Source: Press Association and Gossip Girls.The Twilight actor - who is originally from Barnes, London - was chosen by readers of Heat magazine, beating Hollywood heavyweights including Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Zac Efron to the title.
The mag's editor Julian Linley said the actor "is obviously very easy on the eye, but a lot of his popularity has to be down to the character Edward he plays in Twilight - strong, brooding and tortured, basically most women's fantasy boyfriend".
Thanks, Becky!
