Actor Robert Pattinson has confessed that his personal hygiene is “disgusting”.

The ‘Twilight’ star mentioned that he does not change his clothes until they begin to stink.

“These jeans are a few days old, but the top is probably fresh because it gets to the point where even I can’t stand the air around me,” the Mirror quoted him as telling New! magazine.

He added: “I don’t know, my personal hygiene – it’s so disgusting! Really it’s just that I have very few clothes that I like and I’m travelling all the time, so I can’t really get any more.”

The actor, who became a heartthrob overnight with the vampire flick, revealed the secret behind his hairstyle too.

He said: “There’s a fascination with my hair too. It’s funny, because that’s all down to how I used to hate my dad wanting to brush my hair when I was a kid.

“I hated it! So it’s funny this whole thing with my hair is just from not brushing it!”
