The
Twilight
Saga may have made "R-Patz" a household name, but long gone are the days when he was just seen as a (very) pretty face. Named among
TIME
magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, and drawing critical acclaim for recent screen performances, he is carving a reputation as a serious actor, artist and ambassador as well as a sex symbol. From supporting charities against child trafficking through selling his artwork, to campaigning to raise cancer awareness, it’s clear he has a heart of gold. And with critically acclaimed performances in more mature movies like futuristic western
The Rover,
and an Oscar-bait role as T.E. Lawrence in
Queen of the Desert
on the horizon, there can be no doubt that Robert Pattinson is set to be the modern-day matinee idol of the decade.
