“Some people get OK getting photographed doing their groceries or going out of whatever. I realized I cannot handle that at all,” Rob told Buzzfeed. “And so, I just don’t go to places where I get photographed. And as soon as I made that decision – don’t worry about it, stop complaining about it – it was a massive weight taken off.”

When asked if there are places he can live a low-key life, Rob said, “Yeah. 100%…I always thought I was going to move back to London, but London’s changed so much since I left. A lot of my friends have left and stuff, or they have families. It’s different. Also, my main interest in my life at the moment is film, and this is the best place to be for film. Also, I like the kind of levity of living here as well. People want to get stuff done – they’re not downers all the time. In a lot of big cities, most people are just, like, Oh, god, it’s impossible. People aren’t like that in L.A. And I really like it.”
