Wearing a white T-shirt topped with a green jacket, he stood still while a crew member hosed him down from head to toe.

Also pictured around the shooting location that day was Rachel McAdams. The "Sherlock Holmes" actress, however, was not involved during the filming of the raining scene. Thus, she managed to stay dry while chatting with friends outside her trailer.

But he was joking when he said, "It's very torrid, very graphic, really intense I don't know if we can show it at 8 o'clock."

British actor Daniel Radcliffe is puzzled by his reputation as a Hollywood regular - because he had never been to Los Angeles before the 2007 premiere of the fifth "Harry Potter" movie.

Beside hitting the party with the new facial fuzziness, Pattinson didn't even try to dress up either.
