Robert Pattinson Claims His Crayon-Smelling Era is Over: 'You Become Less Scented as You Get Older'

Robert Pattinson says he doesn’t smell like a crayon anymore!

The 39-year-old Mickey 17 actor was asked about one of his stranger quotes recently, a reference to something he said in a 2020 interview with Allure. At the time, he said “lots of people” had told him he smelled “like a crayon.”

Five years later, a GQ interviewer asked Robert if he still smells like one.

“I think that something has changed. My body chemistry has changed. It’s very strange. But I 100% used to smell exactly like a crayon,” he explained.

Robert continues, “And it’s weird, you become less scented as you get older, I think. I don’t really notice my smell anymore. I used to have a very particular, pronounced smell.”

The Twilight alum went on to say that pre-crayon era, he had “a kind of vicious, vicious scent.”

“And then something, I think, when it became crayon-y, it was like something died,” he said. “I guess the seven-year cycle…. Maybe I was smelling of crayons when one self died, and when a new self was born, it was less scented.”

These days Robert says he doesn’t smell anything.

“It’s so weird. I have to get a lot to smell anything at all. Which I don’t understand. You can be going to the gym and stuff, I’m like, Okay, I don’t smell anymore,” he shared.

Is it possible he lost his sense of smell from COVID? Robert claimed he did lose it for a bit but has since gotten it back after it took him “months” to realize he lost it.

“I have it back now,” he added. “I think.”
