Robert Pattinson is just as hot as Edward Cullen

You know how hot Robert Pattinson is in those photos you've seen of him shooting the next Twilight movie, New Moon? Duh, of course you do. Well rumors were swirling that those muscles weren't real. But now, you can breathe a sigh of relief. They're real!

How dare they?! But they were. People were saying Robert Pattinson used make-up effects on his body to enhance his physique for New Moon. So people were basically saying that Robert Pattinson isn't actually as hot as the character he plays, Edward Cullen.

But now (thank heavens), these rumors are  being put to rest by Robert's Twilight series co-star Kellan Lutz (another absolute hottie!). Kellan, who plays the burly bear-like vampire Emmett Cullen, says that Pattinson's muscles are completely natural and real as can be. He claims much of it is due to their other co-star Taylor Lautner, who put on a stiking 30 lbs of muchle for New Moon. Kellan says, "Taylor's been training Rob a lot, and that's why he's got such ripped abs. Rob's been working hard. He's trying to be the best he can be."

Robert Pattinson's real muscles are just one more reason we can't wait to see New Moon. As if we needed another.
