Robert's Vanity Fair Cover

The first look of Rob's brooding 'Vanity fair' cover is here, and it shows a whole new side of the 'Twilight' actor!

The magazine officially hits stands on March 3 and CNN's Andrea Mineo tweeted that she spoke with the Vanity Fair writer who interviewed Rob — and reveals his favorite kind of candy and why he sometimes avoids the airport.

"Vanity Fair writer who interviewed R-Patz told me Rob drove cross country w/ friends to film Water for Elephants [because] he wanted to avoid getting mobbed at the airport."

Andrea goes on to say: "RPatz is extremely intelligent … [he] read 20 books while filming the movie and likes chocolate-covered pretzels and pretzel M&M's. She also told me that R-Patz is bewildered by fan admiration — he's not sure if it's for him or Edward."

Fans can't forget when Rob first appeared in the magazine 2008 with his girlfriend Kristen Stewart, and again in November 2009, December 2009, and March 2010 in Vanity Fair Italia!

Rob is one busy boy! He and Kristen are in Vancouver wrapping up Breaking Dawn, and Rob's prepping for the release of his upcoming film Water for Elephants.
