Robert Pattinson endured several awkward questions in his first televised interview since Kristen Stewart's affair was splashed across the world's press.
The 26-year-old British actor has been in hiding since Kristen was photographed with her arms around director Rupert Sanders last month.
He may have been relieved by the first question asked by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show: "What have you been up to?"
But it became clear that it was not just a casual chat when Steward handed him a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, saying "We're just a couple of gals talking".
He continued: "The last time I had a bad break-up, Ben & Jerry's got me through the tough times, so I thought you and I could talk about things?"

Rob appeared in good spirits as he joked about how he should have hired a publicist, since most actors never approach an awkward interview without scripting some answers.
Stewart managed to break the awkward atmosphere when he put on a feminine voice and said: "Boy, you are better off without... so kick her to the curb!" Rob couldn't hold back a giggle.

Stewart then showed a more sensitive side to himself by telling Rov: "That was me at 17 through to 38. When you are young and you break-up, it feels like the world is ending but this is the first time I have actually seen the world react that way. It's insanity! So here is my wish for you, that you get to handle your business in your personal life and I wish you all the best."
Referring to the heartbreak of many Twilight fans, Stewart joked "the world has ended". Rob quipped back "it has," but quickly added "that was my attempt at a joke.'
