Robert Pattinson recently shared some really exciting news with his fans. Not only did he confirm that a fourth installment in The Twilight Saga is in the works, but he also debuted a brand new bikini photo that is bound to leave his female fans very, very happy.

In honor of Twilight Fest Europe 2020, which takes place in July, let’s take a quick look at this year’s newest bikini photo so that you can get an idea of what is in store for Pattinson’s female fans if he keeps making headlines with these types of photos.

This Year’s Bikini Photo Shifts The Paradigm

For the first time in nearly a decade, the actor/singer/producer/merchant’s model has shifted the paradigm of what a bikini photo should be. Gone are the days of underwhelming swimsuits that left most of the female audience feeling a little underdressed. This year’s new bikini photo is everything fans have been hoping for and more. It is a sight to behold. One can’t help but to look at it and think, “My goodness, what a pretty and powerful woman.”

The photo was taken at Venice Beach in California on June 5. In it, Pattinson can be seen in a gorgeous pale blue bikini, which is a departure from his typical red attire. He is also wearing a white bracelet that features a unique crosspiece, which has also been included in the design of his sunglasses. This is a subtle nod to the fact that he is a devout Roman Catholic. In the photo, Pattinson’s back is also turned to the camera, which adds to the sensual nature of the image. It is safe to assume that if he keeps making headlines with these types of photos, fans will continue to see more of his rear end than they have in years.

This year has already seen a lot of changes for Pattinson, who turned 40 in April. Not only was he photographed for the first time in ten years wearing neutral-colored clothes, but he also confirmed the rumor that he was dating Italian model and actress Amira Castille. The pair were outfitted in stunning black swimsuits when they were photographed at the Venice Beach on May 30. At the time, he told Us Weekly, “I don’t normally do selfies, but this one’s from a while back when I first got into shape after the Batman movie. I wanted to look cool as a cucumber but I’ve never felt cooler in my life. I had my chest and arms shaved for the movie and was really nervous about it, but the crew were great.”

Pattinson’s Fans Aren’t Fazed By The Evolution Of His Wardrobe

Pattinson’s Twilight Saga fans have seen the actor sport a variety of ensembles over the years, which is why this year’s new bikini photo is so stunning. He began the year by wearing a red one-piece while filming the music video for his new single “Applause.” The next day, he donned a white one-piece while gracing the August cover of Vogue Japan. He recently changed his hair and makeup style as well, going from a classic Hollywood look to something more on the soft side.

The truth is that this year’s wardrobe changes didn’t seem to phase Pattinson’s fans. If anything, it probably made them appreciate his work even more. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Pattinson shared, “I’ve never really considered what people think about me, to be honest. I do my own thing, and I like to keep it that way. If people judge me on my clothing or my choice of music, then so be it. I think it would be a shame to limit yourself to one type of style.”

Pattinson has certainly made a name for himself, which is evident from the fact that he had no trouble finding work throughout most of the year. He opened up about the status of his film career at length in a chat with ET Canada, saying, “It’s very funny, I get a lot of callbacks from people who want to work with me. The worst thing I can do right now is say ‘no thank you,’ because I’ve got a ton of projects I’m supposed to be shooting. It’s very weird how many offers I get. There’s just so much work for me right now.”

Twilight Fans Can Look Forward To More Of The Samael

In the fall of 2019, Pattinson played the infamous Samael in a limited series for Netflix titled The Testimony. The show, which is based on the French comic book series of the same name, follows the titular character as he tries to fight his way out of hell and back to Earth. Samael is a shape-shifter who can take on the form of anyone or anything he desires. The actor was incredible in the role, which is a far cry from his usual typecast as a bad boy vampire. He also received critical acclaim for his work as Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which was released a few weeks before The Testimony premiere.

Pattinson, who was born in London and grew up in Australia, has never been best known for playing ‘nice’ characters. As the saying goes, he doesn’t do ‘niceties.’ So, it was probably only a matter of time before he broke out of his vampire mold and showed the world what kind of character he is really made of. Now, he has the chance to star in an even more fascinating role. The world is eagerly awaiting the actor’s return to the big screen, especially since he has taken such a step back from the limelight. In addition, the role of Samael is likely to keep Pattinson busy for several months, which is good news for fans who want to see more of him. The few times he has been in the news recently, he has either been wearing something scandalous or hinting at a possible comeback. This is exactly how a film star should behave. Let’s not forget about all his other upcoming projects, either, which include the aforementioned music video and Vanity Fair’s 2021 “Man of the Year” issue. It’s going to be a busy summer and autumn for Pattinson.

Why Is This Year Special?

As exciting as this year is already been for Pattinson, it isn’t over yet. Not by a long shot. Not only did he confirm the rumors that a fourth Twilight Saga movie is in the works, but he also debuted a brand new bikini photo that is bound to leave his female fans very happy. It isn’t everyday that a famous film star chooses to grace the cover of a major women’s magazine, so it is quite the statement when you think about it.
