The trailer for Netflix’s latest original movie, The King, takes us back to our OG teenage crush, aka Edward Cullen aka Robert Pattinson. Only, he’s donning a ‘historic’ new look and we can’t take our eyes off him, literally.
Adapted from Shakespeare’s Henriad, the film takes us through Henry V’s ascension and rule–after the death of his tyrannical father–and stars Timotheé Chalamet (of Call Me By Your Name fame) in the lead role.
However, Twitterati (fine, yes, we too) are loving the long hair and intense stares that Robert Pattinson – as The Dauphin – is serving in the trailer.
*Seriously, he is making us forget he ever played a sparkling vampire.*
Like it says on Twitterverse, this new ‘old’ look suits Pattinson really well:

And then I found out it was a Robert Pattinson.
I had to sit with that for a bit.
