Even though he’s hot no matter how he wears his hair, we were all scratching our heads in confusion when Rob Pattinson shaved his luscious locks — but HollywoodLife.com learned the reason behind the major change!

Have no fear, Robert Pattinson lovers! HollywoodLife.com has learned R-Patz fully intends on growing back his beautiful hair and we now know why he showed up at the People’s Choice Awards Jan. 11 with a shaved head.

“All the stuff he had to do for Cosmopolis really messed up his hair,” an insider told us. “It was all over the place and in different lengths. Then he had to cut it again for re-shoots, and while it sort of grew back for the Breaking Dawn premiere, it was a little off still.”

We were told the 25-year-old hunk decided to shave it all off and start from scratch so “it will grow back to normal.” Whew!

What did you think of Rob’s new ‘do?

Any good stylist could have fixed the half haircut he got from filming Cosmopolis, especially after he let it grow out for a few months. He wanted to cut his hair. It’s not the first buzz cut and is probably not the last. This was not an attention getting stunt, nor was it promo for Cosmopolis. I don’t know why so many people are making this out to be such a big deal. It’s just a damn haircut, get over it!

The haircut emphasizes his big and weirdly-shaped nose.

The haircut is publicity for Cosmopolis, a movie about a guy riding in a limo wanting to get a haircut. The movie took less than four weeks to film. The haircut buzz will give Rob something to talk about when he does the late night shows promoting Cosmopolis. Otherwise, what else is he going to talk about? Maybe about the last bar that he hit on his way taping the show.
