ROBERT Pattinson is one of the most handsome men in Hollywood — according to superstar George Clooney!

The 48-year-old movie hunk says he’s glad he doesn’t have to compete with the 23-year-old Twilight star for movie roles.

“Thank God I don’t have to compete with Rob,” Clooney said. “He’s young and handsome and talented.”

Pattinson said last year that being English means he doesn’t have to worry too much about his looks.

“I just wanted to make an American film, and I wanted to be relatively good in it,” he said. “I have never pushed to do anything. As soon as you start going to the gym every day and try to look like a movie star, you’re going down a worrisome track. Being an English guy you get a lot more breaks. You’re allowed to look a little worse. It’s that thing about English teeth. Although Canadian teeth are pretty bad as well!”

Robert — who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise — has also admitted he finds it difficult to cope with his worldwide fame.

“It worries me, because the whole Twilight thing keeps getting bigger and bigger, and now it’s so big that even my own ego can’t deal with it,” he said. “A certain amount of success you can mentally deal with, but there’s a point where you think, ‘Jesus Christ, what is this? I’m not that great!’ “
