Robert Pattinson inspires M&S underwear line

Robert Pattinson is the inspiration behind Marks & Spencer's new line of underwear for men.

Aptly named the R-Pant, the slim-fit, low-rise collection of briefs and shorts are created to be worn easily underneath skinny jeans.

With Twilight co-star Kellan Lutz fronting ad campaigns for Calvin Klein underwear, it will come as sad news to many that R-Pattz, 24, is not set to appear in any ads for the high street store.

Rob was snapped shopping for some M&S boxers during a shopping trip in London earlier this year, but he is not endorsing the line.

Maybe he'll be back to snap up some new undies in September, when the range is released - the pants are priced at £12 for a pack of two.
