Robert Pattinson "almost knocked" himself out while filming 'The Rover'.
The 28-year-old actor admits he came very close to badly injuring himself while shooting the opening scene of his new movie 'The Rover' alongside his co-star Guy Pearce last year.
Speaking to a small audience at a Meet The Filmmakers event at the Apple Store, Regent Street in central London, he explained: "I like to do anything that allows me having to not act at all, so our first scene when Guy's throwing me around with the car, I actually almost knocked myself out, letting myself go."
The British star plays a young southern American hunk named Rey in the "dark and dirty" Western, who fled to Australia 10 years before following an economic crash.
Robert wasn't "entirely sure" what accent he had developed for the role, but insists dialect is the first thing he thought about when he was offered the part.
He said: "I spent a lot of time thinking about the character, 10 or 11 months from the audition, so before we started it was fairly close to me.
"With this one, I started with the voice. Trying to find little vocal patterns, gimmicks, coming up with a subtext, and creating little twerks."

Elizabeth Hurley has appealed to her fans to help her name two pigs she has been given.
The brunette actress - who turned 49 years old on June 10 - took to her Twitter account to post a picture of her new pair of porkers gifted to her as a belated birthday present, but after struggling to come up with monikers for her hefty hogs, she has asked her 460,000 followers for help.
In a message attached to a picture of her sizeable swines, she wrote: "These sweethearts are coming to live with me soon. A belated birthday present from a dear friend. Help with names? (sic)"
One Twitter user, who uses the handle JamesJourn, came up with a particularly clever pork-based suggestion to name her prized piglets after the actors Kevin Bacon and Jon Hamm, in a comical nod to the bacon and ham references in the stars' monikers.
He wrote: "Surely they've got to be called Kevin Bacon and Jon Hamm? #porkers (sic)"
Another Twitter user made reference to one of Elizabeth's former partners Hugh Grant, suggesting: "Hugh Grunt?"
One comical tweeter poked fun at another of Elizabeth's exes, Shane Warne, by suggesting she could name one of the huge hogs after the retired cricketer.
He wrote: "One should be Shane....for sure! (sic)"
Elizabeth's request even attracted celebrity interest as E.L. James - who wrote the hugely successful 'Fifty Shades of Grey' book, which has since been turned into a film - wrote: "Block and Tackle?"
The idea clearly made the 'Austin Powers' star laugh as she replied: "Ha Ha. good luck with the movie. Can't wait to see it xx (sic)"
Following the many suggestions, Elizabeth returned to the social networking site to thank her fans for their ideas before going away to think carefully about her big pig decision.
She tweeted: "Many thanks for all your suggestions for naming my little piggies. I'll let you know the verdict."

A source told Dish Network: "Charlize came in so p***ed off after Tia went to the tabloids about her, and she demanded we bar Tia from ever coming back. When the manager refused, Charlize just got angrier and said she'd go to the top to make it happen."
The source claimed Charlize said: "This nobody who was famous for a minute 20 years ago can complain to the tabloids about me but I can't expect you to protect me from hangers-on in your studio?"
Charlize's complaint comes after Tia, 36, claimed the rolled her eyes and said "Oh my God" when she tried to introduce herself to the 39-year-old actress at one of the classes.
She added: "I wasn't over-the-top. I know how to approach another celebrity. Charlize was just mean. I'm just being honest."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds love making gifts for one another.
The couple will celebrate their second wedding anniversary next month and will exchange handmade presents to mark the special day.
Blake told E! News: "Normally, we make something for each other. Because that's something that lasts and isn't something you just found and bought in a store."
The 26-year-old actress recently launched her own lifestyle website, Preserve, and admits her 37-year-old spouse has been "incredibly involved" in the project as she trusts his taste so much.
She said: "He's incredibly involved. We're involved in everything that the other does. But he's influenced my taste so much on things like home design, things that I never loved before I now love because of him."
The former 'Gossip Girl' actress is particularly pleased that Ryan is willing to "challenge" her when he disagrees with something, rather than just letting her go her own way.
She added: "There is nothing that goes through that I don't run by him.
"On the site, when I'm doing photo kills I'll say, 'What photos do you think? This one or do you think that one?' And I love that he challenges me. He's someone that I trust when he challenges me.
"And sometimes I do what I like more anyway and sometimes I feel that was the right way and then other times I think, 'Oh, shoot I should have gone with those photos or I should have gone with that writer.'
"That's nice. It's nice to have a partner in everything."

John Cleese's daughter Camilla branded her new stepmother a "child" during a comedy set.
The budding comedienne took many shots at her father and the rest of her family whilst performing at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, most notably against Jennifer Wade, who, at 42, is 30 years her 'Fawlty Towers' star spouse's junior.
During her set, 30-year-old Camilla - whose mother Barbara Threntham was John's second wife - joked: "Recently we got a new child in the family - my new stepmom.
"My dad, about two years ago, married lucky lady number four, his soulmate du jour. She's great, we actually have a lot in common - we're both six foot, blonde and inappropriately aged to be married to my dad."
However, Camilla insisted she thinks Jennifer - who married her dad in 2012 - is "really nice".
She added: "But she's really nice and I'm not so that's different."
Camilla's late mother was married to the actor - who was her second husband - from 1981 to 1990, and the comic joked about the fact they have both married multiple times.
She told the crowd: "They've been married for almost 42 years - to seven different people. Not that the same time, we're not Mormon or anything like that, not even close.
"If most people have a family tree, we have a family tumbleweed, it just keeps rolling along picking up dirt and debris, nobody knows how they are related to anyone else, we just know not to f*** each other, because we're not Mormon."
She later subtly referred to her dad's third wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger, as the devil or Lucifer.
The psychotherapist divorced the 'Monty Python' star in 2008 and secured a hefty sum in the settlement.
Camilla said: "[Jennifer] is so much cooler than the last one. Her name was Lucy ... fer. She was a treat."

Antonio Banderas wants to age naturally.
'The Expendables 3' actor - who split from second wife Melanie Griffith, the mother of his 17-year-old daughter Stella, in June -insists he won't be undergoing any cosmetic surgery to prevent the onset of wrinkles as he gets older.
Speaking to The Times newspaper, the 53-year-old acting veteran said: "I'm not going to touch my face. I'm not going to put Botox and all that s**t in it. No, no, no. I will get older naturally."
Antonio's handsome face has previously secured him leading roles in films such as 'The Legend of Zorro' and the documentary 'Truth or Dare'.
The latter starred Madonna as a young woman lusting after the actor and despite rumours that he resented his portrayal in the documentary, Antonio insists he saw it as one big "advertisement" for his good looks.
He explained: "I was at a hotel in Los Angeles and she invited me over for dinner where she handed me a VHS of the film and said, 'If you don't like it, tell me and I will take you out of the film. But I think you are gorgeous, I like what you do and so I am kind of being a girl fantasising about the possibility of having you' ... and I saw it, and all I thought was, 'Wow. This is like an advertisement for me.' "
Content with ageing naturally, the Hollywood star revealed that he's also happy with his view of the future.
He reflected: "I used to be searching for something and I didn't know what it was but now I just say, 'I'm fine. I'm OK. I'm not searching for anything. And that is when things start coming, and it all starts to happen again."

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "He's really taken with her. He was spending a lot of time with her and got her info. He is planning on seeing her again."
However, the insider insists Orlando - who has three-year-old son Flynn with Miranda - isn't looking for a serious relationship.
The source added: "He is not looking to settle down just yet."
During his vacation, Orlando, 37, was spotted cuddling Australian singer-and-model Erica Packer - whose ex-husband James Packer is rumoured to be dating Miranda - but the insider insisted they are just friends.
The source said: "There's nothing going on [there]. That was platonic."
