Getting His Kit Off: R-Patz Left Red-Faced as Hilarious Pictures From His Past Surface Online

We all know Robert Pattinson as the smouldering, sexy actor who made blood-sucking, obsessive vampires hot. However, we were slightly shocked when we saw these hilarious pictures from Rob’s past.

Yes, before Twilight and Water for Elephants and, indeed, Harry Potter Robert Pattinson did a stint as an underwear model.

Now, before you start getting excited/drooling on your keyboards there’s a few things we need to stress here. These pictures were taken for a Japanese underwear fashion campaign and as such, they’re a little strange (seriously? Who wears a scarf with their pants).

Secondly, Rob is pretty young in these pictures so he’s lacking that buff body that he’s been rocking for the past few years.

Anyway, aside from the embarrassing poses and the weird shoes, he’s still the R-Patz we know and love.

Feast your eyes on these (and try not to laugh!):

From now on, every time we watch Twilight we'll think of this. And laugh hysterically.
