Genealogy web site Ancestry.com said on wednesday that Robert Pattinson was distantly related to Vlad III Dracula - the cruel ruler on 15th century who inspired Bram Stocker to write Count Dracula on 1997.
"Tracing Pattinson's family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unraveled created the perfect accompanient to The Twilight Saga,"said Anastasia Tyler, an genealogist from Ancestry.com
Family history experts said that Robert an d Vlad are related to British royal family. Even Pattinson is a distant cousin of Prince Harry and Prince William on their father side, Prince Charles, probably through Pickering family< who live in Northern England in the early 1500s.
"Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson's life - making his story just as supernatural as the one he is playing on screen" Tyler said.
