'Rob is definitely not that in shape,' says a source on 'The Twilight Saga's New Moon' set when confirming that Robert Pattinson's muscles are fake.

Kellan Lutz recently revealed that his "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson's muscular body for portraying his role as Edward Cullen was real. However, a source on the set of "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" in Italy insists that the 23-year-old hottie's abs are formed with the help of modern make-up.

"Rob had a team of makeup artists working on his stomach to make it appear as if he had a six-pack," the source told Star Magazine. "Rob is definitely not that in shape. He hates the gym and will never really be a muscle man!"

Additionally, the source explains about how professionals make Pattinson's chiseled and ribbed abs. "They used all the tricks - including liquid body paint, shading, and airbrushing - to make his torso look toned," the source continued. "Whenever they stopped filming, Rob would duck back insider to get touched up by the makeup team. The lighting team helped as well, creating the perfect way to accentuate the shading and highlights."

Several weeks ago, Kellan Lutz, the depicter of Emmett Cullen on "Twilight" and "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" claimed Robert Pattinson's muscular body was shaped several months after working hard in a gym alongside Taylor Lautner. "Taylor been training Rob a lot, and that's why he's got such ripped abs," Lutz said of the British hunk's effort to shape his body. "Rob's been working hard. He's trying to be the best he can be."
