Did Robert Pattinson hurt his head on the set of New Moon?

The British heartthrob reportedly required medical attention after a metal sign smashed into his head on the set of the new movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon, currently filming just outside Vancouver Canada.

Robert was left dazed and bruised when the advertising sign knocked him over.

“Robert had just started shooting a scene when a gust of violent wind tore a heavy metal sign from a post. It shot across location so fast no one even managed to shout a warning at Robert. It hit him on the head and he dropped to the ground lying deadly still. Cast and crew ran to help,” a tipster tells The National Enquirer.

Worried crew members immediately placed ice packs on Robert’s head to prevent any swelling. Although the 22-year-old star insisted he was fine, producers gave the cast the rest of the day off.

“Robert finally came around. The crew put ice on the knot-sized lump on his head and by the time medics arrived he was coherent. But director Chris Weitz still cancelled filming and ordered Robert to return to his hotel. He came back to set the next day, but was still sporting a lump.”
