Robert Pattinson's torso trickery

Robert Pattinson's muscles are drawn on.

The 'Twilight' star has attracted legions of fans with his toned physique but movie insiders are now claiming it was achieved by make-up and clever lighting.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Robert had a team of make-up artists working on his stomach to make it appear as if he had a six-pack.

"They used all their tricks - including liquid body paint, shading and airbrushing - to make his torso look toned. Whenever they stopped filming, Robert would duck back inside to get touched up by the make-up team.

"The lighting team helped as well, creating the perfect way to accentuate the shading and highlights."

The 23-year-old British star - who recently featured in People magazine's list of hottest bachelors - was delighted with the crew's efforts because he hates working out.

The source added: "Rob is definitely not that in shape. He hates the gym and will never be a muscle man."
