Is There a Difference Between Robert Pattinson's 'Bel Ami' and Gay Porn?

When I read the headline "Robert Pattinson Unleashes Seductive Fury in 'Bel Ami'" about year ago, I almost died. What is the star of Twilight and the imaginary paramour for so many screeching teenage girls doing making gay porn?!

Yes, the joke that only about 10 percent of the population (actually only 5 percent since the lesbians probably don't get it either) know is that Bel Ami is not only the name of Pattinson's newest foray into fang-free drama, but also the name of a prominent and popular gay porn studio. In 1993, the company started making blue movies featuring young, lithe Eastern European men and hasn't strayed from the formula or flagged in popularity ever since.

For your reference, some ways that you can tell the difference between the Pattinson movie and the porn company:

Pattinson: Takes its name from French author Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami.
Porn: Takes its name from French author Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami.

wants to do, not what a studio or manager is pushing him to do.

BTW, for me, he'll always be Harry Potter's contest rival and friend, Cedric Diggory.
