Rob knows that his fans are worried about him since Kristen Stewart cheated, and he appreciates it, according to a new interview! Read on for the details.

Robert Pattinson may have kept silent for a few weeks following Kristen Stewart‘s affair, but he wasn’t unaware of his fans and their concern. Now that he’s finally broken his silence, he’s letting them know.

In a new interview with TIME Magazine, Rob, 26, was asked about what it’s like to have millions of fans worry about him. He replied, “I guess if people think they’re worried about you, it’s sweet. It’s kind of odd.”

Rob also told the magazine that he hoped that people would take the feelings of concern they have for him and use them in their own personal lives. “But at the same time, the world is a pretty cruel place, so whatever inspires people to suddenly feel this kindness, hopefully they’ll look at themselves and they’ll look at their own lives and realize, [awestruck, Eureka-moment voice] “I have the ability to—to empathize with people!” Aww, Rob! Always so sweet.

Are you glad that Rob said his fans were sweet, HollywoodLifers?
