Peter Facinelli wasn't offended to be named "Worst Vampire" in Rolling Stone's list of Best and Worst Vampire Of Films And TV. In fact, he was downright excited!
"YES! I finally came in Number 1 in something," the man who plays patriarch Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight saga tweeted. Called, "a solid actor," Peter Travers (Rolling Stone's film critic) went on to trash Facinelli's on-screen look, saying, "the white-haired head of the fang-challenged Cullen vampire family looks about as terrifying as Project Runway winner Austin Scarlett, whom Carisle closely resembles."

Ouch!
But Facinelli took it mostly as a compliment! "Thank you Mr. Travers," Facinelli wrote. "As Carlisle is a compassionate humanitarian, and anti-vampire in nature, being the worst Vampire was quite the compliment. Although, you had me at "solid actor". :) I did find the comparison to Austin Scarlett utterly ridiculous though ... He has way better cheek bones."
