Robert Pattinson was back in the Big Smoke for the premiere of The Rover Wednesday night, looking hotter than ever on the red carpet.
The British actor looked effortlessly cool in a red suede bomber jacket, unbuttoned blue shirt and white vest with his hair messily styled and sporting some stylish stubble.
Robert was joined by his co-star Guy Pearce as they attended the screening and Q&A of their new film at London's BFI Southbank.
