Twilight star Robert Pattinson discovered his lips are worth more than he ever imagined during a charity auction at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, May 21.
Two kisses with the actor were sold for over US$20,000 at the annual Cinema Against AIDS gala for the American Foundation for AIDS Research.
“If it goes well, maybe it will turn to something more!” joked Pattinson when auction host Harvey Weinstein introduced the opportunity.
Other items up for offer at the event included a Segway from Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger, and a saxophone donated by Bill Clinton that went for $130,000.
Attendees included supermodels Svetlana Metkina and Lily Cole, actresses Robin Wright Penn and Michelle Yeoh, as well as filmmakers Eli Roth and Lars Von Trier.
