Robert Pattinson Girlfriend Dylan Penn is Like Kristen Stewart?
Robert Pattinson's new girlfriend, Dylan Penn, has been compared to his ex Kristen Stewart as sources claim the pair's alleged similarities are likely what drew the actor to the model.
Penn, 22, is the daughter of actress Robin Wright and Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn, and reports claim she is a former friend of Stewart, 23. Pattinson, who split with Stewart in May, began dating Penn shortly after and reports claim the model and the "Camp X Ray" actress share very similar qualities.
"One of the reasons Rob likes Dylan so much is because of her quirky sense of humor. It's funny because that's what Rob liked so much about Kristen — her sense of humor," an alleged friend of Pattinson told HollywoodLife.com.

"Dylan is super sharp and is quick on her feet. She's very confident and comfortable in her own skin, and this is definitely a turn-on for Rob," the source revealed. "She's far from being meek and clingy."
On Sept. 7, Penn and Pattinson, 27, fueled dating rumors when they were photographed enjoying a date at L.A.'s Viper Room. Their love for music is reportedly what brought them together and the British actor is reportedly surprised that he is so fond of Penn.
"Rob also likes the fact that Dylan is so into music, all kinds of music. Like Kristen, Dylan certainly walks to the beat of her own drum," the source said.
"Rob hasn't had such strong feelings for someone since Kristen but he's taking the relationship very slowly and wants to keep this new relationship out of the public eye," the source said. "This really came out of left field for Rob — he wasn't looking or expecting any kind of long term romance."
While Pattinson and Penn are said to be enjoying the early stages of their relationship, Stewart is reportedly furious because the Hollywood model is reportedly a mutual friend of the exes.
"When Kristen heard Rob had taken Dylan Penn out to listen to some music, she was not happy. She doesn't understand what's going on with Rob and his decision making," a source said, referencing Pattinson and Penn's recent date at L.A.'s Viper Room. "There are a million people Rob could date, but he picks someone like Dylan, someone Kristen knows."
