Robert Pattinson doesn’t need to show his six-pack abs! The Twilight charismatic vampire thinks you’re insecure about something if you walked around with your shirt off all the time. I don’t know about this one, Rob. If you had a body like werewolf Taylor Lautner perhaps you would think differently.

“I don’t walk around with my shirt off all the time!” he joked, poking fun at the often bare-chested “New Moon” wolf pack. “It’s like driving a fancy car – you’re insecure about something.”

but Robert is more worried about his famous hair.

“I’ve actually just got rid of my dandruff, which is great,” he laughed.

As for his favorite book? You guessed it!

“It’s my favorite book,” he said, adding that the Stephenie Meyer novel influenced how he approached his performance in the rest of the “Twilight Saga” series as well. “I really connected to [it] really quickly.

“It think it’s an improvement [on ‘Twilight’],” he continued, noting that he was able to make some changes to Edward’s character, being out of the spotlight. “It was nice not being the lead.”

As for dealing with tabloid rumors which is often not as nice.. this one scared his mother big time. 

“I had a heroin overdose in New York as well, that was an exciting one for my mother,” he said of another false report. “I’d been working so much, I didn’t answer the phone. I’m so ignorant. I don’t think it had set in that anyone read [the tabloids].”

While Rob is tight-lipped about his status with his co-star Kristen Stewart off-screen, Robert did answer an Access fan question about dating older women.
