Yet again, Robert Pattinson has said something that takes our lust levels down a notch when it comes to crushing on the brooding, be-glittered one. 7 Traits Of Irresistible Men

"I hit with what I thought was my full strength. I hit his face about four times. And every time I was like 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry' and he was like 'it's fine. It didn't really hurt.' That was kind of an ego deflator."

From vagina allergies that make us question his sexuality to the realization that "yes, Robert, you do indeed kind of look like a cartoon character," we have to ask: Is he trying to make himself unappealing? It's not that far-fetched of an idea. Men Have Insecurities, Just Like Women
Previously we have reported on his inability to see anything of worth in himself: "I just don't take any of [the attention] seriously. It's just a job and while it's a job I love, girls scream out for Edward, not Robert. I still can't get a date."
And maybe he has a point. It's his characters that we love. Not him.

It's all been given so easily. What did I do to deserve this adulation? I am convinced I need to work at least ten full years to actually earn the status I've apparently being given. The more I act different characters the more I learn. I know it might be risky, especially with the added pressure of fame. Certainly with the fame that has been thrown in my lap."
"I want to grow as an actor. I don't want to be typecast as the romantic hero. I'm not going about wishing everything was back to how it was in the past - although sometimes I do as it was so much easier."
