Pattinson, the cynosure of all eyes, loves Betty White
Pattinson is also the “Sexiest Men Alive” according to 2008 and 2009 poll of the People magazine.
He was also named as Britain's “Best Dressed Man” of 2010 by GQ magazine.
“Extremely elegant and inspiring, the true essence of a contemporary man,” said GQ.
The actor revealed his love for former television host and beauty Betty White recently.
“I think Betty White is probably one of the sexiest women in America,” he said. “She’s vibrant; it’s sexy. I think the more age, the better.”
Betty, in turn, responded to an exclusive statement to Access Hollywood. The 88-year-old actress said, “Now THAT is a comedy line!”
However, Robert is not her only fan. Recently reported by AccessHollywood.com, a huge Facebook fan campaign was launched to get Betty back as the host of “Saturday Night Live.”
Betty’s quick reply was, “All this came out of left field — all of a sudden, all this stuff has come in. I don’t know any more than I did in the beginning, I’m just watching in awe.”
