Named Sexiest Man on the Planet by Britain's Heat Magazine, Robert Pattinson says he is cool with the newly-attached predicate. "I'm not really afraid of it though because I don't really know how to play up that aspect of it. I don't know if I could ever really be cast in a heartthrob role really - apart from Twilight, which I didn't really know was a heartthrob role. I really don't feel I am one," he explains.
Nabbing the particular title, Robert beats Hollywood A-list actors, including Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Zac Efron. "Robert is obviously very easy on the eye, but a lot of his popularity has to be down to the character Edward he plays in Twilight - strong, brooding and tortured, basically most women's fantasy boyfriend," says the magazine's editor, Julian Linley.
Robert Pattinson, who is currently filming his upcoming film "Remember Me," previously told reporters that he considered his new found fame after starring as Edward Cullen in "Twilight" strange. "I just don't get the immediate-recognition thing. I was at the Frankfurt airport yesterday, and people just immediately know who you are. It's never, 'Are you ...?' It's just like, 'Can I have a photo?'," he claimed.
