Rachel Hurd-Wood: 'Twilight the new Peter Pan'

Rachel Hurd-Wood has suggested that the Twilight series owes a debt to Peter Pan.

The British actress, who played Wendy Darling in the 2003 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic story, spoke to DS about Hollywood launching several Pan projects to compete with the Twilight saga.

"Well, I think Twilight is the new Peter Pan if we're going to look at a timeframe," she said.

Discussing the lasting appeal of Peter Pan, Hurd-Wood added: "It's an incredible story, it's timeless and it's classic and it's a story that's in everyone's hearts and minds. Everyone grows up with that story, so in that respect I suppose that's why people want to keep doing it.

"That and Twilight have that thing in common, there's that unrequited love or that love that can't be. I think that's prevalent today; it's going to be a timeless theme. I think that'll probably be why [Peter Pan] keeps coming back."

Robert Pattinson: 'Girls like pale guys'

Robert Pattinson has said that women are more attracted to him the paler he gets.

The Twilight star made the comments at a fan event in London, People reports.

Pattinson said: "The paler you are, the better you do with women.

"Becoming essentially a sex symbol, being English, you realise you can break a bunch of moulds that I don't think many people realise you can - you don't need to go to the gym or anything!"

Pattinson, who was named the world's sexiest man earlier this year, recently admitted that he has trouble getting dates with girls.
