Robert Pattinson Dismisses "Weird" Break-Up Rumors

Nervously sipping water, Robert Pattinson tried his best to deflect questions about his break-up with Kristen Stewart in a Showbiz Tonight interview.

The "Twilight" star was promoting his new film "Cosmopolis" with director David Cronenberg, but the interviewer repeatedly asked if he was okay, mentioning rumors about drinking and "wallowing in misery."

After replying in the affirmative, RPatz added, "Since the first "Twilight" you enter this kind of realm where… you get stuff reported about you, and it’s weird.”

The 26-year-old Brit has a lot to keep his mind off the cheating scandal though. Gossipcop.com reports that he's been offered the part of Lawrence of Arabia in "Queen of the Desert," a new indie movie about English writer Gertrude Bell.

If chosen, Rob will star as British Army Officer T.E. Lawrence alongside Naomi Watts who will play Bell. Production on the film begins in the fall.

Watch the interview, which is set to air on Tuesday (August 15), below!
