This year’s upcoming movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is expected to be one of the biggest movies of the year. The film pits two of the most popular characters from comics against each other on the big screen for the first time. While the movie might be getting all the hype, there are actually a lot more to Robert Pattinson than most people know. Once the tabloids found out that he is dating Taylor Swift, everything changed. It seems that every single paparazzi wanted a piece of the celebrity couple and their picture-perfect love story.

While every outlet from InStyle to OK! has covered the story of the day-to-night wonder couple, most of the attention has been focused on the fact that Taylor is dating a Batman actor. However, there is so much more to Pattinson than his iconic role as the Dark Knight. In fact, there is a lot more to his story that hasn’t been publicly known until now.

Here are five things you might not have known about Robert Pattinson.

He Is A Renaissance Man

Anyone who has followed fashion closely would know that this year’s most stylish celebrity is Robert Pattinson. The actor has been named one of the top 50 designers in the world by British GQ, and many of his famous friends and fans have attested to his unique talent. One of the reasons why he is so in demand is that he is a true renaissance man. While most people focus on his acting career or his music, the 28-year-old actually has a lot of talents. He was born and raised in England, and he studied art history and filmmaking at the University of Nottingham. After graduating in 2005, he moved to New York City to further his career.

In 2014, Pattinson began his fashion career when he was signed to the prestigious design firm JOVANI. He quickly became the face of their fragrance brand, and designed the packaging for their new scent, White Musk. As his fan base grew, so did his reputation as a luxury fashion designer. He now has his own full-time staff and several part-time employees, who he says work tirelessly to make his creative vision a reality. What’s more is that he designed a fashion line specifically for the movie industry, which he calls JOVANI X RPatz. The line is available for purchase at jovani.com.

He Is A Published Author

Even before he was famous, Robert Pattinson had already established himself as a published author. The Briton released his first book, Without You, in 2009. The novel was praised by both critics and audiences, and it debuted at the top of the Amazon bestseller list. It was subsequently optioned for film by Mike White — the same guy who optioned the upcoming Batman v Superman movie for film — and Entertainment One. The English author also released a non-fiction book, The Vanity Fair Diaries in 2014, which chronicled the highs and lows of his life as a celebrity. He currently has four novels and a novella under his belt, and three of those books have been made into movies or TV shows.

He Loves To Travel

If you’ve been following his Instagram feed for any length of time, you’ll know that Robert Pattinson is extremely fond of traveling. The English author has been spotted in some of the most luxurious destinations around the world, and he often posts pictures of himself with drinks in hand at exclusive nightclubs. A true adventurer at heart, he has been to every continent except for Antarctica. His incredible globetrotting has undoubtedly helped his cause as a jet-setting style icon. He has also been featured in several luxury travel blogs and magazines for his ability to blend in with the super rich and famous.

He Is One Of The Most Influential And Desirable Men In The World

According to gossip columns and tabloids, Robert Pattinson is one of the most influential and desirable men in the world. He is often referred to as the “Sexiest Man Alive,” and he has been compared to Hollywood’s It-boy, Leonardo DiCaprio. While DiCaprio plays a more serious character, often choosing roles that are meant to be taken seriously, Pattinson is often cast as the leading man. He has been described as the male Kate Winslet and the female Reese Witherspoon. Why is he so attractive? He possesses a certain joie de vivre that most men can only dream of having. He has a great sense of humor and an easy way with words, which helps him communicate his unique artistic vision to others. Many people find him incredibly charming, and it is not difficult to see why. He has also been quoted as saying, “I don’t think anyone should ever be judged by their physical appearance. You look at someone like Andy Warhol, who did that entire interview in drag.” He then went on to explain that he found it “very liberating” to play a character who was not necessarily associated with his “natural gender.” Perhaps it’s that unique blend of wit and charm that makes him so attractive to the opposite sex. Whatever it may be, Pattinson is undoubtedly one of the most influential and desirable men in the world.

He Is Open About His Romantic Involvement With Taylor Swift

Although Robert Pattinson is not officially confirmed to be dating Taylor Swift, it is widely believed that the celebrity couple is an item. The singer confirmed the rumors in an interview with GQ, when she said, “He’s been very, very nice to me…I like him a lot.” While it is great that Taylor has finally found someone who appreciates her music, it also means that the relationship is no longer a secret. In fact, the pair have been photographed together several times, and she even posted a pic of her and the Englishman on her Instagram account in September 2014. What’s more is that Taylor has spoken openly about her admiration for Pattinson, even going so far as to say that she finds him attractive because he is “not your usual starlet type.” The pair have also talked about their shared love of Harry Potter, and how JK Rowling’s books have inspired them to be more courageous in love. The fact that Taylor has chosen to share so much about her personal life is certainly a credit to her incredible sense of style and her desire to be open about the fact that she is gay. It is also an indication of how far the relationship has progressed. While it may not be official yet, if they haven’t announced it then it probably means that they are still a good couple, but it also might mean they are taking their time.

He Is An Adventurous Eater

It’s one thing to be attracted to a man or woman because of their brains or their brawn. It’s another thing entirely to be attracted to someone because of their food preferences. Taylor Swift isn’t your usual celebrity chef, and a lot of people would say that Robert Pattinson is the epitome of luxury. The English actor has been spotted in several high-profile restaurants in New York City and other major cities around the world. His favorite restaurant is undoubtedly Nobu, which he has mentioned in several interviews. The luxury restaurant chain is known for their amazing wagyu beef, and according to the Englishman, it’s the beef that makes the restaurant special, not the décor or the service. He has also been photographed at numerous hotspots, such as Mugrabi Grill and Le Bernardin.

He Supports Various Charities

While we’re on the topic of food, let’s not forget about the numerous charities that Robert Pattinson supports. The English actor has been quoted as saying that he doesn’t like to think of himself as “just another face in the crowd” and it is clear that he wants to make a difference. He regularly donates time and money to several organizations that help homeless people in New York City, especially those living near Central Park. He also supports several environmental organizations, such as Greenpeace, as well as various animal rights groups. He even contributed to a “save the sea turtles” fundraiser, when he was 17. In addition to these noble causes, the wealthy socialite supports the arts and literature, and he even has a literary agent whom he credits with helping his career. This year, he began a new tradition, inviting actors and other public figures to his family’s home for Christmas. The invitees include Elton John, Jude Law, and Lenny Kravitz.

It’s easy to see why so many people in the fashion and media industries are infatuated with Robert Pattinson. He has a unique blend of skills that most men can only dream of having. Not only is he incredibly stylish, but he also happens to be one of the most influential and desirable men in the world. It would be a crime to keep all of this to yourself.
