Although Robert Pattinson may have got pulses racing in last year's vampire hit movie Twilight he is not the first super hot actor to take on this sort of role.

And in a recent poll it seems that young Mr Pattison wasn't the top choice when it came to voting for who was the sexiest on screen vampire so lets take a look at who piped him to the top  spot.

30% voted for Brad Pitt - Interview with the Vampire

Released in 1994 Interview with the Vampire was an adaptation of Anne Rice's novel and the film cemented Pitt as an actor to keep an eye on, as well as all the girls falling in love with him all over again.

24% Robert Pattinson - Twilight

The unknown Robert Pattinson shot to fame at the end of last year when he took on the role of Edward Cullen in the adaptation of Stephenie Meyers' novel Twilight.

The film saw Edward fall in love with a human girl Bella. Twilight made Pattinson an international star and an immediate pin-up, he is currently filming the sequel New Moon.

13% Gary Oldman - Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola Bram Stoker's Dracula was released back in 1992 and was based on the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Oldman took on the role of Dracula leading the ensemble cast of Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins. Despite some criticism of how loyal the film remained to the book it was a box office hit.
