He might have been a vampire in Twilight but Robert Pattinson is known for playing the good guy.

And fans of R-Patz should get ready to see the actor, and his naked body, in a whole new light as he takes on a bad boy character.

The 25-year-old can be seen stripped off for his role as millionaire Eric Parker in Cosmopolis.

With only a laser light on him Robert is seen with a bemused, but calm, look on his face as he stares up at the woman.

The action-packed sequence also shows Parker shooting himself in the hand, indulging in a romp in a limo, and he also appears to stab someone in the face.

The character couldn't be further from the peaceful and loving Edward Cullen of the Twilight films, and fans will no doubt relish the change.

Parker is travelling across the city to get a haircut, but the activities he encounters along the way are clearly not so mundane as his goal.
