The actor, who plays a circus worker in the new flick, admits his sexy shots with Reese, 34, aren't as saucy as they look on screen.
In an interview for MTV First: Robert Pattinson, the 24-year-old said: 'The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold. I'm not generally that awkward doing stuff apart from when I've got my belly coming out.
'But my nose is running all over the place and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.
'We were doing this really passionate love scene. It was really stupid. I guess I am not that awkward anymore.'
