Talking about his two upcoming movies, the 'Twilight Saga' star insists the sex scenes in 'Remember Me' are pretty tender, while in 'Bel Ami' there's something very mercenary.

Although both "Remember Me" and "Bel Ami" will see Robert Pattinson in steamy sex scenes, the "Twilight Saga" heartthrob has spilled that the two are "incredibly different". In an interview with MTV, the 23-year-old explained, "The [sex scenes] in 'Remember Me' are pretty tender, and in 'Bel Ami' there's something very mercenary about it in a lot of ways."

The English actor additionally warned fans that there will be "a lot of sex" in "Bel Ami". He went on to gush that the film "is like the complete antithesis of what you normally think period dramas are about. In Paris, everybody was just going nuts. It was like the 1980s. Sex was a kind of a weapon and a tool, and it's odd."

Previously, Life & Style magazine reported that the screenplay of the Guy de Maupassant's novel adaptation has uncovered the Salvador Dali of "Little Ashes" will have sex romps with co-star Christina Ricci. "One of his sex romps with Christina finds both their characters surprised by the intensity of the racy encounter," the report read.

Christina Ricci will not be the only woman Pattinson romances in the movie. Playing a character described as "totally amoral", he will also get involved with two other actresses. One is Uma Thurman, who plays Madeleine Forestier, Georges' secret love interest and wife later on, while the other is Kristin Scott Thomas, who also stars as Georges' love interest.

"Bel Ami" is a morality tale centered on Georges Duroy, a man who rises to the top by manipulating a series of powerful and wealthy mistresses. Uberto Pasolini will serve as the producer, while Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod are in the director seat. Production has been kicked off in early February. "Remember Me", meanwhile, is a romantic drama set to hit the U.S. theaters on March 12.
