He’s the world’s most famous and desired fictional fanged one, but perhaps Robert Pattinson’s turn as Edward Cullen is not all an act. Genealogists this week have revealed they believe the ‘Twilight’ star may have real vampire blood coursing through his veins.
According to these scientists, Robert is related to the notorious 15th Century ruler Vlad Tzepesch, known more popularly as “Vlad the Impaler”, who provided the inspiration for the title character in Bram Stoker’s classic ‘Dracula.’
“Tracing Pattinson’s family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unravelled created the perfect accompaniment to the ‘Twilight’ saga,” says one of the genealogists. “Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson’s life – making his story just as supernatural as the one he’s playing on screen.”
‘Eclipse’, the third installment in the ‘Twilight’ movie series, will open in New Zealand cinemas on 1 July.
