Twilight star and Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson is the thin-spiration for Mark & Spencers' new line of slim-fit undies called, ingeniously, the R-Pant. The line also cites Russell Brand and Mark Ronson as design inspirations in an attempt to move away from the athletic models like David Beckham and towards more hipster customers. The brand is calling on Pattinson's (or is it Pantyson's?) popularity to drive women to buy these skivvies for their boyfriends and husbands, who they desperately want to resemble a teenage vampire who sparkles, but we'll have to wait until September to see if it these Team Edward underpants pan out.
