Happy 26th Birthday, Robert Pattinson!

Try to keep the screams contained, readers, but get excited nonetheless: Robert Pattinson turns 26 today!!!

The actor is preparing for a very busy second half of 2012. He'll soon be seen like never before in the mysterious thriller Cosmopolis; and then there's a small release in November to which many fans are looking forward.

Breaking Dawn Part 2 or something? We think that's the title.

Robert, meanwhile, continues to quietly date Kristen Stewart, often seen out and about with the co-star, but rarely talking about the actress in public.

Yes, he's both a private man and someone seemingly comfortable in the spotlight. The guy is quite the looker, as well! Send in your birthday wishes to Robert Pattinson now and then click through this photo montage in his honor:
