Twilight Star Supposedly Related to Dracula

A family tree site claims that IT has bear witness exhibit that the worker who plays sparkle-lamia Edward Cullen in Twilight is related to Vlad the Impaler – the real-life Dracula.

Many nerds and fans of classical horror turn up their noses at the portrayal of vampires in Stephenie Meyer's lewdly popular Twilight novels: They sparkle in the solarise as an alternative of dying, they don't have to feed upon humans, and they're make love-affected and "emo." But if a family tree group is to believed, doer Robert Pattinson – aka Edward "Sparkle McBroodypants" Cullen – is distantly accompanying a real lamia. Or as real a lamia as they get, anyway.

Connected Wednesday, Derivation.com claimed that its research showed that the Island-born Pattinson was related to 15th-hundred despot Vlad III Dracula, a ruler whose notorious cruelty earned him the nickname "Vlad the Impaler." Vlad's exploits would crack on to influence Bram Abraham Stoke, who gave the ruler's name to his painting vampire in the 1897 novel Dracula.

According to Ancestry.com's Anastasia Tyler, Pattinson's roots credible trace spine to Vlad the Impaler through the current British royalty. "Tracing Pattinson's family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unraveled created the perfect accompaniment to The Dark Saga," aforesaid President Tyler.

It's an unputdownable bit of trivia if true, yes, only I terminate't help but agree with the Fandango bloggers: This is tenuous at the best. By peppering their claims with "belik" and "likely," IT's hard to see any real evidence in Ancestry.com's claims, which is kind of intelligible given that we'atomic number 75 talking some tracing family ties back centuries.

In fact, given that the third Twilight movie, Occultation, is scheduled to break through incoming Wednesday, this thing strikes Maine as brief more than a publicity stunt. I'm not saying that it's necessarily not true, but the unit thing just strikes me as improbably vague.

Of course, given that Henry Martyn Robert Pattinson has made it publicly clear how much he dislikes the Twilight saga, maybe aft the movies wrap improving he'd care to connect with his distant ascendent and do a movie where he plays an actual badass lamia instead of a wuss equal Edward.
