COULD this tousled blond Londoner be the new teen heart-throb?
Remember where you saw him first, because 21-year-old Jamie Campbell-Bower is being feted as the Next Big Thing.
The model-cum-singer-cum-actor is set to follow in the footsteps of tween hunk Robert Pattinson by appearing in the highly anticipated Twilight film sequel, New Moon , as the volatile Volturi ruler Caius.

And he will also be starring in the final two Harry Potter films as Gellert Grindelwald.
Campbell-Bower, who went to posh Bedales school and was a member of the National Youth Music Theatre, has already been seized upon by US gossip blogger Perez Hilton as the hottest new London export.
He has yet to come to mainstream attention, though he has appeared in Sweeney Todd opposite Johnny Depp and in Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla.
And he doesn't just act - he's also frontman in his own band, The Darling Buds (no, not the 80s Welsh indie outfit) and was formerly signed to Select Model Management.
Campbell-Bower's first role was playing the French mouse in a production of Alice in Wonderland. "I think I always sort of had the calling,” he says. "That sounds so f**king generic and cheesy, but it’s true! I always had the idea that I wanted to perform. I love being the centre of attention - and I always love talking about myself.”
We think that's probably just as well.
