Any com­ments attrib­uted to Robert Pat­tin­son are going to get huge atten­tion, espe­cially with regards to the highly antic­i­pated Bel Ami he’s mak­ing with Uma Thur­man, and espe­cially if out­lets can throw in the word “sex.”

“The sex scenes with Uma are kind of dis­turb­ing,” Pat­tin­son is quoted as say­ing to The Daily Record. The com­ments were quickly (and not sur­pris­ingly) picked up every­where. “[Thurman’s char­ac­ter] kind of uses sex as a sort of weapon and my char­ac­ter thinks like an ani­mal,” Pat­tin­son sup­pos­edly adds.

Bel Ami is an adap­ta­tion of French writer Guy de Mau­pas­sant’s novel, in which Georges Duroy (Pat­tin­son) is a social climb­ing jour­nal­ist and playboy. As Gos­sip Cop con­firmed last month, Christina Ricci has also signed on to the project.

Gos­sip Cop was told by a source close to Pat­tin­son that the Daily Record inter­view is a “fabrication.”

The source adds, Pat­tin­son “never spoke to the [Scot­tish] Daily Record.”
