Robert Pattinson seems to really need a publicist for his recent awkward interviews.

The 26-year-old British actor has been back in the spotlight promoting his new film "Cosmpolis."

Wednesday morning he sat down with host George Stephanopoulos for a live interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

He was given a box of his presumably favorite cereal, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and then Stephanopoulos asked Pattinson to address the "elephant in the room," meaning his girlfriend Kristen Stewart's photographed affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" Rupert Sanders.

"Everybody just wants to know: how are you doing? What do you want your fans to know about what's going on in your personal life?" Stephanopoulos asked gingerly, according to Us magazine.

Quickly flustered, Pattinson giggled, smiled and stammered. "[My fans] seem pretty excited about...kind of whatever. Um, I'd like my fans to know that Cinnamon Toast Crunch is just 130 calories [a serving!]. Pretty much everything that comes out of my mouth is irrelevant."

Stephanopoulos then asked the "Twilight" star how he handles the personal stuff in media interviews. "You go into it to do movies. I'm never been interested in trying to sell my personal life. The reason why you go onto TV is to promote movies. That's the only way to do it."

Asked if he ever "gets used to" the pandemonium, he mused. "If you start getting used to it, then you become crazy. But, uh, it's nice. It's like being on the craziest theme park ride," he said. "Totally exciting, but eventually, at some point, you've got to have a break."

"You seem to be doing okay," Stephanopoulos reasoned to the star, whose romantic status with Stewart, 22, remains up in the air: "Yeah, yeah," he said quietly.

Earlier in the week, in an appearance on "The Daily Show," Pattinson told Jon Stewart that he's cheap and he didn't hire a publicist.

According to ABC News, the British actor spoke more seriously about the impact of what he calls the "spin culture" in society today.

"If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd be responsible for their words," he said. "I do have a manager who's a de-facto publicist. He gives great advice so I can disregard it."

In an interview with "Showbiz Tonight," which will air on HLN at 11 p.m. ET, Pattinson said, "Since the first 'Twilight' you enter this kind of realm where everything is kind of weird. You get stuff reported about you and it is weird."

He then said that people just make up stuff and told his fans that he's okay.

In "Cosmopolis," Pattinson plays Eric Packer, a 28-year-old multibillionaire who attempts to cross Manhattan in his white stretch limousine, encountering gridlock traffic and violent protests, all in search of a haircut.

"I've always found this connection with the idea of finding it difficult to live in the present," he told Stephanopoulos. "I always felt I was living in the future and as soon as I was reading that, that's a lot of what Eric Packer's problem is, he feels like he's living in the future. And he's not being able to totally feel. There's a lot of similarities to an actor's life. It's strange."

Pattinson will sit down with MTV News on Thursday for "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" and talk more about "Cosmopolis." Fans can tune in 7:49 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com.
