Robert Pattinson is earning his acting stripes. Not content on playing the world’s hottest vampire, he’s now playing one of the world’s most famous Lotharios in Bel Ami opposite acting greats such as Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristen Scott- Thomas.
An erotically charged story of ambition, power and seduction based on the classic novel by Guy de Maupassant, Bel Ami follows Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson) through Paris in the 1890s. Using his powers of persuasion to elevate his status and known by his friends as Bel Ami, Georges secures himself a job as a journalist on the newspaper La Vie Francasie and soon makes a success of himself. Meeting people from all walks of life Georges soon learns how to become an arch-seducer, manipulator and social climber in a world where love is a currency.
