The phenomenal success of the “Twilight” films in which he plays a lovestruck vampire has helped him be named as highest earning British star of 2010.
Pattinson earned £18.3m last year to put him at 15th place on the annual Vanity Fair top performers list.
He beat more established stars such as Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Nicholas Cage to make the list for the first time.
According to a breakdown of his earnings by the magazine for its Oscar’s edition the bulk of the 24 year old’s money came from the latest Twilight film “Breaking Dawn” which has been filmed in two parts.
The actor, who began his film career in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” six years ago, was paid £8.3m for each of the films.
He also picked up a £1m payday for his next film “Water for Elephants” where he stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and £600,000 for starring in an forthcoming costume drama “Bel Ami”.
Pattinson, who has millions of female fans from playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga, replaces another young British actor on the annual list compiled by Vanity Fair.
The 5 romantic vampire movies seamlessly intertwine romance and horror. They may be dark, bloody, and dreary, but an underlining theme of love and romance are in all 5 movies. They all deal with a vampire having feelings for a human, and sometimes the human does not return the affection. The 5 romantic vampire movies may have romance, but all but one still maintain a horror genre.
2. “TWILIGHT”
High school student Bella moves to the overcast city of Forks to live with her father. At school she is told about five foster kids adopted by Dr. Cullen, and after meeting them she is strongly drawn to Edward. The romantic vampire movie follows the love story between human Bella and vampire Edward. For some reason, no one in the town notices the Cullen’s are vampires, but when Bella arrives she figures it out right away. “Twilight” was a blockbuster sensation and is based on the novel with the same name. There are two other “Twilight” installments to date, which are also great romantic vampire movies.
