Robert Pattinson has officially signed on to be the new face of Dior Homme fragrances.

After months of speculation about the Twilight star's rumoured partnership with the brand, the House of Dior has released an official statement confirming the campaign.

"The House of Dior is delighted to announce that actor Robert Pattinson is to be the new face of Dior Homme fragrance," the fashion house said of the 27-year-old actor.

"He has since proven the scope of his acting talents by choosing films as varied as Remember Me by Allen Coulter, Water for Elephants by Francis Lawrence, in which he starred alongside Reese Witherspoon, or with his role as Bel-Ami, the famous Maupassant character," the statement continued.

"Today we are excited to announce that he will join the privileged circle of Dior faces. Photographed by American artist Nan Goldin and filmed by French director Romain Gavras, this new Dior Homme communication campaign is currently broadcast exclusively in Europe (except UK) and Asia (except China and Japan)," the statement concluded.

Last October, E! Online reported that Pattinson signed a $12 million deal to become the face of Dior's men's fragrances for three years; however, a few days later, the fashion house said it hadn't yet signed any contracts with him.

At the time, UK's Sun dished about the actor's menswear campaign for Dior, stating: "The advert is sexually explicit. It is pushing the boundaries of what you can get away with in advertising. Robert is topless for part of it and kissing one of the models with tongues. He really gets stuck in."

The source continued: "There's another scene where he takes part in a foursome in various states of undress, although it's not clear whether those scenes will make the final cut. According to the people on set, he didn't take much persuading to get into the role."
