Sean Penn ‘warns Robert Pattinson off daughter Dylan Penn’

Sean Penn has put a stop to Robert Pattinson’s brief romance with his ‘smitten’ daughter Dylan.

Rob, 26, and the 22-year-old model had grown close in the wake of his split from Kristen Stewart but Penn Senior has allegedly intervened over fears the Water For Elephants star was on the rebound.

The Hollywood veteran is said to have pulled the Twilight heartthrob to one side and given him a dressing down.

A source said: ‘Rob and Dylan get on well and really fancy one another. It’s obvious Dylan is smitten.

‘But Sean had a chat with Rob recently. Sean knows what it’s like to be a young, successful actor and the beautiful women that come with it.

‘He gave his piece about not getting too heavy with his daughter if he’s playing the field, as he doesn’t want to see her hurt,’ the insider told The Sun.
