Robert Pattinson ought to an easy target for laughs. The guy’s fanbase consists of middle-aged housewives and their Fetal Alcohol Syndrome-damaged daughters; he’s an allegedly serious actor who stars in a franchise so moronically awful that it’s only slightly better than the Transformers movies. And let’s not even get into his regrettable personal hygiene. But most of the time he seems like a fairly decent (if whiffy) human being, and occasionally he says or does something that’s moderately awesome. Last week, for instance, when he stepped in to protect Kristen Stewart from the attentions of an obnoxious drunk. Sure, you’d like to think you would do the same. But the scenario gets a bit sketchier when the drunk in question is an alcohol-fueled Jason Statham:

Jason is totally jacked and Rob is scrawny,” a source told Us Weekly. “But Rob said, ‘I think you’ve had enough time with her’. They got heated.” The bouncers of the [unnamed] LA bar allegedly stepped in to stop the two actors from fighting.

Kudos, Mr. Pattinson. If Jason Statham cut in on me like that, I’d probably assume my ladyfriend had switched partners in mid-date, and step out of the way and try to make the best of things. Hell, I’d probably hand my car keys to the man as a good-will gesture. And the keys to my apartment, just in case the two of them needed a place for some “alone time” later in the evening.
