Rob Pattinson likes boys (but only in film)

Rob Pattinson is currently starring in a role with a bit more meat in it than his turn as angst ridden vampire Edward Cullen in the flick Twilight. He is playing Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali in "Little Ashes," a film that focuses heavily on Dali's love affair with poet Federico Garcia Lorca.

Pattinson initially had misgivings about the gay sex scenes with his co-star Javier Beltran, but he has since changed his tune.

"It was hard to watch my first scene, in which I turn up in this funny little hat," Pattinson said. "I was worried about watching them, but Dalí and Lorca's sex scenes were in fact the best scenes."

As for alienating his Twilight fans: "I don't really mind either way," he admitted. "I'm not really trying to appeal to anyone in particular."

Please, who could possibly be upset seeing their favorite vampire fuck another dude?
