Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson once chipped his tooth after flossing too hard, reveals co-star Bryce Dallas Howard.

The 28-year-old star has stepped into the shoes of actress Rachelle Lefevre as vampire Victoria in the third movie ‘Twilight: Eclipse’.

“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,”” the Mirror quoted Howard as telling OK! magazine.

However, Bryce, the eldest daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Ron Howard, is indeed impressed by Pattinson’s down-to-earth nature.

“I actually came out to him that I was totally nervous about meeting him. He’’s such a sweet young man, and there’’s such a distinctive difference between him and Edward Cullen,” she said.

“He does such a wonderful job embodying that character, and bringing that character to life. But when you meet him, he’’s such a down-to-earth, humble person, you feel bad freaking out around him,” she added.
