'Twilight' Countdown: Exclusive Robert Pattinson photo
29 days left...
In today's gift bag we have this exclusive shot of Robert Pattinson taken earlier this month for an upcoming story about "Twilight" in The Times. Publish date: Nov. 2. Write it down.)
You're welcome.
I now welcome your thoughts on it. The facial hair, I think, is very un-Edward. (Could Bella's marble prince even grow facial hair? It seems unlikely). But do we like it just the same? Does it make Robert sexier? More smoldering?
Or just too Wolverine?
Perhaps he's sporting the new look in the name of Spunk Ransom's next Whiskey A Go-Go gig.
Leave your theories and thoughts below. We'll duke it out.
Also, I forgot to mention in Tuesday's launch post that the Countdown updates will be posted every day at 2 pm.
"Twilight" at 2.
Even on the weekends.

I don't find him attractive. I didn't in GOF and I still don't think he is that attractive now. Facial hair, no facial hair....it doesn't really matter.
Whatever...I like Jacob better anyway.

Love! Love! Love!
I'm partial to the clean-shaven look, but this is amazing. ♥

Rob Pattinsion/R Pattz/Spunk Ransom is absolutely gorgeous, but I think the facial hair is just awful.

Rob Pattinson is merely human, like any one of us. Of course, he has heart-wrenching good looks to tempt and tease us mere townsfolk, but he has the right to dress how he pleases and look however he wants. It's admirable that he maintains his identity.
So, since I'm sure he reads this, I would like to take this time to say, "Go, you, Rob."

Er, it's a little organic for me...but it does present an alternative look.

Beautiful. Very soulful expression. I just want to give him a big hug. It's got to be exhausting being him right now.

I like him even more, can it be possible?
hahaha
Posted by: Ariana | October 24, 2008 at 05:31 AM
Not counting the Tom Hanks when he did Chuck Noland
in the film "Cast Away "HA HA HA HA ... they are identical!
But Rob is handsome and HOT anyway, and with that beard he is with a serious air. I love!
Would take him to my house without any problem!
OMR (Oh my Robert)!!

Love the picture, but the beard is SO not working for him. If he wants facial hair he should try a go-T. Rob also needs a haircut and some shampoo. As much as i think he's a great actor, I would like to see just one picture of him with his hair totally greaseless. It's just EEEWWW!
Posted by: KR | October 24, 2008 at 06:44 AM
It's difently not Edward, but it still looks pretty good!!!
Posted by: Madison | October 24, 2008 at 06:49 AM
I like him better shaven. He still looks handsome with the beard, but it doesn't do his face any favors. I'm also waiting for that classy, smoothe, shaven, designer-clothing photo shoot of Rob!!

all men look better with facial hair
Posted by: Cara | October 24, 2008 at 11:45 AM

Posted by: df | October 25, 2008 at 11:26 AM
he looks hot no matter what... he is just hot he has an incredible facial exression like very intriging....
love him he is perfect for edward cullens part
Posted by: Stefanie | October 25, 2008 at 03:35 PM
Rob needs to lose the beard so that we can see his marvelouse bone structure. then he needs to put on some designeer clothes that Edward Cullen would ware or maybe even a clean shirt hes cool but please shave take a shower and change your shirt just some hygene please
