7 Stupid Celebrity Injuries

Rob Pattinson’s bum-strain and more…

Can vampires get injured in the bum?

Robert Pattinson reports that he strained his rear muscles while trying to lift Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart for the first time.

Which got us thinking: how many silly celebs have been injured in the line of duty, and what could they have done to avoid it?

The film: Twilight (2008)

The star: Robert Pattinson

The injury: Sexy hair? Check. Good looks? Check? Vampire strength? Not so much check.

“I got injured on the first shot of my first day on Twilight. I lifted Kristen and ripped my arse cheek.

I had to get a bum massage for the cheek."

How could it have been avoided? While we hate to suggest he’s a big weakling for not being able to lift Stewart’s lightweight body with ease, we’re not sure that sexy vampire image would have survived him having to wear a medical truss for the scene.

So perhaps he should have warmed upa little better. According to Bill Hartman at Men’s Health, he should avoid stretching immediately before exertion. “Stretch twice a day, every day. Any less frequently and you won't maintain your gains in flexibility - which is why most flexibility plans don't work. Twice a day may seem like a lot, but each "session" will require as little as 4 minutes of your time.”
