Rathbone admits to 'Twilight' co-star crush

Twilight's Jackson Rathbone previously admitted to having a crush on new co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, it has emerged.

The actor, who plays Jasper Hale in the vampire franchise, told Seventeen magazine back in November that he had a secret admiration for the Terminator Salvation actress.

"I think she's an incredible actress and such a beautiful young woman," he said.

"I also think she's way out of my league, so I'll just keep dreaming."

Summit Entertainment recently announced that Howard would replace Rachelle Lefevre in the role of villainous vampire Victoria for Eclipse, the third instalment in the popular saga.

Filming is scheduled to begin in Vancouver later this month.
