How interesting: according to research done at Ancestry.com, Robert Pattinson is distantly related to Dracula! The real-life man, Vlad III Dracula, not the book and movie Dracula we know... cause that would sort of be impossible. But now that I got your attention, read below:
Genealogy web site Ancestry.com said on Wednesday that the British actor is distantly related to Vlad III Dracula -- the cruel 15th century ruler who inspired Bram Stoker's literary Count Dracula in 1897. Family history experts said Pattinson and Vlad -- the Transylvania-born despot also known as Vlad the Impaler -- are likely related through today's British royal family. Pattinson, 24, is a distant cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry on their father's side, probably through the Pickering family who lived in northern England in the early 1500s, Ancestry.com said.
