Since premiering in Europe last September, Robert Pattinson's steamy Romain Gavras–directed fragrance commercial for Dior Homme has generated more than 15 million views on YouTube. When the black-and-white short, starring the 27-year-old Twilight-saga heartthrob makes its American television debut in February, during the Olympics, that number should increase exponentially. Pattinson's steely glances are being repurposed to promote Dior Homme Eau for Men, a fresh new grapefruit and coriander-spiked riff on the heady, iris-laden original scent that hits shelves exclusively in the U.S. in February.
"I like trying to do ambitious things," says Pattinson. Pairing the Parisian luxury brand with Gavras's"violent and visceral" approach was his idea. (The director's infamous 2010 video for M.I.A's "Born Free" was pulled from YouTube for its graphic content.) "That's what got me really enthusiastic about the campaign, that [Dior] wasn't shying away from anything." Pattinson's beauty contract has afforded him a few other perks. "I was a brush-your-teeth-and-have-a-shower kind of guy. I can't tell if it's because of my association with Dior or because I'm older, but I've started moisturizing," he says, calling out the brand's Dermo System Repairing Moisturizing Emulsion as his current skin salve of choice. With a tinge of sarcasm, he adds, "It's been a quite profound change in my life." As for the fragrance he fronts, Pattinson likes it best in shower-gel form. Other musts include Nudie jeans and "old Hanes T-shirts," he says. "There are stores that sell these sweat-stained T-shirts for like $80. It's a weird cult!"
Up next for the British-born star is director David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars—a "darkly comedic Hollywood satire ghost story," according to Pattinson. He also has projects with Werner Herzog and Anton Corbijn in the works. "This year, I'm trying to see what my niche is."

Last year ELLE interviewed Kristen Stewart, and being a beauty interview the discussion naturally turned to hair. Back then she told us that her next experimental hairstyle would be cornrows, the exact hairstyle she debuted at the Sundance film festival this weekend,You see Stewart isn’t afraid of experimenting with her hair for the sake of her art, 'I’m pretty much open to anything – if I really loved the part I’d do anything. You know, hair grows, relatively speaking it doesn’t take that long in exchange for a good experience so I think it’s worth it,”' she told ELLE UK. 'I’ve been blonde, dark, I’ve had reddish hair, short, long. I run the gamut, you know”'.
Despite her dedication to the cause, in her own time she prefers low-commitment styles that aren’t so try-hard. 'Last year everyone started shaving the side of their head. I’m shooting for a couple of days in New York but then at the end of November I’m done for the year. I’m going to get a couple of tight cornrows put in. It almost gives the impression of no hair so I’m stoked about that,' said the star. 'I think a shaved head is a little forced, but the cornrows gives you the effect without the commitment.'
