R-Patz almost lost his ear while filming new flick

Washington -  Robert Pattinson has revealed that he struggled to keep his cool while getting a hair cut in ‘Cosmopolis’ because the actor who played his barber almost cut off his ear.

The British hunk portrays a suave billionaire financier, who is travelling across New York City's midtown Manhattan in a bid to get a hair cut.

And despite firing a gun and shooting several sex scenes for the project, the ‘Twilight’ star insisted that sitting down for a trim with co-star George Touliatos was the hardest.

"The guy (Touliatos) is obviously not a barber, and he was acting as well with a huge pair of scissors, and he had to cut so close to the skin. He almost cut my ear off,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling Mtv.com.

"That was kind of frightening, especially when I'm supposed to be this savant that's not (fazed),” he added.
