Robert Pattinson Smoulders At Cannes Film Festival While Debuting David Cronenberg's 'Cosmopolis' (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Smouldering In The South Of France

Robert Pattinson looked like the actor who got the cream as he stepped out into the Cannes sunshine to promote his latest film Cosmopolis.

The Twilight actor posed happily at the press call for David Cronenberg's dark drama, in which he stars as Packer, a twentysomething multi-billionaire Wall Street trader.

The plot is based on Don DeLillo’s novel about a fateful day in the life of a young New-Yorker who is haunted by a question: "Can someone who has everything still desire something else?"

Pattinson's girlfriend Kristen Stewart is also at the Film Festival in the South of France and after having dated for four years the couple made an unsual show of affection last night when they were spotted kissing and cuddling at the after party for Stewart's film On The Road.
