Thankfully, his hiatus is officially over.
Rob's upcoming film The Rover debuted at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend, which means we were treated to plenty of beautiful photo ops. First up, the 28-year-old actor went the casual route, rocking skinny jeans, a black polo shirt and a green jacket at the sunny photocall.
It had been more than a year since we'd seen R-Pattz all spruced up in his formalwear - and we almost forgot what we were missing. But after pouring over loads of pictures (those eyes, that mysterious pout, that sexy half-smile), we're starting to recall just why we fell in love with him in the first place.
Oh, and did we mention he's single this time around?
