Robert Pattinson's Casual TimesTalks Night in NYC

Making another promotional appearance, Robert Pattinson was spotted at the The Times Center in New York City on Wednesday night (August 15).

Appearing casual for the TimesTalks Presents: David Cronenberg and Robert Pattinson event, the 26-year-old flashed his coy smile while rocking a pair of black jeans and a striped polo.

The “Twilight” hunk attended the event in order to promote his film “Cosmopolis,” which arrives in theaters on Friday (August 17).

In a recent interview with MTV, the film’s director, and Rob’s date for the evening, spoke about his casting choice, saying, “Ultimately, I felt he was the guy. Once again, intuition. I saw his movies, including ones maybe his Twi-hard fans don't know about, like 'Little Ashes.' Maybe they saw 'Remember Me,' I'm not sure.”

"Can the 'Twilight' kid actually act?" Cronenberg continued. "Really, he's fantastic. He's sensational," he said. "Really, I'm telling you. He's a great actor. It's obvious in the movie. It's not like maybe yes, maybe no. It's obvious."
