Robert Pattinson lax airport leather jacket twilight

Looking scruffy in a full beard and dark shades, Robert Pattinson dodged the paparazzi as he made his way through LAX to catch a plane to Paris, on Friday.

The Twilight star is gearing up to begin shooting Bel Ami in the City of Light, which centers on a young man's rise to power in Paris through his manipulation of the city's most influential and wealthy women, according to IMDB.

The film costars Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas and is set to hit theaters Feb. 23, 2012.

Pattinson had recently been in talks to star in the spy remake of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but unfortunately he lost out on the role to fellow hottie, Bradley Cooper.
