Robert Pattinson has revealed that filming gay love scenes for Little Ashes was a painful experience - because he and co-star Javier Beltran refused to shave before locking lips.
As bisexual artist Salvador Dali, the Twilight star got to knock stubble with Javier, who plays the surrealist painter's lover, Federico Garcia Lorca.
Rob says: "We both refused to shave before doing it...it's very uncomfortable in terms of scratching each other with our stubble, it made me feel sorry for women."

The heartthrob – who is currently shooting vampire sequel New Moon in Vancouver, Canada – also says that filming the man-on-man action scenes was a test of his acting skills, although he was able to channel his nerves into the role.
He says: "I wanted to do (gay love scenes) to break down what I thought I could do, but Dali is incredibly self-conscious throughout the movie so I thought all the nude scenes and stuff worked with me being nervous anyway."
