Actor Robert Pattinson was barely recognizable when he spotted out sporting a newly buff body. Perhaps getting ready for romantic rendezvous with ex-girlfriend Kristen Stewart? We hope so!

The "Twilight" star has been visiting the gym as of lately sporting his signature scruffy beard but now he is finally seeing some major results from his workout routine.

However, according to Hollywood Life, the actor is preparing for an upcoming film role and his new look is temporary.

E! News reported that Pattinson is gearing up and trying to get in top shape for his new film "Mission: Blacklist." In the film, he plays a young military interrogator and leader in the capturing of Saddam Hussein.

Apparently the role also calls for several intimate scenes, so the "Cosmopolis" actor's dedication to the gym can be beneficial for both himself and his fans!

The actor told E! News that he hates working out and he's only doing it for his role on the film.

He said, "I don't ever want anyone to see me doing exercise," he added, "Even though I am doing it, I still think it's so lame and embarrassing - I am doing it out of necessity, that's all."

Luckily for him he looks good without a workout but we are totally loving this buffer version of Robert Pattinson.
