Reese Witherspoon dishes all the ‘dirty’ details about working with Rob Pattinson on Water For Elephants.
Robert Pattinson may be one of the prettiest boys in Hollywood, but his grooming habits are sub-par. Reese Witherspoon, who plays Rob’s lover in Water For Elephants, told Entertainment Weekly that Hollywood’s hottest heartthrob is a little dirty!
“It’s a boy thing, right? To have dirty fingernails and hair, and his clothes were dirty all the time!” revealed newlywed Reese.
We all know Rob rocks the ‘dirty artist’ look, but we hope he doesn’t let his personal hygiene suffer for his appearance! However we can’t blame him too much, the movie is about a traveling circus. Reese also revealed that Rob enjoyed the change of scenery because he got to work on his tan!
“It was a nice escape for him to be tan and in the sun all the time instead of the vampire gear,” said Reese.
We can’t wait to see Rob as a tan, rugged, circus performer! What do you think? Will you go see Rob and Reese in Water For Elephants or are you disgusted by Rob’s bad hygiene?

Here is the thing people, Rob played a circus Vet working with elephants and circus animals–should he have had manicured fingernails. In the book Jacob(Rob)wore the same clothes for days and it was during the depression. All he had in clothes is what he jumped the train wearing…Duh. Has anybody read the book? Rob is playing a dirty character.

I am going to have dirty fingernails, too after I scratch her dang eyes out. He didn’t say anything about her enormous chin. He wouldn’t say anything bad about her or anyone else so I wish people would quit talking bad about him.

God forbid if the new husband ever gets dirty! Reese is going around saying Robert Pattinson was dirty and he was just playing a role for a movie, you blonde! I guess her last husband got dirty out in their yard and she divorced him. How does she SMELL when she going jogging?

In several interviews I’ve seen of Reese, she gushes about how “attractive” and “goodlooking” he is. In the movie Water for Elephants, Rob plays a vet working for a circus. He’s shovels sh*t and works with the animals all day long, getting dirty. She was referring to his character, Jacob. And regarding the hygiene rumors, Rob was being an idiot and joked about not showering. Any time you read a post about his lack of hygiene, it always comes from “a source” and never directly attributed to anyone. The rumors got so out of hand that Peter Faccinelli spoke out saying there has never been a problem with Rob and hygiene. And people who think Rob’s ugly based on a few unflattering pics, you need to see him in person! He is breathtakingly beautiful! There’s a reason phototographers, interviewers, fans and co-stars remark about how handsome he is.

Face it, Michele, R-Patzz stinks. This is not the first time his allergy to soap and water has been mentioned. You and others like you wouldn’t go ANYWHERE near this guy if he were ugly and didn’t have a ton of money in the bank, and stinks up a room to be damned.

You don’t know the first thing about me so don’t tell me what I would and would not do. Nor do you know that Rob stinks, for that matter.

But the thing is that Robert Pattinson is beautiful on the inside and outside. I don’t care if he has any money or not. I heard he smells like Lavendar Vanilla from Bath and Body works. Got a problem with that smell?

Hey Liz, if Rob is so ugly, why are you on this page reading about him. Something perked your interest.

Good job taking her remarks out of context. I saw this full interview elsewhere. She was talking about his ‘Water For Elephants’ character on set, not his personal hygiene. Give me a break.

I guess this was brought up because it’s been rumors for so long that he hates cleaning himself. And he stinks.

This is ridiculous! She was referring to his role in the film. Not in ONE of the million photographs I have seen of Rob, he has dirty fingernails. And his hair has not looked dirty in ages. Give the guy a break, will you?

I am so sick of hearing that robert pattinson is a dirty guy and even if he did have and odor to him all fucking guys do. and know I have never met him and I know that he does not. all hollywood wants to do is try and make roberts true fans. to start not liking him as the artist that he is so many haters in the world so little time. well let me tell you its not working not by a long shot and all those people you know who you are that say write and report this crap cause thats all it is is crap are the ones who are gross not robert pattinson period dot bitches.

It is awful how Hollywood Life twists people’s words! I read this interview with Reese and she mentioned this dirty fingernails & clothes in relation to the character Rob played in “Water for Elephants” – not Rob himself! It makes me so mad when magazines misquote like that just to stir people!

AAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!
Bonnie, give me a break! Do you know some people actually believe this nonsense? Really, some won’t go see this film, with three great actors and a wonderful story, because of crap like this. So, let me offer a counter, for the sake of Rob, and moviegoers everywhere.
Rob showers. He said so. There.
In this film he plays a circus vet who shovels sh*t and takes care of the animals. If he was “sparkling” clean (Oh God, did I say that?) well, people might get their movies mixed up, and we couldn’t have that. Bad enough his name is Jacob.
I can’t believe Reese said this as a jab at Rob, whom she said was “extraordinarily attractive,” among other positive things. His personal hygiene certainly didn’t alter her opinion of him – including the physical, now did it? No! Of course not! You have taken statement out of context and twisted to suit your needs, which is to create controversy.
Why can’t you focus on the actual film and create some positive vibes, which, considering the talent and the story would not be difficult. This is shameful.
