Robert Pattinson insisted he was still single just days before pictures emerged of him getting cozy with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.

The pictures, taken at a Kings of Loen concert in Canada on Saturday, fuelled speculation of the pair's reported long-term romance.

But in an new interview – conducted in the week before the concert – Pattinson said he did not have a girlfriend.

“I don’t know why. You always think you’re going to get more girls after you’ve made a movie and it never happens,” he told the Daily Mirror.

“You sit there and you’re like ‘I’m a big movie star and I want to go out with some models’ but I don’t know why that doesn’t happen.”

He added: “It’s especially different in LA. Most of the women there are actresses and by default that makes them a little bit nuts – not that that’s a bad thing.

“But  I don’t really have a type.”

Rumours have been rife about a romance between Pattinson and Stewart ever since they found fame in Twilight.

The pair are currently filming the third film in the vampire franchise, Eclipse, in Vancouver.
