Top 49 Most Influential MenComments Off

Rob has been honored by AskMen.com as a part of their Top 49 Most Influential Men list.

Every year, we put together a prestigious ranking called the Top 49 Most Influential Men, and one of the honorees this year is Robert Pattinson. We are very excited to share this news with you and, hope that you can do the same among all his supporters and Twilight fans. This year there were over 500,000 votes cast, making it a big honor to be included on the Top 49.

See the entire list here. Rob comes in at number 44.

The success of a little movie called Twilight turned Robert Pattinson into the British vampire equivalent of a young Brad Pitt. He’s impossible to avoid. In 2009, he crashed the Academy Awards to present the Oscar for Best Romantic Feature, and then showed up at the MTV Movie Awards to accept three awards: Breakthrough Performance Male, Best Fight and Best Kiss, which he shared with his costar Kristen Stewart.

The Twilight mania followed Robert Pattinson to Vancouver, B.C., for the filming of the second installment in the saga, New Moon. When he wasn’t sharing screen time with his hot costars Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Bryce Dallas Howard, he was using bodyguards to protect him from the advances of adoring women, some of whom had traveled to the city in hopes of meeting him. It wasn’t any easier for Robert Pattinson in New York, during the filming of 2010’s Remember Me. He couldn’t avoid the eyes of AskMen.com editors when we spotted him at the posh NYC clubs, and he nearly got smacked by a taxi cab when a mob of screaming fans gave chase. It’s not easy being Hollywood’s latest hunky vampire.
