He found fame as a fashion model and has since won over many hearts for his role as Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga.

So unsurprisingly Kellan Lutz is in fantastic shape.

The buff star showed off his muscular form today as he enjoyed a spot of swimming while soaking up the sun in St Tropez with his girlfriend.

Kellan revealed his playful side as he pretended to act like Tarzan and drummed his fists against his chest in order to amuse his girlfriend.

In fact the star was practising for his latest role as he is currently filming a reboot of Tarzan, in which he plays the title character, with the movie due for release next year.

The hunky 27-year-old looked like he was having a fantastic time as he stripped to his beige swimming trunks to take a dip in the water.
