Robert Pattinson is a distant relative of dracula! Now, is this a case of fiction blending with life, because Robert plays a vampire in the movies? Apparently, this is the real deal on the family tree.
More pictures of Robert after the bite…
Someone else might have looked up the family tree, because we know Robert’s been a little too busy lately.
A new twist provided by the tween-scream flick’s promotion machine says researchers at Web site Ancestry.com claim to have discovered that the 24-year-old British actor is related to the 15th-Century ruler Vlad IV Tzepesch, a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler, a.k.a. that crazy killer freak who inspired Bram Stoker’s classic novel, “Dracula.”
If that’s not quite enough to get your blood pumping, the good people at Ancestry.com also say the Pattinson-Dracula connection extends to the British royal family. Yep, Prince William and Prince Harry are Pattinson’s distant cousins, and Vlad, they claim, was their distant uncle.
This will only make the girls go wilder for Robert, don’t ya think? Some might even be excited that he could offer to bite them!
