Robert Pattinson to 'GMA': 'I Don't Want to Sell My Personal Life'
Actor Robert Pattinson is out of hiding, but he's not doing much talking. The “Twilight” heartthrob stopped by “Good Morning America” on Wednesday for a chat with George Stephanopoulos, but refused to discuss his cheating girlfriend, Kristen Stewart.
George first tried to console Rob with some of his favorite cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, before bringing up the “elephant in the room.”
The host asked, “How are you doing” and “What do you want your fans to know about what's going on in your personal life?”
He said, “I like my fans to know… to know that Cinnamon Toast Crunch has only 30 calories a bowl.”
RPatz, who is promoting his new film “Cosmopolis,” later explained, "I've never been interested in trying to sell my personal life and that's really the only reason people bring it up. The reason you go on to TV is to promote movies. That's the only way to do it."
After years in the spotlight, the 26-year-old is still not used to the fame game. "If you get used to it I think you start going crazy," Pattinson said. "It's like being on the craziest theme park ride. It's totally exciting but, eventually, at some point you have to have a break."
On Tuesday, Rob talked tabloid rumors with "Showbiz Tonight." He nervously sipped coffee while sitting next to "Cosmopolis" director David Cronenberg and laughed when the reporter brought up rumors of him wallowing in misery. He called the constant reporting about his love life "weird" and said "loads of people just make [these reports] up anyway."
Meanwhile, rumors were swirling that KStew was off the hook for a second “Snow White and the Huntsman.” The actress, who publicly apologized to Rob for cheating with “Snow White” director Rupert Sanders, was reportedly not invited back for a sequel, however that may not be entirely true.
Statement from Universal Co-Chairman Donna Langley:
Universal Co-Chairman Donna Langley told "Extra, “We are extremely proud of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and we're currently exploring all options to continue the franchise. Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false.”
