Robert Pattinson has his sights set on the future. 

The actor is starring in The Rover, a new film that comes out on June 20, and will then re-team with director David Cronenberg for Maps to the Stars.

Before he looks too far forward, however, The Hollywood Reporter forced the star to look back, specifically at his relationship with Kristen Stewart.

It ended, of course, after the actress made out with Rupert Sanders, with Pattinson and Stewart trying to revive the romance after the scandal… to no avail.

Is he stll in touch with his ex?

 

"Oh, yeah,” Pattinson tells the magazine matter-of-factly.

So that’s good to know. Can’t be any major hard feelings there.

Among other topics Pattinson touches on in this feature piece:

AUDITIONING: "I hate auditioning. I just can’t do it. I get so nervous, like cripplingly nervous. I’m bad at them, and I feel awful afterward."

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: "Everything changed when they did the marketing, and the general public started to view [the films] in a different way when they started to push the ‘team’ aspect of it. It was like, ‘I’m on Team Edward or Team Jacob.’ That saturated everything, and suddenly there was a backlash."

PLAYING EDWARD CULLEN: "You want to make [him] as dramatic as possible, but you have someone who never loses his temper, and so it’s like, ‘How the f–k do you do this?’ I think that was one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever done."

THE FUTURE: "I don’t know if I’ve really particularly found my feet as an actor yet. I have to prove certain things."
