Jamie Campbell Bower, portrayer of Caius The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Grindelwald in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II, has more in common with Robert Pattinson than just Twilight and Harry Potter.

Obviously, they are co-stars in the Twilight series. Both portraying vampires (albeit very different vampires), the two will be seen together this winter in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Also, they were both involved in the Harry Potter franchise (Pattinson with Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix).

Final point of obviousness: they're both from London and they're both actors.

Yet, there is more to it than just that.

Now, it seems, the connection is deepened by a suggestion that Bower might be the world's next heart-throb.

Says the London Paper,

Campbell-Bower, who went to posh Bedales school and was a member of the National Youth Music Theatre, has already been seized upon by US gossip blogger Perez Hilton as the hottest new London export.

He has yet to come to mainstream attention, though he has appeared in Sweeney Todd opposite Johnny Depp and in Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla.

And he doesn't just act - he's also frontman in his own band, The Darling Buds (no, not the 80s Welsh indie outfit) and was formerly signed to Select Model Management.

Campbell-Bower's first role was playing the French mouse in a production of Alice in Wonderland. "I think I always sort of had the calling,” he says. "That sounds so f**king generic and cheesy, but it’s true! I always had the idea that I wanted to perform. I love being the centre of attention - and I always love talking about myself.”

Bower is adorable, and he is certainly building a strong foundation of films to enjoy. Much like Robert Pattinson, his work in Twilight and Harry Potter will only strengthen his star status, but will it make him a heart-throb? We shall see ... In the meantime, what do you think?
