us that we'd rather not do, or can be painful. It is just life.

    We all have responsibilities. Sure, the execs are in it for the money. But isn't every business person? They have to look at the bottom line. That's just life. The problem is that society as a whole has determined they are not responsible for there actions. No matter what motivated the execs, no matter if it was stupid, he should be respectful and thankful for a job. There are so many out there hurting and hungery and he's hurt over someone telling him he can't cut his hair right now. It's all kind of petty and junior highish to me.
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    We'll just agree to diagree. I do understand what your saying. However i think when you have a job...be it acting or whatever...yes you have responsibilities up to certain point. But there is a line. You've sold a lot of yourself to get there, but not everything and your basic right to make your own decisions and decide how you look, who you date, what you eat etc.....remember we're talking on down time from the actual filming..Where would the line be drawn...does he get to make any decisions at all?

    And yes the world a terrible place and dreadful thing happen to people everywhere, but we're only really covering this particular subject on NMM.
  • atwilightmom Team By The Book
    I get it. He thinks his "rights" were being violated. But like I said, it's part of the job, part of the industry he's chosen to work in. Real violation of rights is in unnamed countries where little girls are bought and sold as wives and sex slaves, the Jewish nation being slaughtered and jailed, etc etc. What are degrading ourselves too, that we can't deal with any kind of boss, any kind of restraint on ourselves because it wasn't self inflicted? This doesn't have to do with hair, it's a bigger issue that apparently is very unpopular.
  • atwilightmom Team By The Book
    Hey, look... I'm not trying to be the bad guy here. Sure, it is totally within his rights to do his hair the way he wants, but remember... he is under contract for a certain appearance for 3 movies. Lets put 3 inches of hair in perspective... there are WAY more injustices and personal rights violations out there. Being told you shouldn't cut your hair (because it is how Edward is protrayed in the books, and he is in the middle of 3 movies) is acceptable. Its not about who he dates, that is over the line. But like I said, he chose a profession where the boss needs you to look a certain way for the job. If he doesn't like it, he should choose another profession. I'm not talking about smoking, or dating or anything else. Lets just have some perspective. :) BTW- I am so glad we can have a nice, calm discussion about all this. It makes me happy that we can do that.
  • BrokenBedframe
    The funny thing about hair is...you can cut it...and it grows back! So really, if the boy wants to cut it, it's his hair - he has to wake up to it in the morning! Personally, I think he can pull off either really short or really long hair. I'm personally diggin' the black, slicked-back Dali look :D
  • New Zealand represent.
    Hell yes, I have that mag with that lil article.

    Robs hair looks great long and short. Don't matter to me :D
  • AshleyAnne5
    YOU do what YOU want Rob! we will still like you anyways! I like it when guys stick it to the man!
  • YES!!!!!!!!! .............. i sure do like me a rebel........ the BADDER the BETTER!!!!!!!!
  • Kimoppi
    I always feel a bit bad for Rob. It seems like there is a ridiculous amount of pressure on him from studio heads and fans and especially himself.

    It's just hair. It grows back. Let him do what he wants to it. I personally would fall over in joy if he gave himself a green bi-hawk or something equally fun. I do believe the "robsessed" universe would flip triscuts over that... which is why it would be so fabulous!
  • Edwardlover89
    He's looks good with both short and long hair! He could go bald and he'll still be hot. Haha, lol.
  • i love him either way and he looks really great in that pic :D
  • LeechLover22
    he looks awesome either way. do what you want rob. we all still love you.
  • Alice
    i like his hair messy its my fav style but soz to ya rob but you remind me of my dad (tear tear lol)
  • way better with short hair. It looks good long when it's styled. But he's so fidgety that it just looks like he rolled out of bed.lol
  • jules60
    It doesn't matter what his hair looks like, he is still sexy. ha ha ha!
  • Either way Rob you're still looking good
  • Mrs. Robsessed
    omg...just finished reading the 'whole' article. Isn't it so nice that he still doesn't see what all the women see..........a sex machine. Rob, i hate to break it to you but you if u had problems b4 'chatting' someone up it was only bcuz they were completely dumbfounded/blown away by your beauty. even b4 I knew who you were the only thing i would be able to do was stare w/ my jaw on the floor. Has nothing to do w/ twilight. In fact, when I saw Twilight i was like, "Rob is actually so much better looking than Edward in reality." I know someone wants to smash a pie in my face for that one but it's true.
    Rob, i can give you CRAZY FOR REAL..... I am serious. My husabnd calls me it every day-haha! I think crazy is code for strong, independent, speaks her mind. Nice to see he would not be threatened by that! And I am also very flexible-haha! He is so yummy it actually hurts!!
  • Mrs. Robsessed
    OMG...... I knew it was shorter than in it was Twilight when he did the ET interview but i never saw this one when it was 'freshly' cut. The irony..... I am sure he did it to take the attention away fr/ his hair bcuz all the ladies are always screaming, "it's so sexy." And now the short hair is getting all of this attention. Rob, you could shave it off, dye it, grow it down to your ass.. I don't care. When you've got it, you've got it and it doesn't matter what the hell u do to your hair. I will miss him nervously running his fingers through his hair though. I didn't see him doing that on the ET interview....but then again he seemed very laid back that nite!! Screw Summit....who do big wigs think they are.....stop being 'messy'....no wait.....be messy. Make up your freakin mind. And who the hell cares if it doesn't look exactly like it did in Twilight. Don't vampires get to go to the hairdresser too??? Or do they have to have the same hairdo for the rest of their life-jeeze louise!!
    Please get here fast NOV-196 more days!!
  • Rob_is_my_Kryptonite
    I love that he is rebellious AND unpredictable...keeps me on my toes :)
  • Rosie
    I love that hairdo too!
  • venomandspice
    i almost hate to say this....but...with the shorter hair he looks like my sister's ex husband....i had a big ol' crush on him before they got married (.....i was 13.....) i think i like the hair better short!
  • IndiesR
    Regardless, I would still love him if he had shaved his entire head bald.
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    Me too, he'd still be Rob!!!
  • jenb
    It craps me up that the reason he cut it was to be a rebel. I remember when I first saw the pictures I was like oh no! (I prefer him with the longer locks.) And then I was a little worried if it would grow back in time for shooting of NM. But then I read the reason he did it was to be a rebel agains the studio (Go Rob they shouldn't control your hair for pete's sake!) and I was totally fine with it. I'm glad to see that it's grown back & that sexy Rob/Edward is back for NM!
  • mschicklet
    Just playing devil's advocate... but he's got sort of a smug "screw you" attitude toward a business that pays his bills....

    But I do understand where you're all coming from, and how he's constantly dealing w/ public scrutiny.
  • vampyrgrl
    It doesn't matter what he does to his hair, he is still super sexy!!!!!!!!
  • cottonlily
    I like it better short. It was getting to be a bit much. And yes, it was making his head look way too big. The short crop fits his body much better and it doesn't distract from his face.
  • jcrunswithvamps
    I liked it short because of that too (you can see his face easier). I thought it was getting too long, but right now, I think it's the perfect length. But I don't feel that the studio should have a say in the way he presents himself after filming. He's his own person, not some brand.
  • twifan89
    i, personally, like shorter hair. long hair can get on my nerves. but im not going to go up to a guy and tell him that i don't like his hair LOL. and who would do that to Rob...his "people" are silly for being so contradicting in what they want him to look like. but whatver, let him do what he does. he will be adored by the many no matter how he looks right? =)
  • ilovemasochist
    I love him either way, I mean I take him either way lol
  • i like his old hair better. when he's edward cullen in twilight.

    he looks much cooler. B-)
  • RedRei
    in the words of Rita Skeeter 'everyone loves a rebel Har..Rob'
  • 30yearoldtwifan
    I love that he likes crazy girls! ROB I AM CRAZY!! Yes a freak. I'm your girl anytime.
  • next thing u know he'll get a mohawk and color it purple...hahahahah

    I love you Rob. <3 you rock. Seriously , you totally un-Edwardian, but still managing to make my team Jacob self want you, giggling, nervous, panic attack prone, un-aware of his own beauty, sexy, and totally human man!
  • FL95 (JoJo)
    LOL! Love his attitude... he's a rebel... LOL... he cracks me up. Unfortunately Rob, we love you no matter what your hair looks like!!! :)
  • M
    He did cut it too short so close to filming New Moon. But if he wasn't filming these movies and was going to do something new, or nothing at all, go ahead and cut it. The studio shouldn't be telling him what to do, unless it was only because they wanted it to look like it did in Twilight. But no, if their telling him to be messy for the fans, no, he doesn't have to do that. That's rediculous.
  • mschicklet
    At the time, it made it sound like they got mad at him only because they were scared his hair wouldn't be long enough in time for filming. They had every right to be nervous about that. He was being paid to look a certain way (to play Edward) after all. Any other reason they didn't want him to cut it (to please the fans) is stupid.
  • i noticed his shorter 'Edward hair' on the ET New Moon specials. It still looks good, but I miss how it looked in Twilight. Good thing Rob is so sexy he can pull any hairstyle off! :^)
  • Ciggy_
    I dont care is the perfect answer! He is hot no matter what!!!
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    Sorry Rob.....It's not gonna matter what you do or say........we will all continue to obsess....it's not like we've not tried to stop...but we can't *sigh*....LMAO

    Nice try tho..... we love a rebel.....and if next week you're not a rebel...hell we'll love that about you too :) lol

    If you dye your hair bright green and walk around in bin liners....sorry i'm still in LOL
  • edwardfan101
    LOL true that!!
  • edward_addicted
    Nicely put nicnix Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • ilovemasochist
    Is nicnix for real? Im staring to wonder if i come to this site to read on NMM or to read nic's comments lol
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    *hang head in shame*

    yes yes despite my friends actually wiring my jaw up so they could have peace....i can still type :)

    Sorry guys LOL
  • nothing to be sorry about...we love your dirty filthy lewd comments!! lol
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    LOL

    There's really no way we can help it ;)

    He's the perfect guy...and then everytime he tries to be less perfect....that only makes him more perfect beacuse he's not too perfect LMAO

    Confused....i am :) but it made sense in my head LMAO
  • unicorn glow(vampire_vixen)
    LMAO...omg u too funny...yea i am confused but i kinda understand you..

    rob; u can do whatever with that hair..i am still going to drool over you..


    being change to a vampire=venom pain and buring
    the benefits afterward-priceless...LMAO.. so rob can cut his hair anytime..he will still have the benefits of being the sexiest man/vamp ever..

    hehehe..i am dumb...lol
  • edward_addicted
    it's all good nicnix I get what ur say.........lol
  • ilovemasochist
    Yes I am but I love it lol
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    I confuse myself a lot LOL

    But i know what i mean damn it LOL
  • CindysGotOCD
    I love this cut... it does make him look different .. amazing what hair does.... but still a hottie pottie
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    Since when do these studio people think they own him? I understand him not cutting it right before filming cause it's not supposed to be different......but this was a long time ago....I can't believe they tried to tell him what to do....
  • RedRei
    think it's not the only thing he's been told to do(or not do) by that studio. they're known for interfering with their stars' lives,a bit too much.
  • Daniela23
    I just keep imagining studio people faces when they saw that he cut it that much haha.


    Btw I like it both ways, it's his hair. I just generally love a bit longer hair, but he can pull off both looks.
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    He can, no matter what his hair looks like, it's amazing!
  • RedRei
    that must have been priceless,the look on their faces. hehe show those greedy suits that you're not their puppet Rob.
  • Daniela23
    I can't even believe that they would have the nerve to tell him not to cut his hair even when he's not filming. I understand when he has to keep it because of the role, but when he's finished his hair is his buisiness.
    You said it right they are greedy suits! I think they were pretty surprised when his way of doing interviews without media training crap and the way he looks kinda worked haha.
  • mschicklet
    I agree with you...BUT hair doesn't grow out again overnight so I understood the studio being scared. Edward has to look a certain way, afterall.

    It's sort of like when actors have to gain or lose weight or dye their hair or whatever in order to portray a certain part... I mean geez they're being paid to do it so it shouldn't be that big of a deal of that's what the role requires.

    At least the studio always had the option of giving rob hair pieces, in case his hair didn't grow out enough by the time filming started.
  • rosycullen
    I don't care, I love him anyway, I'm agree with joanna86, he could be bald, I'll still be crazy about him.
  • RedRei
    looks so much better,manlier with that buzzcut than with that wild messy hair imo. shame he can't have it cut like that again after NM,since Eclipse is being filmed two-three(?) months later.
  • neev
    Rob is just perfect ;)
    he looks good, whatever hair he has!
    AND we sure like rebels!
  • MB . Team Slade Brigade 3/09
    you gotta love his response: "i don't care". perfect response and so fitting. personally, i don't think his hair gets any better than the GQ photoshoot or the vanity fair one in november. i mean, wowzers. (!!!) of course he looks great no matter what, but in the picture above, who else thinks he looks like jake gylenhall? is it the plaid shirt and glasses?
  • Damn you Rob! You are bound and determined to make me a complete nut case for you! Aren't you?

    Rebel on my friend! I would have done the exact same thing! I am the exact same way! In fact I only keep up with trends so I can rebel and go the total opposite direction. If the trend color is purple I am wearing orange. If the trend is skinny pants I am wearing the biggest flares I can find! Congrats Rob really are converting me to a Rob lover. *facepalm*
  • ilovemasochist
    Yeap as far as trend go I never follow either. Hale I just found out what Rodeo Drive is.........lol
  • LOL! I knew what Rodeo Drive was for a few years now. I still call it Rodeo (like a rodeo show) Drive just for fun.

    I hate trends. I hate even more these absent minded, shallow tv shows that try to change a person to look like a celeb. I just have waaaaaay too much pride for that. Some of the make over shows piss me off too. Just let people be who they are even if they do look like a train wreck.
  • ilovemasochist
    train wreck? um okay... I dont know if I would go that far. lol But yeah its true most of those shows really $uck. I like the type of person who looks like they put on the first thing they found couldn't give a crap what anyone says and looks absolutly perfect with out the effort
  • I didn't mean literally look like a train wreck. I was just using the analogy they use on those shows. I just love people who aren't afraid to be themselves.
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    LMAO rob is just too loveable for his own good, resistance is practically impossible from my point of view LOL
  • LOL! That is a good point. The conversion feeling usually wears off in a minute or two though lol.
  • Kim1524 (Fanfic Junkie)
    Yeah but i bet they're a heck of a good couple of minutes though LOL
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    I've never liked rebels, but he is one hot rebel that I wouldn't mind getting my heart broken for! Oh how I wish he would pick ME!
  • 4thewolf
    NOOOOOOOOO. Don't do it!!!! Resist the urge to convert. (Never mind that I just had a momentary lapse with Kellan photo)
  • LMAO! I give my word as a wolf girl not to convert! I may slip a time or two but never convert!
  • 4thewolf
    Whew! Howl2 just yelled me into the dirt for swerving my eyes to the cold side momentarily, so I thought I'd pass it on to you. (Take some of my shame off my shoulders) LOL
  • Nicnixs :) Squirrelshavelaws
    Oh you turn coat lol :) Are you abandoning the pack :)

    You gotta love his attitude tho :) I makes him even more perfect *damn it*
  • Nooooo! Never! I could never abandon my precious pack! YUM! They make me weak in the knees lol.

    I just admire his attitude big time.
  • I love the new hairstyle!!!! <3<3<3
