Robert Pattinson Chops His Trademark Locks

Apparently his old haircut was just too much of a pain in the neck.

Robert Pattinson, the 22-year-old breakout star of Twilight, recently chopped off his iconic locks. The teen world's favorite vampire is photographed here walking through London, England's Heathrow Airport.

Was shearing his boyish mop a ploy to get more manly roles now that he's found sudden success? The actor recently admitted he'd previously landed jobs as a child model due to his somewhat androgynous looks.

Pattinson's packed his trusty guitar with his luggage. Maybe the aspiring musician, who has a tune of his own on the Twilight soundtrack, can sing a sad ballad for the Twilighters who will be dressed in black and in mourning over the vampiric British stud's lost locks.

At any rate, Robert isn't the only Twilight star who has been altering his looks lately. Taylor Lautner, who stars as Jacob Black in the the film, told MTV last week that he's gained 19 pounds in a bid to keep his part in the film's sequel, New Moon.

Following suit, Kristen Stewart will most likely be given a bit of a makeover when she takes on playing Joan Jett in the upcoming biopic about The Runaways.

But the big question is still Robert Pattinson's hair.

Are you down with the new do, or mourning the lost locks?

i like it :P
as much as his old locks were gorgeous and a trademark of his, it kinda also made him look shaggy, like unkempt.

but then again, i guess that's all a part of the reason the girls loved him!

but i think he looks gorgeous now too.

totally random, but i didn't know how gorgeous his sister (the singer) Lizzy Pattinson was!

:P i guess the looks run in the family lol

anybody know what his other sister's name + job is?
(not to sound like a stalker or anything :P)

I personally think Rob pulls off watever looks he tries to.
He's amazing at everything.
Especially in The Bad Mother's Handbook where he was all nerdy with his glasses. He was absolutely adorable.

Who cares about Rob's hair. Keep Taylor as Jacob Black Summit or you'll lose half your viewers!

His hair, or lack thereof, is not an issue. He's an actor - and should be entitled to a wide variety of looks! Remember, it's his talent that keeps him working - his looks are just the perks we get to enjoy while he gives memorable characters a voice!
