And while many men would be happy to gloat about their rendezvous with arguably the world's most famous socialite, Rob doesn't understand the accolade.
Over it! Rob said: 'I have had many other partners — well, one long-term partner; I shouldn't say many others — and I would get asked about Paris in front of her by random people'

While Rob may be reluctant to talk about the subject now, he was more open to chat during an appearance ABC's Hard Chat in July last year.
The actor let it slip that he did in fact have sex with Paris, despite claiming previously the pair 'did everything but sex'.
