Robert Pattinson Reveals 'I'm Taking Up Baking' Following Kristen Stewart Split
Robert Pattinson recently revealed that he has been inspired to take up baking following his split from Kristen Stewart.
The British actor, 27, is a self proclaimed fan of UK TV show "The Great British Bake Off" and although he currently resides in Los Angeles, he admittedly watches the show online. In May Pattinson and Stewart, 23, ended their four-year relationship and the show has undoubtedly been a pleasant distraction from the drama surrounding the actor's love life.
"I really love The Great British Bake Off, I've been watching it on iPlayer," Pattinson said according to NOW magazine UK.

"The BBC still make great TV and this is one of their best in years," he continued "I think it has probably inspired me enough that I am going to take up baking... Which makes me even less rock'n'roll than I am now."
In addition to his acting work and baking, Pattinson has reportedly found other ways to cope with his split from Stewart. The "Twilight" actor is reportedly now focused on launching his music career as he wants to distance himself from the gossip surrounding his love life.
"Rob's number one priority right now is his career, in particular music. He's heavily invested in his music career and it will only be a matter of time that he has a number one hit on his hands," a source told HollywoodLife.com.
"He's that talented and that passionate about making this happen. Rob is a very humble, deep, thoughtful person and music is his way of expressing his authentic self," the source explained.
Pattinson, who began dating Stewart after meeting her on the 2008 set of "Twilight," has been closely affiliated with the film's franchise since its debut. For years media critics have scrutinized his relationship with Stewart and the actor is said to be fed up with this.
"It's very important to him that he not be defined by the Twilight movies, or his relationship with Kristen," the source said.
Pattinson recently moved out of Stewart's Los Feliz neighborhood in a bid to move forward with his life however sources claim he is struggling to move on. The British actor is reportedly missing the "Camp X Ray" actress.
"Rob is missing Kristen like crazy. He thought by moving to Beverly Hills and hanging out with his new friends it would take his mind off Kristen, but it has done the complete opposite," a source said. "His distractions are only making him miss Kristen more."
Pattinson and Stewart reportedly lived together for years prior to their abrupt split. The actor is rumored to have initiated the breakup however critics are now speculating whether he regrets leaving Stewart.
"He is lonely and sad. He's in a new home, but it doesn't matter, having Kristen not around isn't the same," the source said. "He used to laugh with Kristen and things just aren't the same with her not around."
