Robert Pattinson reportedly chipped his tooth by flossing it so hard.
The Twilight star is said to be so keen to dispel rumours he has bad personal hygiene, he damaged one of his gnashers by cleaning them so thoroughly.
His co-star for the next film in the Twilight franchise, Eclipse, Bryce Dallas Howard, said he confessed to her.
She said: "He was like, 'Oh, I have to go to the dentist.' And I was like, 'Oh no, what happened? Just a check-up?' And he was like, 'No, I chipped a tooth.'
"I was like, 'How?' And he was like, 'Flossing.' Who does that? I don't even floss. So he's hygienic. Trust me."
Last year rumours spread from the set of Twilight Saga: New Moon that British actor Pattinson doesn't wash often enough.
A source said: "He stinks. I mean, it's awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy. He completely reeks."
While Howard dispelled such rumours, she added she was daunted by meeting the 23-year-old actor, who portrays vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, but he helped her overcome her fears.
She added to New York magazine: "I actually came out to him that I was totally nervous about meeting him. He's such a sweet young man, and there's such a distinctive difference between him and Edward Cullen.
"He does such a wonderful job embodying that character, and bringing that character to life. But when you meet him, he's such a down-to-earth, humble person, you feel bad freaking out around him."
