VIDEO: WATCH ROBERT'S FANS COME TO HIS DEFENSE OVER KRISTEN QUESTION

Are celebrities just like royals? They're our version of royals, at least according to Robert Pattinson. Robert went on the New York Times series TimesTalks yesterday with Cosmopolis director David Cronenberg to answer questions about the film and fame — but then interviewer David Carr made the mistake of bringing up Robert's relationship with Kristen Stewart. See the reaction from fans sitting in the audience as they quickly jumped to his defense in this PopSugar Rush.

Comment by SilverMidnight46 on August 18, 2012 at 11:08am: GO to Hell press people!!!! That was very good the interviewer doesn't know where the put his head after the question... And Cronenberg and Robert looks like laughing of him more than the situation itself... Don't put yourself in front of a bunch of fans if you don't want to be "injured"... If celebrities are like UK Royalty, Fans are like the MI6.... Jajajajaj always protecting
