People’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue is slowly approaching. And while we don’t quite know yet who they’re naming as the sexiest man (though I’ve been skeptical since 2017’s Blake Shelton cover), we did get a sneak peak at some of the winners of the smaller categories. And for the “Sexiest New Dad” award (I know, totally insane category), our fave Twilight alum Robert Pattinson got the win.
Now, I’m sure the Beliebers had a lot to say about this one, but as someone who’s typically enraged by who society deems as their “white boy of the month” (you cannot tell me you seriously think Josh O’Connor has sex appeal), I have to say I’m not upset at this one.
Although I was always Team Edward, I understand the allure of Rob. Now, personally a man becoming a father is actually an ick, but for the sake of the award I’ll let that go. But I think it wasn’t just sheer attractiveness that landed Rob this award — I think it’s also how great of a dad he seems to be. And don’t just take my word for it. Here are some of the wonderful things Rob has said about fatherhood since welcoming his child back in March.
Robert Pattinson Quotes About Fatherhood
It’s amazing to watch a kid’s personality develop.
Even though Rob and Suki’s baby is super young, he mentioned that he can see hints of a personality growing already. “I’m amazed by how quick their personality comes, at just 3 months,” he said. “I can kinda see who she is already. It’s great.”
It’s a roller coaster.
It’s probably the hardest thing to describe what becoming a parent is like, but Rob P. defines it pretty well by saying it “makes you feel very old and very young.”
Suki Waterhouse Quotes About Robert Pattinson Being A Dad
He’s a diaper pro.
I can’t quite picture Robert Pattinson changing diapers but hey, what do I know? While comparing baby duties between her and Rob, Suki said, “I would say I change more diapers, but diaper changing — he really excels at it and enjoys it. He thinks it’s fun.”
He was anxious during the birth, but got it together after.
“He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous,” Suki said about Rob being in the delivery room when it was time for the birth of their child. But that anxiety has not trickled into the rest of fatherhood for him, apparently. “For someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm,” she said.
He’s just the dad she wanted for her daughter.
Basically, Rob is just the man for the job. Suki said he was the “Dad I could have hoped for. I mean a dad and his daughter?” Too cute.
