According to our favourite vampire hottie, Robert Pattinson, he has always been attracted to older women, so he didn't have much trouble starring opposite Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants.

According to bangshowbiz, Rob's first ever girlfriend was a whopping nine years older than he was!

He said: "Every girl I went out with in my teens was older than me. My first girlfriend was 26, I was 17. Women who were older always seemed more exciting."

Besides for the excitement factor, Rob admits that he usually dated older girls to spite other people, saying: "I used to think I was a bit of a bad-ass when I was younger. I liked that it annoyed people how much younger I was. I liked walking into a room with a woman and people looking at us and thinking, 'They do not look right together.'"

We are relieved that you're over that now, Rob!
