Robert Pattinson gives his first live interview since Kristen Stewart’s affair with Rupert Sanders

Robert Pattinson is scheduled to give his first interview next week on August 15 since news of his cheating girlfriend Kristen Stewart surfaced.

Robert Pattinson, 26, is due to appear on ABC’s Good Morning America, with the breakfast show securing the deal over their rival TODAY show.

The televised appearance ties in with his promotions for Cosmopolis.

Robert Pattinson is also expected to attend the red carpet premiere in New York City two days prior to the interview.

The David Cronenberg film, also starring Samantha Morton and Juliette Binoche, is based on the novel of the same name by Don DeLillo.

It tells the tale of billionaire Eric Packer (R-Patz) as he rides across Manhattan in his limousine, while embarking on a path of self-destruction.

Perhaps Robert Pattinson will relish the opportunity to focus on work, having been coping with the news that K-Stew cheated on him with Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

Rupert Sanders, 41, has two children with British model Liberty Ross and has been photographed since the scandal still wearing his wedding ring.

Photographs emerged last month of Kristen Stewart in the arms of Rupert Sanders, crushing hopes that she would one day marry her Twilight co-star.

However, Robert Pattinson is reportedly coping well, taking timeout in Ojai, California, at Reese Witherspoon’s $7 million ranch.

Over the weekend he was spotted having “a few drinks and laughs” at a local country-western bar called Deer Lodge.

An employee of the bar told Radar: “I’ve been told by several people that Robert Pattinson was here enjoying the music with his friends.

“He seemed in good spirit. I wasn’t on that night so I didn’t personally see him, but several others did.”
