Peter Facinelli has declared that he is proud that a Rolling Stone writer called him the Twilight series' "worst vampire".

The Insider reports that film critic Peter Travers criticised Facinelli's character Carlisle Cullen by asserting that he was "as terrifying as Project Runway winner Austin Scarlett".

The actor took to his Twitter account to claim that he considered Travers's comments to be an honour.

"YES! I finally came in Number 1 in something," the star tweeted.

Facinelli added: "I did find the comparison to Austin Scarlett utterly ridiculous though... He has way better cheek bones."

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1 will be released in US cinemas in 2011.
