Robert Pattinson, steamy British heartthrob and star of the upcoming romantic vampire flick Twilight, has girls crawling all over him before the film even hits theatres.
How does a former no-name Brit go from a somewhat struggling actor to one of Hollywood's hottest?
While he did have a small role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Pattinson's shoot to stardom still doesn't quite add up.
Could it be that incredibly luscious pout he's always sporting? Or what about that signature, smoldering stare? Whatever it is, Robert has accrued a massive female following since word broke that he would be playing Edward Cullen, Twilight's inhumanly sexy vampire. Again, the film hasn't even been released yet!
BODY:
Robert has yet to be photographed showing much skin, but upon Twilight's release, fans will no doubt get an eyeful of what's beneath the clothing. Robert, a snowboarding, skiing and soccer enthusiast, surely put a good amount of effort into giving Twilight lovers their money's worth when they finally glimpse of the stud on the big screen sans shirt.
BITES:
Robert, a lover of all sorts of fast food, just can't get enough of those juicy In-N-Out burgers. Perhaps that's the reasoning behind his move from Britain to the U.S.
BASH:
With Robert's sudden launch to fame, the star has become a fixture on the Hollywood party circuit. Making stops at A-list events such as the Nylon Magazine launch party for 90210, the MTV Movie Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards, the heartthrob proved that he hasn't let the fame go to his head (yet) by humbly engaging in a few red carpet interviews. Robert has also been frequenting Hollywood hot spots, such as Teddy's and Le Deux, where he basks in his new role as a ladies' man.
BUZZ:
If the above dirt didn't satisfy your Robert Pattinson craving, check out these fun facts about your favorite vampire!
- Jack Nicholson is his acting inspiration.
- He started playing the piano when he was three-years-old and still dreams of becoming a professional pianist. He has also mastered the guitar.
- His sisters used to dress him up as a girl and call him "Claudia."
- His favorite curse word is tike, an offensive British term which refers to a "crude, ill-bred person who lacks culture or refinement."
- He loves American Idol.
- He hates when women wear UGGs (so if you want to be the next Mrs. Pattinson, it's recommended that you toss those bulky boots in the nearest trash can).
- He had his first kiss when he was 12-years-old.
Robert Pattinson is sure to explode into the a-list stratosphere the moment Twilight hits the silver screen. Don't miss his debut in a leading role, chances are you won't be disappointed.

hahaha, all wrong. He's not into sports and he doesn't workout
I always heard he liked sports... Either way he looks dam good to me... Lets hope he can act as good as he looks, I have never seen anything he has been in but he did just win Best Actor in a Feature at the 2008 Strasbourg International Film Festival, for his role as Art in How To Be.
Haha. Any article that says he loves sports like soccer and such, shows that the writer just swiped some "yet to be corrected" info off his IMDb page or something. Every true Rob fan balks when they see that, lol
Watch any interviews much?
what an idiotic article....
At least write about interesting stuff not rehashed old hearsay. Rob's new film Little Ashes where he plays Salvador Dali will be released in January 2009. It looks awesome. He's also just won a best actor award for playign Art in the indie film How To Be.
You are so late to the party on Rob Pattinson. About time you added some phoots. More please. He is goign to be as big as Depp, Di caprio and Bale.
The Depp's of this world have to start somewhere and now its Rob Pattinson's time. We need young new actors to come forward to be the future Depp's. Rob is a wonderful actor and has lots of charisma, screen presence and versatility. He'll be a huge star and because of his acting.
No. He's not the sports-active type. He said so himself when he was interviewed for the Harry Potter movie. He'd rather play pool, darts, cards -- haha! He's so refreshingly real for a Hollywood heartthrob. He's not a phony like the rest of them.
Here are a few FACTS : Little Ashes Rob's new film in which he plays Salvador Dali will be released in the US in January 2009. A trailer will be issued in October 2008. Here's a short synopsis
In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university's social elite - Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico - who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friends, Margarita. Finaly, in the face of his friends' preoccupations - and Federico's growing renown as a poet - Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and he draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship undreamt of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls. And then one night, in the phosphorescent water, it becomes something else
Rob just won best actor at the Strasbourg Film festival for playing Art in How To Be. :-
A wry coming-of-age comedy about twenty-something Art (Robert Pattinson) who gets dumped by his girlfriend, moves back in with his parents and hits a quarter-life crisis. Art uses inheritance money to indulge in retail and new age therapies only to end up enlisting the help of an eccentric self-help guru, Dr. Ellington (Powell Jones). Arts painfully funny journey to define his existence brings to the fore the dysfunctional relationship he has with his parents and the importance in his life of his odd-ball friends. How To Be is a timely look at increasingly common phenomena: grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help.
