    I am reading a lot of Canada bashing in the comments. I've lived my whole life in Canada, so I know there isn't a grain of truth to it.....but why would Americans/Brits say such a thing?

    Free health care, low crime rate (compared to America and the UK), unspoiled natural beauty, amazing mountain snowboarding/skiing, national pass time that isn't baseball, wicked indie bands, lax enforcement of marijuana laws, beautiful people everywhere, amazing real estate due to endless unoccupied space (and yes, cosmetic dentistry)....it goes on and on.
    I got it!
    You guys are JEALOUS! #robertpattinson

    I must say, I think when you're surrounded by screaming tweens it might behoove you to remember that there's precious little art involved in the reason for their screaming. It's manufactured desire - no need to gnash your fangs about it. Didn't the HP kids acknowledge that it was the books/world of HP that was really the focus - they just happened to inhabit the characters? I think this guy needs a hobby. #robertpattinson

Also, for a Brit, his sense of "humour" is lamelicious at best. He's kind of an itty-bitty ENORMOUS disgrace to the blessed land that gave us Monty Python.. #robertpattinson

    Where in Canada has he been hanging out? I'd say we're about even with the Yankees on the orthodonture front. As with many countries, really, really bad teeth are usually indicative of poverty, since our healthcare doesn't cover teeth. #robertpattinson

    @debo matar la zombi goldberry83: They filmed in a lot of backwoods areas.

    I mean, just like the USA, Canada has the urban and suburban and sophisticated rural populations,but we also have those who prefer the peacefulness of the backwoods and who are probably less likely to partake in dental work beyond the most basic. So I mean, RP may have had to deal with a whole 1 in 10 people who had bad teeth while in backwoods Canada, whereas in Hollywood, it would be about the same as a Canadian city - what, 1 in 1000? - and in Britain, well, nobody cares.

    I kid, I kid. About Britain. #robertpattinson

    it would not be unfair to suggest that cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics, like civil litigation, is something most canadians* have not embraced with the same gusto as many americans.

    this is not a slight.

    -sigh- I really don't understand it. Toronto is filled with some awfully lovely people.

    I was in Edmonton last May, and I was visibly taken aback at the vitriol aimed at my hometown. Like, what am I supposed to do with that information? Say thank you? Apologize? For what? #robertpattinson

It must be surreal for him in the US entertainment industry; I'm sure he gets lots of knocks about his teeth. Compared to the US tooth fixation, ALL other countries are "bad". #robertpattinson

    Having read some of these comments, I would venture to air out the old maxim that Americans are incapable of understanding irony (and thus the British sense of humour), but that would just be too obvious. #robertpattinson

    @chinaplate: Perhaps there needs to be some sort of truce between our fair nations. If you promise to tolerate our lack of sophistication with regards to your collective wit, we'll tolerate your collective lack of dental hygiene (which we find incredibly offensive! Please understand I'm only pointing this out to illustrate how diplomatic Americans can be.) #robertpattinson

    This is very surprising to me. I'm Canadian and I can't think of anyone from my generation (I'm 20) who has crooked teeth (thanks to the lovely contraption known as braces). The few times I've visited Europe (including sparkly vamp's country), I immediately noticed how "bad" the teeth were. This obviously isn't a competition between the Motherland & it's colony; I do think, however, that while R-Patz may have straight teeth, he needs to buy himself some glasses. #robertpattinson

    @melabel: Maybe it's just because my mom is a dental hygienist, or because I've spent most of my natural life wearing some sort of orthodontic contraption or other, but I always thought we Canadians had some pretty great teeth. I always thought the focus on straight, white teeth was more of a North American thing, because I've seen some pretty godawful teeth on my travels off the continent. #robertpattinson
