In disguise: Tom Cruise reprised his Tropic Thunder alter ego, Les Grossman, in a new promotional video for MTV Movie Awards


Heartthrob Robert Pattinson recently admitted he rarely washes his hair, and it has proved good fodder for a new promotional clip for the MTV Movie Awards.
The Twilight star teamed up with Tom Cruise for a spoof video ahead of the June ceremony.

Cruise stars in the clip as his Tropic Thunder alter ego, Les Grossman, complete with bald head and bulging tummy.

Dirty work: Cruise encourages Pattinson to keep his 'filthy hair' just as it is


As the foul-mouthed movie mogul, Cruise issues some rather colourful advice to Pattinson, who begins the clip by discussing his plans to overhaul his scruffy look for the awards.

Pattinson says: 'I'm thinking about cleaning up a little bit, maybe get a suit, have a shave, maybe wash my hair.'

In full Grossman mode, Cruise tells the star he'll arrange a hairdresser to give him a blow wave, before adding: 'And then I'll give you the number of a good plumber because you've just flushed your f****** career down the toilet!

'You're filthy hair made you a star! Your filthy hair made me hundreds of millions of dollars and sent my fat-a**** kid to space camp four times!'

He continues: 'So what kind of shampoo are you going to use?'

To which Pattinson replies: 'Dirt?'

The pair then hug as Cruise shouts: 'That's my dirty dog!'


Cut! A separate video shows Les Grossman directing Tom's famous Risky Business scene


A little bit cheeky: Grossman gets to grips with the scene


In a separate video, Cruise is shown filming his famous dance scene in Risky Business, but this time with Grossman from directing.

Guests will include Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, Taylor Lautner, Chris Rock, Steve Carell and Cameron Diaz.

MTV Movie Awards takes place on Sunday, June 6 on MTV.
