Robert Pattinson confesses that the muscular body of his hunky co-star makes him jealous, but they remain good friends despite the competition.

"I want to have better hair than him. I want to have a better six-pack," Robert joked of his rivalry with Taylor Lautner.

"But seriously, he's great. I've been close with him throughout the whole series."

According to the 24-year-old actor who is rumoured to be going out with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, the huge success of the Twilight franchise made it difficult for him to date.

"I would like to go on a date. I'm just saying. I'm just putting that out there. Because I never go on dates anymore," Pattinson told The Today Show.

Although he is interested in dating, he made it clear that he is not in a hurry to tie the knot.

"I don't think settling down should be the same thing as getting married," he said.

"I mean, I guess settling down just means not sleeping with everybody. I don't like the idea of having to settle, though."
