Robert Pattinson likes to smell bad. Robert figured out that the worse he smells, the more photographers stay away from him. I wonder how Kristen Stewart feels about the odor around her rumored boyfriend!

More pictures of Robert after the smell…

There are lots of ways to fool the press, but I think this is the first time somebody forgot the deodorant! From the Irish Central:

Co-star Peter Facinelli tells New York Magazine that Pattinson learned that if he appears in the same clothes all the time, the paparazzi can’t sell the photographs.

Facinelli may be the person responsible for this smelly ruse. He says he told Pattinson that it was one surefire way to keep the paparazzi away. Thanks a lot, Peter!

Co-star Ashley Greene, who plays his sister in “New Moon,” says she tries to avoid breathing when he’s around, jokingly saying, “I don’t sniff him.”

Ewwww. Robert must smell pretty bad then, when his co-stars all comment on it! Would you go that extreme to keep photographers away?
