One of the hottest events at San Diego's Comic-Con this week was the upcoming film "Twilight" starring Kristen Stewart ("Into the Wild," "Panic Room") and Robert Pattinson as star-crossed young lovers, one of whom just happens to one of the bloodsucking undead, based on the romantic horror novel by Stephenie Meyer.

You may recall Rob Pattinson as Cedric Diggory in the fourth "Harry Potter" film. He also played Rawdy Crawley in "Vanity Fair" with Reese Witherspoon. He's a stage-trained, London-born actor (born May 13, 1986). 

Los Angeles Times online reporter Denise Martin chatted backstage with the hunky Pattinson, whom some are comparing to the vampire world's John Lennon/Paul McCartney, before he went onstage to talk to the fans who had swarmed like Beatle fans to the event.

Asked if he had a favorite superhero: Pattinson gave a slightly naughty reply, "Spider-Man. I like the outfit; I like a little bit of spandex."

Oh, don't we all, don't we all.

Check out the interview HERE and then enjoy the trailers below.

Nothing like a sexy, dangerous bad boy to get all the girls' (and guys') blood boiling.

Whew, it's gonna be hard to wait until December for this bloody delight. Guys, sharpen your incisors. And parents, you better lock up your daughters. Drac's back!

Rob Pattinson is a brilliant actor - I dont think all Twilight fans realise that yet but they will and he'll be even more popular. I really think he has a chance of being the first British film actor to be at the very top of Hollywood like Pitt and Damon. He's only just turned 22 so has plenty of time to develop further. Looking forward to seeing him as Salvador Dali in Little Ashes in October and a British film called How To Be which looks awesome. He has charisma, screen presence and an intensity that leaps off the screen but is also a fine comedy actor. Watch him in the Bad Mother's Handbook and see him play the ultimate geek.

Whats charming about him is that he doesnt have a clue how gorgeous he is. He's also a fine musician so we really are being spoilt arent we.


robert pattison is sexy as as i dont no what :). haha what i would give to see him in a pair of spandix


I like Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, he is perfect for this character, very sweet and happy boy too!!

Robert has really outdone himself in channelling Edward by not only looking the part but portraying his layered emotions so perfectly.

I'm looking forward to seeing Robert in Twilight and Little Ashes.

He's also a stunning musician. Guys, learn from RPattz. He is the perfect man,


I can´t wait to see the movie

Comic-con was amazing¡¡


He's just not gorgeous he can actually ACT.---stage, screen, tv, drama, comedy, classics, and can compose music, play instruments and sing.


Wendy, I completely agree. I too watched him in The Bad Mother's handbook, and his geeky acting was superb! I cringed whenever he carried out a particularly nerdy action.

Also, there's something incredibly sexy about a gorgeous guy who has no idea how good-looking he is! I wish more guys were like that. Not to mention his hilariously sarcastic sense of humor and his talented music skills... Rob is a lot more than a pretty face - and that is why so many girls are drawn to him.


I agree that people arent aware of how good Rob is as an actor. The synopsis of Little Ashes looks amazing. Very sexy. I'd love to read an interview with Rob on that film.

Here's the description
