London, Aug 5 - British actor Robert Pattinson, who stars in 'Twilight', has been voted the sexiest man, beating heavyweight actors Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.

Thesun.co.uk reports that Pattinson didn't seem too overwhelmed by the honour and played it down, saying: 'The hottest actor stuff doesn't really mean anything. You have a month maybe with all this heat and hype.'

Other British men to make the top 10 in the poll include football star David Beckham and Irish actor Colin Firth. The poll was conducted among 2,000 women for Glamour magazine.
