From a very unassuming high school teen on Harry Potter franchise to a vampire hearthtrob on Twilight series, now here comes Kristen Stewart's boyfriend, Robert Pattinson as a sexy billionaire on Cosmopolis (2012)- - a performance that helped him prove that not only there’s life after Twilight, but also he could also take on mature roles and be hot and sexy while at it.

Robert Pattinson comes close to nabbing the sexiest male celebrities in the entertainment industry after he was named as the second among the top ten naked male celebrities in a recent survey conducted by a U.K-based website for an upcoming event featuring Europe’s biggest male group. He came next to David Beckham who topped the survey for his athletic body seen in the latest Armani campaign ads.

The most recent English-based survey showed that Robert has been the second favorite for male celebrities to have stripped in front of the cameras without any qualms in doing so.The choice for the Twilight actor has undoubtedly come as a surprise to many, like how it has been for TV host, Piers Morgan. Even the Wink Bingo head admitted as such.

"We agree that Beckham is a huge front runner in the strip tease department. Wink Bingo is all about giving you a little bit of what you fancy, but we must admit that Piers Morgan was surprise," Mickey Elimelech was quoted as saying by The National Ledger.

Robert Pattinson however may not be as surprising as Piers Morgan. He has earned the great admiration of millions of Tween fans. But the demographics following Robert do not zero in solely on the teens. Even moms and 51-year old fans follow Robert’s career. One great example is the supermarket worker, Cathy Ward from Reading, England who recently revealed covering her body with Twilight memories.

‘I love Robert Pattinson. I want to tone up so I can get his character Edward Cullen on my stomach,” Ward said, according to The Daily Mail in a separate report by IBTimes-AU.

She added, “The way I look at it I could be spending the money on going out drinking and eating but instead I'm spending it on something I am really passionate about.”

Robert Pattinson came close to the second top naked male celebrity in the survey for a racy scene in Cosmopolis (2012) as Eric Packer, a 28-year old billionaire who had ridden accross Manhattan in a stretch limo to get a haircut (and stripped in the process while doing a hot, sexy scene) with co-star Juliette Binoche as Didi Fancher.

Coming third in the survey is British TV personality, Piers Morgan. Topping the third naked male celebrity has come as a big surprise to many for the outspoken TV host. His naked self caught attention of many when he appearing naked in the 2009 advertisement for Burger King to promote a scent called Flame. Morgan was clearly naked with only a velvet rug covering his manhood. Michael Fassbender was named the fourth naked male celebrity after stripping and allowing a full-frontal shot without inhibition for his performance in Shame.

Olympic diver, Tom Daley came fifth, followed by Mark Wahlberg for dropping his pants for Calvin Klein ads. In seventh is Jamie Foxx for his nude appearances in Django Unchained. Coming close to foxx is another movie naked appearance by hot and sexy Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. This is not a surprise though for Tatum having been named as the Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine early this year. Christiano Ronaldo came ninth for his Armani undies campaign and former Towie star Mark Wright rounded off the top ten naked male celebrity for posing sexy in Cosmopolitan.

The top ten naked male celebrities are:
1. David Beckham
2. Robert Pattinson
3. Piers Morgan
4. Michael Fassbender
5. Tom Daley
6. Mark Wahlberg
7. Jamie Foxx
8. Channing Tatum
