Robert Pattinson: the hair is 75% of my performance

You know Entertainment Weekly had to put the three leads of New Moon on this week�s cover. There was no way to avoid it. The interview preview from EW is pretty awesome. Once again, it�s Sparkles being self-deprecating, but this time he�s actually funny. Sparkles is talking about his hair, and he sort of goes off, joking (I think) about how he asked the New Moon producers if his hair could be �toned down� and �Method�. I can�t believe it, but Sparkles actually has me giggling. Here�s more:

�I swear to you I�ve never experienced anything like this. It�s every single day,� says New Moon star Robert Pattinson of the constant on-set fuss surrounding his character Edward�s signature mane.
During a break from shooting Eclipse, the next film to be adapted from Stephanie Meyer�s Twilight novels, Pattinson � sitting alongside costars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner � recounts the continuing saga. �In Twilight, they wanted me to have extensions down to my hips.� (�He�s a liar,� Stewart interjects playfully. �He doesn�t remember. He�s remembering how they made him feel, but they were just, like, down to here [pointing to her shoulders].�) Pattinson continues. �So I told them �Look, that�s just not going to happen.� I said, �It looks like this already, I�ll come to set like this.��

�I sound so stupid, but in a lot of ways the hair is 75 percent of my performance,� the 23-year-old actor admits, his locks now comfortably hidden under a Yankee�s cap. �So in the second one I said, �Listen, I need to tone down the hair. Let�s make it a little more real, a little bit more�Method,�� he says with a laugh. �And then in the third one, I�m doing fight scenes and there�s a strand going down my forehead and they�re like, �We need to do it again because no one will recognize you! No one will know who it is!� I have to look like the poster at all times. Just in case they want to use any clip for the trailer. Any clip at all! There were about five people in different departments who, because of my forelock, ended up in tears.�
