Pattinson bad hygiene rumours denied

One of Robert Pattinson's co-stars has leapt to his rescue over claims he suffers from poor personal hygiene

The Twilight hunk is said to have bad body odour - with one industry insider telling the media last year that he "stinks".

However, his Eclipse co-star Bryce Dallas Howard has blasted the rumours.

She told New York Magazine, "(He) was like, 'Oh, I have to go to the dentist.' And I was like, 'Oh no, what happened? Just a check-up?' And he was like, No, I chipped a tooth.'

"I was like, 'How?' And he was like, 'Flossing.' Who does that? I don't even floss. So he's hygienic. Trust me."
