Now this puts a new meaning in blood relatives. Just in time for the Eclipse release, which comes out next week, Robert Pattinson has discovered he has a very Twilight-appropriate family member. Genealogists assert that the 24-year-old heartthrob is a distant relative of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
In addition to discovering the relationship between Pattinson and the Transylvanian leader (whose real name is Vlad III Dracula), the researchers at Ancestry.com also discovered Pattinson is a distant cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry of the British royal family.
Related to royalty and immortal blood suckers... no wonder chicks everywhere love him. It also may explain why he's so good at portraying the pale yet sexy Edward. I just don't want to hear about who Taylor Lautner is related to.
