A Twilight Kiss

I didn’t realize that the National Enquirer report of Mike Walker about Robert Pattinson getting hit on the head by a piece of flying metal was being taken seriously until I saw that Pattinson Online was able to confirm with Rob’s camp that “This story is completely false. Robert has not been injured in any way and no version of the story ever occurred.”

As I emailed to ATwilightKiss reader Chi a couple of days ago, I did not believe the story for the following reasons:

I would have believed it more if Rob did the injury to himself. Knowing Rob’s Bella like predilection to injure himself and/or others, from pulling a groin muscle to slipping over his own feet, I would have believed the story more if Rob did the actual injury to himself rather than a “heavy metal sign from a post [smashing] into the back of his head.”

Rob himself describes his physical skills as “clumsy” in a clarin.com interview.

Rob also likes to define himself as clumsy. He notes that during one of the first scenes he badly hurt the heroine’s stunt double, when he was supposed to stop a car that was threatening to flatten her. But that was nothing. “On the first day that I had to do a scene with Kristen, I had to come in flying, attached to cables, and lift her off the ground. I missed and dropped her. It was painfully embarrassing,” he confesses. And he said it was the same for everything, even football. A fan of the Amsterdam football club in London, he stopped playing football at the end of secondary school because he always ended up injured.

I would have believed it more if Rob had been forced to stay in the hospital. Walker claims that “by the time medics arrived, the star was coherent and insisting he was fine. Taking no chances, the director canceled filming. Pattinson was ordered back to his hotel, but returned the next day – sporting a lump.”

Head trauma is a serious matter. The medics would have strongly recommended a stay in the hospital for observation, not go back to the hotel.

And, after the very recent Natasha Richardson tragedy, wherein the actress died unexpectedly from “hematoma due to blunt impact to the head” during a skiing accident, I think head injuries are uppermost in the minds of the entertainment industry, and they would be especially careful with the actor who is fueling a lot of attention on Twilight.
