According to  People, is there anything sexier than a half-naked Robert Pattinson?

The actor, 25, went paddle boarding in Malibu, Calif. Friday. The bearded  star, who hasn’t been photographed shirtless since shooting The Twilight  Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in St. Thomas in April 2011, also went jogging  along the coast.

The sunny spot is much different than Pattinson’s native England, but a  source close to the actor tells Us  Weekly that “he really likes Malibu. He and Kristen  [Stewart] spend all their time there.”

It’s also made it easier for Pattinson to get serious about his fitness. “He  has been trying to get more outdoorsy and cut down on smoking and drinking,” the  source tells Us, adding that he’s been “doing more athletic  stuff.”

Though they’d been spotted at Chateau Marmont and Hotel Cafe earlier in the  week, Pattinson didn’t join girlfriend Stewart, 21, at Saturday’s Nickelodeon  Kids’ Choice Awards. Stweart, who wore a blue Stella McCartney dress, won  Favorite Movie Actress.

Pattinson’s next film, Cosmopolis, hits theaters May 23. It also  stars Jay Baruchel and PaulGiamatti.
