We're just mad for an R-Patz interview at the mo. Here on Good Morning America, Pattinson faces yet another barrage of questions relating directly to the K-Stew scandal. With a little less charm than Jon Stewart had when broaching the subject, the GMA host asked him what he would like to tell his fans about his girlfriend's infidelity. Like OBVIOUSLY he's not going to say anything. Rather, upon being handed a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (as a nod to Stewart's ice cream move) Rob simply said: "I'd like my fans to know that Cinnamon Toast Crunch only has 30 calories a bowl."
Despite GMA's attempts to dig for some dirt, Pattinson wasn't having any of it: "You get into [the industry] to do movies. I've never been interested in trying to sell my personal life, and that's really the only reason people bring it up. So that's the reason why you go on TV - to promote movies. That's the only way to do it."
Still, when asked if he was doing well, he indulged his fans by replying: "Yeah. Yeah, I am."
Commenting on people's obsession with his and his peers' private lives, he said: "The weird thing is, I can't really tell what's interesting about actors either... People don't find the personal lives of people with much, much more power than many celebrities would have - they don't find their personal lives interesting... I think if you put the lives of people who control billions of dollars on the front pages of every single paper, I think the world would be a better place... The spin culture, if you took away publicists and people spoke for themselves, they'd have to be responsible for their words."
Apart from being a bit of a ride, Robert Pattinson really seems to be one of the most genuine and affable people working in the movie industry today - our Mike Sheridan can vouch for that - and he really does deserve to be commended on his handling of this situation. Fair play Rob, fair play.
