(Getty) Robert Pattinson (Getty) You might think Robert Pattinson and Justin Bieber are brothers in much-beloved hair, but it appears it just isn't so. Bieber recently told UK tabloid The People that he and Pattinson bonded at an industry party over their famous locks, saying, “One day Robert Pattinson came up to me at a party and said, 'For whatever reason, people love our hair and it's always a great ice-breaker with girls.'” “He is like, 'Hey, my name's Robert. Want to touch my hair?' I thought he was joking, but it really works.” Now Pattinson, who is hard at work promoting his upcoming film Water for Elephants , says that encounter never happened. He told MTV (via EOnline ) on Friday, “I've never met this guy. I saw that as well. I was like, 'You're really famous, man—what are you doing? You don't need to use me to make up stories!” Maybe Bieber was just embellishing for the sake of avoiding talking about his private life. Which is something you'd think Pattinson would understand, given the constant speculation about his relationship with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart .

From ‘Breaking Dawn’ to leading lady Kristen Stewart, RPattz was an open book. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News Robert Pattinson likes his leading ladies “hot,” thinks his “Breaking Dawn” love scene with Kristen Stewart is “funny” and looks back at his first “Twilight” red carpet and thinks, “I looked like an old alcoholic.” Yes, we ranged far and wide across the “Twilight” universe on Friday night during “MTV First: Robert Pattinson,” a 30-minute live chat with the 24-year-old star. In fact, we hit so many topics of interest to fans of the vampire franchise that we’ve gathered them all on one page. Consider this a Twi-cheat sheet: everything Pattinson had to say about the series: On Kristen Stewart While Rob drew a line of comparison between his “Twilight” co-star and other leading ladies with whom he’s shared the screen — “I like being in movies with lots of hot girls,” he laughed — he also pointed out how different he is from Stewart . “I like the kind of cerebral aspect of things, and she has kind of an immediate emotional response to stuff every single time,” he said about making various acting choices. “She’s like, ‘Why can’t you understand? It’s obvious. You don’t know. You shouldn’t be an actor!’ ” Unsurprisingly, the duo’s upcoming “Breaking Dawn” love scene — which we got a peek at in a photo earlier this year — also cropped up during the conversation. “You’ve got to really know what you’re doing. If it’s just a sort of arbitrary love scene, it’d be quite difficult,” he explained. “The one on ‘Breaking Dawn’ is pretty funny.” On “Breaking Dawn” Of all the new talent joining the franchise, 10-year-old Mackenzie Foy , who plays Edward and Bella’s daughter , is the one everyone has an eye on. “She’s a great actress. She’s really sweet,” Pattinson told us. “She has to do a hard part as well, because she’s doing — I don’t want to get into special-effects stuff — but she’s playing a baby in some scenes. Oh, man, some of the stuff is so strange. I mean, we’ve done very strange things on the ‘Breaking Dawn’ shoot.” Rob also dished a bit about the musical aspects of the upcoming films, shooting down a rumor that he’ll sing a lullaby but revealing he will show off some of his musical abilities . “I did play some piano. I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be secret,” he said. “I was very impressed. I hadn’t played piano in years, and I learned it in about 10 seconds.” On Revisiting the Past While we had Rob live and in studio, we couldn’t help but flash back to our first-ever “Twilight” interview back in the spring of 2008. Though much time has passed, Pattinson said that now, much like then, he still can’t quite grasp the full breadth of Twi-mania. What has changed, he added, is how he acts during interviews. “I never got that I was supposed to be talking about ‘Twilight.’ I thought I had to be funny all the time and that’s it,” he said. But he doesn’t regret trying to be the always-on funnyman. Looking back on the last few years, Pattinson told us he really has just one regret . “I wouldn’t have worn the suit I wore for the first ‘Twilight’ premiere. It was too small,” he said. “I was also a little bit nervous, so I had a couple of drinks beforehand. I look like an old alcoholic.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

On ‘MTV First: Robert Pattinson,’ he opens up about ‘Twilight’ co-star. By Aly Semigran, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart clearly have a connection: From their onscreen chemistry in the “Twilight” saga to their real-life romance, the two stars undoubtedly see eye-to-eye on a lot of things. That is, however, except for how they approach their careers as performers. During his live 30-minute chat with us for “MTV First: Robert Pattinson,” the actor discussed the differences between his outlook on the acting process compared to KStew’s. “We just have different ways of thinking,” Pattinson explained. “I like the kind of cerebral aspect of things, and she has kind of an immediate emotional response to stuff every single time.” In fact, their approach to things in real life often reflects their decision-making as actors. “She can be thrown by something someone says and notices much more about people, whereas I just want to see the meaning of something,” the 24-year-old star of “Water for Elephants” explained. So, how does RPattz’s more-mental approach to acting bode with KStew’s responsiveness? Not too well, actually. While Pattinson admitted he’s someone who can’t take on a project until he entirely gets it , Stewart will be the first to point out what there is to “get” is actually right there in front of him. “She’s like, ‘Why can’t you understand? It’s obvious . You don’t know, you shouldn’t be an actor!’ ” RPattz described with a laugh. But, then again, his approach to his acting career is very much rooted in instinct. “I don’t want to just act for the sake of acting,” he told us. “If I’m not doing kind-of cool stuff, then I don’t want to be in front of people.” The star, who confessed he doesn’t even like having his picture taken, added, “All I want to do is make movies that I want to see. I’ve always tried to go for that and … you’ve got to go through lots of different hurdles to go to that level.” While he will continue to look for projects that challenge and interest him, he fully admitted he’s not the type of actor who has a deep-rooted passion for the craft. “I don’t know what that feeling is,” he said of the desire to act. “It’s like, ‘What do you want to do?’ ‘I want to read someone else’s lines right now! I want someone to film me saying something!’ It’s, like, really weird.” Are you surprised to hear Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart differ so much in their approach to acting?

‘Reese [Witherspoon] had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig,’ RPattz says of scene in ‘Water for Elephants.’ By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News We’ve heard Robert Pattinson talk about his love scenes before. “Lot of my crack in it!” he once laughed to us about what we can expect in the upcoming drama ” Bel Ami .” And we’ve even seen photographic evidence of his honeymoon boom-boom with Kristen Stewart in December’s first installment of ” Breaking Dawn .” But when it comes to Pattinson’s amorous encounters onscreen, his fans can never get enough. It’s no surprise then that one Twitter user submitted a question during “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” asking if the actor felt awkward doing love scenes with “Water for Elephants” co-star Reese Witherspoon. Awkward, no. Sick? Well, yes. “The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold,” Pattinson explained. “I’m not generally that awkward doing stuff apart from when I’ve got my belly coming out. But my nose is running all over the place and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.” “We were doing this really passionate love scene,” he added with a giggle. “It was really stupid. I guess I’m not that awkward anymore.” The key with any love scene, Pattinson went on to make clear, is that it has to make sense within the context of the story. You can’t just get freaky in front of the camera because someone thinks it’ll boost ticket sales. “It always depends. You’ve got to really know what you’re doing. If it’s just a sort of arbitrary love scene, it’d be quite difficult,” he said. And what of his scene with Stewart in “Breaking Dawn,” the one we got an early, feather-filled glimpse of in January? Rob hesitated before saying simply, “The one on ‘Breaking Dawn’ is pretty funny.” Check out everything we’ve got on ” Water for Elephants .” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Pattinson and Kristen Stewart fork over dough whenever they swear in front of their young co-star — which happens a lot. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News For those who weren’t able to tune into our “MTV First: Robert Pattinson” live interview on Friday (March 18), the range of topics covered during our exclusive 30-minute sit-down interview with the “Water for Elephants” and “Twilight” star ran the gamut from a look back at our first MTV interview with him, an RPattz hairstyle retrospective and, of course, a few details about “Breaking Dawn: Part 1.” We particularly wanted Pattinson’s thoughts about his young co-star Mackenzie Foy, who is playing the much buzzed-about role of Renesmee , Edward and Bella’s daughter.
