But it looks like the pity party may be over for the heartbroken actor: Pattinson reportedly landed a major gig as the face of Dior's men's fragrances.
According to an E! News exclusive source, the "Twilight" star has signed on to appear in the brand's ad campaigns for three years... and $12 million. It's a whopping sum for Pattinson -- for comparison's sake, Brad Pitt's (much-mocked) deal with Chanel is earning him $7 million.
