He might have a stake through his heart, but he still managed a smile and a stiff upper lip.

Robert Pattinson emerged from self-imposed seclusion Monday at the MoMA premiere of his new movie “Cosmopolis,” posing for red carpet photos but strictly avoiding questions about girlfriend Kristen Stewart’s recent make-out session with a married man almost twice her age.

The humiliated hunk reflected on himself instead, saying he embraced the R-rated "Cosmopolis" script after building his career on the relatively safe and stable "Twilight" vampire saga.

”I knew ("Cosmopolis") would be different, but I didn't have anything to be scared of except failing,” he told the Daily News.

“(The Stewart scandal) doesn’t touch me and it doesn't touch the film," director David Cronenberg told The News.

Wearing a tailored Gucci suit and slicked back hair, Pattinson smiled and gave a hearty "Cheers!" as he followed his co-stars, including Paul Giamatti, into the screening room.

Earlier in the day, Pattinson taped an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” not once mentioning Stewart by name and steering clear of his romantic woes, audience members said.

"He was confident. He was in control of himself," said Carol Ann Castelli, 49, a nurse from Manalapan, N.J., who scored a seat in the taping. “He handled himself well. I think he just wanted people to know he was okay."

Stewart didn’t push it, those in the taping said, but he did offer Pattinson some ice cream to drown his sorrows, including a Ben and Jerry’s flavor named after the Kama Sutra sex text.

“They had some girl time. Like how girls handle things,” Liz Likely, 24, an accountant from Selden, Long Island, said.

Pattinson continues his “Cosmopolis” promotional tour by ringing the opening bell at the NYSE Tuesday, giving a live interview to ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday and sitting for a 30-minute online chat with MTV News Thursday morning.

"’Cosmopolis’ is a film that Robert is very proud of and looks forward to supporting," Pattinson's rep said in recent statement to The News.

滬江娛樂(lè)快訊：自暮光女克里斯汀·斯圖爾特承認(rèn)與《白雪公主與獵人》導(dǎo)演魯伯特·山德斯劈腿后，其男友羅伯特·帕丁森便從大眾視野中消失不曾露面。美國(guó)當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間8月13日，在其主演的電影《大都會(huì)》(Cosmoplis)的紐約首映禮上，帕丁森終于露面，雖然可能被萬(wàn)箭穿心，可是首映禮上的帕丁森依舊嘴角上揚(yáng)，笑容可掬。

對(duì)于《大都會(huì)》這部電影，帕丁森顯然十分用心，“我知道這部電影十分與眾不同，除了失敗，我無(wú)所畏懼。”對(duì)于電影夸夸其談的帕丁森，對(duì)戀情卻始終三緘其口。在之前參加的脫口秀《斯圖爾特每日秀》上，據(jù)觀眾介紹，帕丁森一次都沒(méi)提到斯圖爾特的名字，而且每次都用一聲嘆息回避話題。參與錄影的一位女護(hù)士說(shuō)：“他很自信，很會(huì)自我調(diào)節(jié)，他只想告訴大家他一切安好。”

據(jù)悉，本周三帕丁森將接受ABC電視訪談欄目《早安美國(guó)》的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)采訪，并且將于周四上午與MTV新聞進(jìn)行三十分鐘的線上采訪。至于帕丁森會(huì)不會(huì)談及諱莫如深的感情問(wèn)題，8月15日訪談過(guò)后便能知曉。
