Robert Pattinson at the New York Premiere of the movie 'Cosmopolis' at MoMA.
If looking good is the best revenge, Robert Pattinson is on a roll.
The betrayed beau partied past midnight to celebrate the premiere of his new movie âCosmopolisâ but turned up bright and early at the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday with expertly coiffed hair, a dashing designer suit, sapphire silk tie and another gorgeous grin.
He rang the stock marketâs opening bell with his âCosmopolisâ director David Cronenberg, smiling for photos, clapping with the crowd and soaking up the Wall Street scene that provides a backdrop for the thriller opening Friday.
âThe ladies out in force to see Robert Pattinson ring the @NYSEEuronext opening bell,â tweeted CNBC reporter Carl Quintanilla along with a photo of more than a dozen women gathered on the trading floor.
The appearance marked Pattinsonâs third major event since photos of girlfriend Kristen Stewart kissing a married man almost twice her age went viral three weeks ago.
The humiliated hunk, 26, first emerged from seclusion for a Monday evening interview on Comedy Centralâs âThe Daily Show with Jon Stewart.â
Sliding into the interview chair, Pattinson admitted he felt awkward but steadfastly declined to dish about Stewart, even when served a side of ice cream.

âBoy, you are better off, kick her to the curb, whatever,â Stewart joked as he and Pattinson dug into quickly melting pints of Ben and Jerryâs.
Pattinson just shook his head, sat back and laughed.
âWhen you are young and you break up, itâs powerful and it feels like the world is ending,â Stewart continued, as Pattinson again declined to take the bait.
Finally the conversation switched gears to âCosmopolis,â with the actor describing Cronenberg as âthe sweetest man in the worldâ and making a plea for professional support.
âIf any 'Twilight' fans tuned in, I genuinely want to make âCosmopolisâ have a higher opening weekend than âThe Dark Knight.â But the problem is, itâs only released in six cinemas. Itâs gonna be a challenge,â he joked.
âAlright 'Twilight' fans, you need to start stacking on laps,â Stewart added.
âJust buy like eight tickets,â Pattinson suggested.
The actor hit the Cosmopolis premiere at MoMA next, and again avoided any talk of Stewart.
He reflected on himself instead, saying he embraced the R-rated âCosmopolisâ script after building his career on the safe and stable âTwilightâ franchise.
