Was Robert Pattinson's Body Language Rude?

Below are Patti's insights for HollywoodLife on the body language of Robert Pattinson's during a recent interview in Sydney where he had just landed for the Breaking Dawn Part 2 All Around the World fan event.  

Patti's Insights:
The hand to head photo. He is not out of it. He still has the energy to look at the camera. Notice the slightly protruding pursed lips,  that indicate he has something to say, combine that with the rest of the gesture cluster, the red eyes, lowered eyelids, lowered head in hand and it means he is tired of having to keep how he is really feeling in.

Hand to head. What he is thinking and feeling and keeping inside hurts, as you can tell by the scratching claw like hold to the head. He knows he needs to be on for the camera but he feels he needs to protect himself notice the hand and arm across the crotch with this fingers cupped inward, this particular blocking behavior shows that he needs show protection of his sexual feelings but not totally closed down.
