Does Rob Make An Impact? You Bet Say UK Men

Rob was voted #17 in Ask Men's Top 49 Men of 2011:

Imagine everywhere you go women fawn at your feet: in fact you spend most of your time batting them off in between managing your £32 million fortune. Now imagine that at Forbes magazine has named you one of the most powerful celebs in the world and Times magazine has you down as one of the 100 most influential men in the world - oh and you're still only 25. Welcome to Robert Pattinson's world.

His role as the sensitive vampire Edward Cullen in 2008’s Twilight catapulted Londoner Pattinson’s face into stardom and into the high school lockers of girls the world over. He's raised the bar on how women measure good looks, and has also become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Not that we hate him for it or anything you understand. The jammy git.

Turns Out Even Mitt Romney Is A Huge Fan

Speaking to the Today show,  Mitt Romney admitted he read Twilight and liked it:

 “I thought it was fun,” Romney added. “I don’t like vampires personally, I don’t know any but you know my granddaughter was reading it and I thought, well this looks like fun so I read that.”

You can watch him talk about it below at about :35.

Romney has been a fan of the series for a while, even asking Rob for a picture when they both were guests on The View in 2010:

Romney wasn't oblivious to the importance of RPatz. Our former gov asked Pattinson to pose with him for this photo backstage, and apparently told the actor that he’s a big fan of Stephenie Meyer's teen vampire series.

Who knew.. fanboys rock!

Thanks Pattinsonstew :)
