It’s totally bizarre that this photo has skyrocketed to the height of the internet jungle today considering it was posted with an article in Interview Magazine on 11/18/08. I guess the upcoming New Moon release and surge of chaos surrounding Robert Pattinson has resulted in anything the sexy vampire touches turns to gold. The photo is extremely sexy, revealing Rob’s preference in underwear. Here are the highlights of the discussion with Pattinson from the article:

Life as a struggling actor: “We spent the -better part of a year just getting drunk every night,” Pattinson admitted. “I don’t know if that counts as ‘struggling.’ ”

Harry Potter Claim to Fame: Pattinson co-starred as Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter movies. . “It’s funny,” Pattinson said, “because teenage girls would say, ‘Oh, my God, you’re Cedric!’ It switched in a week to ‘Oh, my God, it’s Edward!’ Allegiances change so freely in the teen-girl world.”

He was a model: a former child model-he posed professionally from ages 12 to 15 (“when I stopped looking like a girl”). Pattinson has been dubbed “the next Jude Law” in the British press. “I don’t really see the similarity,” he said.

Since we’re on the topic of modeling, I’d like to share some of my favorite Robert Pattinson photo’s with you. Some shirtless, some pantless, some of him modeling when he was younger, smoking, laughing, posing, all sexy.
