Long gone are the floppy locks infamous with his Twilight character, vampire Edward Cullen, instead, he's now opted for a no-frills shaven cut.

On picking up the gong, he said: 'Thank you very much. I don't know why they asked me to accept it because it's really a lot of other people as well.

'When I was doing this movie, I was having so much fun doing it that I was saying to everyone I didn't even care if anyone saw it.

He added: 'But now that people have seen it and they're giving awards for it, I'm even more thankful for the whole experience, so thank you guys very much.'

Water For Elephants, also starring Reese Witherspoon, beat off competition from movies The Adjustment Bureau, The Help, Limitless and Moneyball.
