Hey Twilight Fans: Edward Really Is Related to Dracula

This is sure to send all those Twilight-obsessed tweens into a tizzy: Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen of the Twilight films, is related to Dracula. At least, he’s related to Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula character, the AP reports. Twilight author Stephenie Meyer is also, conveniently enough, related to Vlad.

"Tracing Pattinson's family back to Vlad was difficult research, but the pieces that unraveled created the perfect accompaniment to the Twilight Saga," says a genealogist at Ancestry.com, calling Pattinson's life story “just as supernatural as the one he's playing on screen."
