Robert Pattinson recently revealed a surprising personal detail: he used to smell like crayons! The actor, known for his roles in films like Mickey 17 and Twilight, first shared this odd confession in an interview with Allure back in February 2020, explaining that many people had commented on his unusual scent.
In a recent interview with GQ, he was asked about his past confession and shared that he no longer smells like crayons. He attributes this change to a personal spiritual awakening.
He remarked that he felt different, like something inside him had shifted. He found it odd, but insisted he used to smell distinctly of crayons.

It’s strange, but I think people lose their distinct scent as they age. I personally don’t really notice my own smell anymore. I used to have a very noticeable and unique smell – it was kind of like crayons.
Initially, the smell was really harsh and unpleasant. Then, when it started to smell like crayons, it was as if something had gone bad or lost its freshness.

It feels like I go through phases about every seven years. Perhaps when one part of my personality fades, it leaves a certain impression, and when a new side emerges, it feels different, almost like a change in scent.
He mentioned he couldn’t smell anything at the moment, which he found strange. He explained that it takes a very strong scent for him to notice anything, saying, ‘I don’t even smell anything anymore.’ He compared it to going to the gym, noting he often doesn’t smell anything at all then.
The actor said it’s possible he lost his sense of smell because of COVID-19 when asked about it.
He explained that it felt like he couldn’t smell anything at all. He realized he’d actually lost his sense of smell, but it took months for him to notice. He believes it’s returned now, though he isn’t entirely sure.

Is he telling the truth, or just joking around as usual? He’s known for admitting he sometimes invents stories during interviews for his own entertainment, but if anyone would actually seem like they smell like crayons, it’s probably Pattinson.
I was reading an interview with this actor – he’s filming Here Comes the Flood right now, which is awesome! – and they asked him about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Odyssey movie. His answer was… surprisingly simple. He just said, ‘I saw a sheep.’ Seriously, that’s all he’d reveal! It’s so mysterious and has me even more excited for the film!
