Robert Pattinson becomes 'World's Sexiest Man'

For the second time in two years, Robert Pattinson ("Edward Cullen" in the Twilight Saga films) has been voted Glamour Magazine's "World's Sexiest Man."

According to Glamour, Pattinson came in first in the poll, and several other The Twilight Saga: Eclipse stars made the list as well.

For starters, Taylor Lautner ("Jacob Black" in the Twilight series films) received the number two spot. Then Eclipse stars Kellan Lutz ("Emmett Cullen") and Xavier Samuel ("Riley Biers") were chosen fourth and fifth.

The Twilight cast's domination of the top five is quite a coup for some, especially since celebrities like Johnny Depp were on the roster as well.

Still, Twilight fans are notorious for their ability to run a voter-driven poll, and in this case, four of the top five "World's Sexiest Men" were also Twilight stars!

In another, similar tradition, Entertainment Weekly's "Sexy Beast" poll is down to the final two, and it's Robert Pattinson as "Edward Cullen" versus Ian Somerhalder as "Damon Salvatore" (from The Vampire Diaries). The race is neck and neck (no pun intended) between the two, with Pattinson leading at 51%.

The list was tapered down from an original 64 contestants, and Ian Somerhalder thanked his Twitter followers for getting him there.

"That Pattinson guy will end up kicking my butt, however thanks for taking the time, that's really cool:)" he said.

Right now, it's a close race. Still, if the EW poll results come out anything like the Glamour poll's, Somerhalder's probably right.

    I like RPattz, but i personally don' think he should have won. He's CUTE, that's all he is. Sexy is too much beyond him.

    Totally agree!!!♥

  • I didn't know if I was Team Jacob or Team Edward when I saw "Eclipse," but when I saw "New Moon" and Taylor Lautner pulled his shirt over his head and the scene when he ran and became a wolf, I went "Jeezus." Robert Pattinson got me when Bella started talking about how disgusting it is to date an older man and he went "Mmmhmm" and kissed her. Sexy! Oh, I am smitten with those guys. Whoa. The casting directors DEFINITELY picked the right vampire and werewolf.

    Sorry, just don't see Robert Pattinson as the "world's sexiest man". Ian Somerhalder has him beat by a mile, no comparison there. As far as I am concerned, Ian Somerhalder is the "world's sexiest man"!
