Robert Pattinson regrets undergoing dental surgery to fix his teeth ahead of his Twilight debut - because the procedure has caused him so many problems.
Movie bosses urged the star to have his smiled fixed before he stepped in front of the cameras to play vampire Edward Cullen in the 2008 teen drama.
But after a long and painful stint in the dentist's chair, Pattinson admits the work may look good on screen but he's been suffering ever since.
He says, "They tried to fix my teeth. And they shaved these little gaps on, they tried to do an Invisalign (dental brace) thing. And I put the Invisalign thing on and was like, ‘I don’t wanna wear that s**t.' Those gaps between my teeth have decayed and caused me so many problems. That’s the one thing I regret doing because I wasn’t thinking at the time."
In other news Robert Pattinson has refused to hire a publicist because he doesn't want to lose control of his life.
The Twilight actor fears he will be sucked into the Hollywood machine if he allows an agent to control his representation in the press and handle all his affairs.
And Pattinson insists he couldn't stand taking orders from a publicist - because he is too independent.
He says, "I have very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived. I don't listen to anyone else - that's why I don't have a publicist or anything. I can't stand it if someone is trying to tell me to do something."
