"I'd like my fans to know that Cinnamon Toast Crunch only has 30 calories a bowl." Best quote ever.

[@ellapierro8904]

Correct about that it is the best quote ever😂😂😂

[@beefstroganoff4459]

We really did need to know tho

[@neelusharma1596]

I didn't understand it .

[@Kuri_Kwon]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 i stan this man forever

[@najmaaa8087]

He's so sweet and totally the best guy. after what Kristen did to him he still respected her enough to leave her be and not slag her off on national tv.

[@sophie2859]

That's because they dated again up until the end of 2013.

[@trishamarielle9345]

Because that cheating pics were photoshopped.

[@TT-hl5ql]

@@trishamarielle9345 lmao except she admitted to it and apologized 😂

[@sammyprince-jones8410]

I still ship them kind of

[@a.madison9625]

No, he respected himself enough to take the high road, something she's not capable of

[@CraftyNat07]

he seems to be the only one who drinks the water fron these shows lol

[@beefstroganoff4459]

Facts it’s inspirational

[@avantgarden2438]

It's his way to ease the awkwardness

[@JeanBakula]

@@avantgarden2438 It's a way to fight anxiety, keep sipping water, it slows down your breathing. He isn't as nervous as he's in his 30s.

[@overthehappiness1]

He seems to be so down to earth, such a nice person

[@supynatural]

He is the most mysterious actor in this generation. He earned my respect after this!

[@jonalyn.orcine]

Yeah until now he doesn't have any social media accs

How could you cheat on such a handsome man. Wow

[@celineypie]

I really have no idea. He is BEAUTIFUL

[@c956rubber]

LoveeBug14 Looks is one thing, but personality is what defines beauty.

[@reannabannana5399]

All for a role. All for a role

[@reneewillis9181]

LoveeBug14 WTF Kristen got to do with this interview

[@az-jr6xe]

That was the first thing that went through my mind, tbh.

[@ceceoo3]

He's doing such a great job at handling the questions and staying positive and professional and sweet. He's looking better than ever too.

[@zagreussredbeanie6961]

he handled this so well. Applause and respect goes out to this actor

[@meowldemort]

His accent... omg

[@urtalkintaurus3399]

Rob knows how to dodge personal questions :)

[@MagicalSam89]

Still think Rob is such an gentleman. Never did say something bad about Kristen or the whole situation. He is always so humble and lovely. One of the reasons I still adore him

[@a-dwi]

Wait..Did the interview really take place after the scandal? This is why I'm just so confused why everyone on the comment section seemed to make that connection 😂

[@MagicalSam89]

@@a-dwi yes it was the first interview after the scandal hit the tabloids and media

[@a-dwi]

@@MagicalSam89 I've been in a similar situation like him and I don't how I'd feel being asked for this kind of thing, even for just "how are you", that was just unnecessary and rude, for lack of better words. I've never been a fan, mostly because I'm always pissed off with the fanatics in any fandom tbh, but it seems like he manages just fine professionally and personally going forward. Really feel bad for him, but he's been great ig 😌

[@MagicalSam89]

@@a-dwi yes. Most media where rude to him. They wanted dirt and he stayed a perfect gentleman. And I get your point I am a fan of him but in the twilight hype there were crazy people and still are. People who say he and Kristen belong together blabla and hating on the gf he has now. But real fans are happy when he radiates happiness. Sorry you are in the same situation.

[@a-dwi]

@@MagicalSam89 nah, not exactly the same 💆

[@AA-qb7ni]

He handled that with kindness. He could've been angry at that invasive questions but he didn't. I respect that.

[@jassbach1672]

my god hes so hot here

[@ashli674]

Fans should be proud of him. He really handled this with a lot of class and grace. People should take a page out of his book and show that their personal life is really none of anyone else's business. Hope it gets better for you Rob and I can't wait to see Cosmopolis!

[@abe34fizzy]

I just realized rob is super awkward and struggles to express himself and stuggles to be understood

[@jassbach1672]

most of the famous people are actually awkward during interviews..it kind of cute

[@14ed14ed]

shy

[@abe34fizzy]

Kylo Ren Kylo, you are my favorite

[@abe34fizzy]

"I mean most of the people will think that he is being rude " " he has a odd sense of humor which doesn't make sense to most of the people." those are pretty much signs of struggling to be understood, and i think his odd sense of humor sets him apart from people wich can be considered awkard (but good awkward) wich can lead to being easily misunderstood! Same with most people think he is being rude, i imagine it is pretty hard to communicate with someone when they think you're being rude! thanks for replying to my comment, i like how every once in a while i get likes or replies on this even though i posted i two years ago :D

[@mollyswyft5079]

hes a bit like robert deniro in that way

[@singers333]

He is truly unique and his smile is so electifying

[@juliefenton313]

i don't think it's just the "i don't wanna sell my personal life" type of thing or something... he is actually trying to separate his business from his personal life... do you guys remember what happenned to ben affleck??

[@Heywoodbee]

he is a real gentleman he doesn't kiss and tell,,, i like that

[@Elsie903]

This is hard to sit through and I'm just a fan. I feel very bad for him. Anyone who goes through a break up esp. bc someone cheated is hard enough without having to be reminded of it.

[@michelegillespie1971]

He deserves so much better!!

[@mariechabot-johnson2150]

That was just a superbe interview, well directed : just enough of personal life, and plenty of reflexion on his role. Bravo!

[@BSN1194]

So mad that they brought up Kristen! Rob must be so devastated and hurting inside, he must want to break down when they bring it up and he has to keep a straight face because he's being watched by lads of people. I feel so sorry for him!

[@jiggsawgirl]

It's in his eyes, he's sad :(

[@qwahaxahn]

I only see embarassment.

[@sigmakodiak1701]

So you see it too. Most people don't. He's very sensitive and insecure. Copes with it by people pleasing.

[@1pinkiya]

Awww Rob.I love him so much and feel sorry for him. You can tell deep down that he is hurting inside.

[@silver5532]

yes i agree! he was especially good in "remember me" and even more so in "water for elephants" ! I'm so glad others think of him that way too, and not just "the hot vampire in twilight" he's way better than that!

[@BlueGlow26]

basically knew nothing about Robert Pattinson, after watching this, I respect him. :)

[@jayleenlol3271]

He really never aged

[@lisbeth725]

Very classy and diplomatic, he smoothly pointed out what he was on the program for. Good job.

[@grewalgrewal9199]

Watching rob s all videos interviews movies on repeat... man his smile

[@smoothcrymynuhl]

I'm glad that he changed the topic back to what he was truly on the show for, but without coming off as a jerk. Some celebrities get so offended when they're asked about their personal lives. Rob dealt with this charmingly :)

[@chd9841]

Rob gets 120/100 for his handsomeness.

[@renisaputri6139]

Totally Agree!

[@renisaputri6139]

[@gypsymoon474]

I’m sure he gets the same question over and over for every movie he’s in and reporters ask the same question I wouldn’t blame him if he rolled his eye but he’s too cool and down to earth than that! I think that reporters should mostly stick to asking questions about the movies that actor is in not if they’re lonely or dating or their favorite whatever because those are common questions that I’m sure he gets asked a lot over the span of his acting career!

[@nabihatahsin4193]

he does have a beautiful smile, I liked his character in twilight movie. it was like a vary vary good person which they are not in real life. nowadays peoples are not like that the ancient people was more better then the people at present. I respect them

[@renisaputri6139]

DAMN! I SWEAR HE'S DEADLY FUCKIN' HANDSOMEEEE😭😭😭😭😭 like he makes my heart skip a beattt Love this man both inside and out!😻😻😻😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ Edit : among all of his interviews or talkshow, in this talkshow he looks the most handsome in

[@5050TM]

Yes, he has the ability to put all of his awkwardness away for a role (or unleash it in roles like Arthur in How To Be).

aw, bless him!!!! that's what a real actor and a good person should do, just go and promote his movie:) Ignore everything else, and doesn't make a whole scene whenever someone asks him and how he's dealing with this whole situation!!!! i still bad for him, but im happy he's moving on with his life:)

[@liasdnff]

0:28 Omg that's MY favorite cereal😍😍

[@janacabelo]

I really like Rob'm sympathetic to his pain know it's much worse because he is famous actor but after a while people forget and it will only remain a wound that will heal only when they stop rolling in as true fans of Rob if you really love him then let him face his life forget the gossip and concentrate only on his career which is what really matters

[@kezka76]

Exclusively elegant gentleman ! Rob is cautious, but never uses any scape. Makes a great point too. Hey ! papa-razzi-es, why not follow everyone who has power rather just celebs ? The world would be a better place, for one,if that is your intentions and secondly, I truly doubt, if there will be anyone left to hassle anyone as well.

[@emmahinsonwaple6969]

2020 anyone? This interview is so awkward but I'm on twilight side fo youtube

[@ermmmm5395]

same omg, i really love Robert, his energy is so chaotic

[@aramkk5]

wait same i need more people to talk to about rob

[@princessxhelen]

I was just thinking that! I was like "he's losing his English accent."

[@C.J.80]

9years late.. But i gotta say he looked absolutely furious when the host decided to ask about the "elephant in the room"!🙄 Poor Rob!

[@chilldog4469]

Ive looked through detail and I feel Kristen didn’t really want to kiss Rupert the dude she ‘cheated’ with. if u look in her interviews she acts herself, awkward yet funny. Ik some won’t agree with me, but I feel she really did love Robert, but did something she shouldn’t of done

[@naomiwingate1945]

I felt this way to that maybe she was with him to get and keep the role cuz it looked like she was uncomfortable. I know a lot of actors do that and i believe that’s why he might have taken her back for that short period before the split up for good.

[@clairerice3450]

She did because she is actually lesbian!

[@Alntn18]

Il est acteur pour être acteur et non pour la célébrité, il reste très privé sur sa vie, c'est beau, j'admire!

[@Diana4lifeTTS]

wow u go Rob show that u r strong and brave enough to handle whatever akward situation u are faced with HIP HIP HORAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lalameoldgoat7209]

Woa, he sounds a lot different now than he did in 2008 interviews from the first Twilight film.

[@missnaomi89]

I feel like he is a really good actor and a great person who got thrown into fame and doesn't necessarily want it, he seems like he just wants to act without all of the hoopla that goes with it. It actually seems unfortunate for him that he was cast in twilight because I feel that a lot of people won't take him seriously because of that (myself included until recently.) I hope he can distance himself from that and just make good movies.

[@Mary82White]

Eventually someone is going to ask about what happened so I am sure he is not surprised to be approached about his personal life. Keeping it hush, hush is his decision and we all as fans have to respect that. I love Rob because I love his movies and he is nice to look at so his personal life means very little to me. I don't ever purchase magazines simply because I appose stinky gossip and I cannot stand the paparazzi so I actually appreciate and respect his need to be quiet about his breakup.

Can I just tell you that I love you for that comment? You said (wrote lol) what I wanted to say for a long time, thank you. Robert is a really good actor but people don't realize that because they saw him in Twilight saga ( I admit, I didn't like the movies,or the books, but I'm not a hater...) and they simply refuse to give his other movies a chance...It's sad... really... Gosh, I feel so silly replying to an old comment but you just took the words out of my mouth...so yeah...
