Well, I finally figured out why Robert Pattinson is such a natural at playing a vampire in the Twilight film series – It’s in his blood… according to Ancestry.com.

 Robert Pattinson Related to the REAL Dracula?!
Geneologists say RPattz is related to Vlad the Impaler, the 15th-century Transylvanian leader, who served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker‘s Dracula.

“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’s playing on screen,” said genealogist Anastasia Tyler.

According to researchers, Pattinson’s relation to Dracula comes from his distant ties to the British royal family. The actor is also a distant cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, who are said to be distant nephews of Vlad.
