Robert Pattinson has been in the headlines a lot recently, mostly surrounding his turbulent love life and his two main ladies: Katy Perry and Kristen Stewart.

But it seems Robert wanted to make headlines of his own as he decided to go for a paint smeared serious look for the latest cover of French Magazine, Premier.

The Twilight star decided to show off his sexy side for the Cannes Film Festival special, where Pattinson is set to attend for the premiere of his latest film, Map to the Stars.
