Robert Pattinson poses next to a chalkboard with the words “Why Not” in this recently released photo from fashion photographer Stewart Shining.

“I was just thinking this would be my motto for the new year, and a nice Xmas present for the RPatt fans!” he tweeted on Christmas Day.

The pic is an outtake from Rob‘s Italian Vanity Fair covershoot.

“Right on RPatt fans! glad u like the shot! one of my faves and it really is a great motto to carry forward!” added Stewart.
