“Robert is dying to get home,” says an on-set insider. “He’s so over everything. Girls grab his neck and clothing all the time, and they don’t do that in London. Everyone there is cooler about fame, which is what he’s used to.”

Currently shooting the romantic drama, ‘Remember Me,’ in midtown Manhattan, the young actor’s home-sickness has the crew quite concerned. “He’s skinny and stressed. Everyone is worried about him,” one source told the News.

Most of the problem seems to be all the fans, “He doesn’t understand why everyone is going so crazy over him,” an insider relates. “He’s embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. He stayed in two hotels in four days to escape, and is being told by security not to encourage them, so he doesn’t even look up anymore.”

He soon had that down — While filming at the Crestwood Train Station in Yonkers, Rob grabbed some treats at Martine’s, a nearby bakery, and got there and back without saying a word. But once back on the set, all Rob could say was how happy he was to be free of the borderline-stalkers in midtown Manhattan.

And he seems to be coping with fame pretty well — in recent days Rob’s been spied on the town, at places like Black and White, the Bowery Hotel, and Webster Hall.

…So if you feel like some screaming, you know where to go.
