HEARTTHROB Robert Pattinson locks lips with Christina Ricci in a steamy clinch from their latest film.

The Twilight star plays a penniless Parisian journalist who beds a string of posh women in bodice-ripper Bel Ami.

It`s based on a 19th century author Guy de Maupassant`s novel of the same name.

Elsewhere in the steamy flick Rob, who plays Georges Duroy, is seen romping on a bed with Uma Thurman.

She stars as Madeleine Forestier and is seen gazing into his eyes as she unbuttons the young actor`s shirt.

Another frame sees Rob, best known as vampire Edward Cullen, leaning in for yet another kiss after tying the knot.

Nice work if you can get it.

Although Rob`s girlfriend and twilight co-star Kristen Stewart may disagree.

Bel Ami is expected to hit screens next year.
