Bloody marvelous!
“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson was literally born for his famed vampire role, according to genealogical researchers who traced his bloodlines to the real-life Dracula.
Pattinson’s English roots connect him to famed Transylvania bloodsucker and 15th century ruler Vlad the Impaler, the researchers said.
But at least the face and voice of Robert Cullen is in good company, sharing bloodlines with Princes William and Harry.
Pattinson is a direct seventh-generation descendant of the Pickering family of York, England, according to Ancestry.com.
That line gave birth to England’s late, beloved Queen Mother.
Her hubby, King George VI, was 16 generations removed from Vlad II Dracula — father to the gruesome ruler Vlad the Impaler, or Dracula. That bloodthirsty tyrant inspired Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula.”
“This is the most exciting discovery I’ve ever made,” said ancestry researcher Anastasia Tyler, herself a “Twilight” fan.
