NEW YORK: Actor Robert Pattinson thinks that breaking up with someone feels as if the world has come to an end.

The actor split from Kristen Stewart last month after it was revealed that she cheated on him with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

The actor made his first public appearance on The Daily Show Monday since then.

Host Jon Stewart offered the actor some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to help cheer him up. They chatted about breakups, reports contactmusic.com.

Although Pattinson requested not to talk of his recent problems, he agreed that for young people going through a breakup sometimes feels like the end of the world.

After that he graced the red carpet at the Museum of Modern Art for his new movie Cosmopolis.

While signing autographs for fans, he told crowds: “Thank you, guys, for being here.”

Post breakup, the 26-year-old had been keeping a low profile and staying at Reese Witherspoon’s Ojai, California, estate.
