He's the hottest vampire in Twilight. The problem: he looks like sh-t in Twilight. That wig, the makeup, to say nothing of his limited opportunity to showcase anything but the most embarrassing expressions ...in a film full of bad acting examples, he unfortunately stands out.

What sucks for Jackson Rathbone is that since he's so low profile, that's the only version of him that most non-TwiHards are aware of. Shame. Because he's so hot.

Look.

In Nylon.

So. Hot. And there's charisma. There's cool. There's a little funk tucked away not for mass consumption.

Unlike Kellan Lutz who routinely models his bare chest on "candid" occasions for the paps, Rathbone doesn't famewhore on the beach with AnnaLynn McCord. (Am currently at airport and blogging from blackberry so can't spell check her name and who cares?) Instead Jackson Rathbone plays small gigs with his band and generally stays off the scene. Which is why I don't blame you if the only way you can identify him is by the description: "that other weird looking guy with the awful wig who gets only one line in those Twilight movies".

Rathbone has two films for release this summer pretty much at the same time. Twilight Eclipse obviously and also M Night Shymalan's The Last Airbender, in 3D even though it wasn't shot in 3D. Clash of the Titans was the same. It's a way of getting more money out of you. That's not the only problem with this movie though but I'll complain about it later, closer to when it opens.

For now, enjoy a wigless, natural, sexy beast Rathbone free from the sh-t taint of Twilight. Click here for more photos and the interview.
