Los Angeles, February 18 – Hollywood actress Zendaya has spoken about her initial thoughts on actor Robert Pattinson. The actress revealed that she may have had a misunderstanding of Robert Pattinson when they first met.
Co-stars Zendaya, 29, and Robert Pattinson discussed their collaboration on their new film ‘The Drama’, and how Zendaya's fiancé, Tom Holland, had a completely different perspective on the ‘Twilight’ star, according to ‘People’ magazine.
Zendaya told Robert Pattinson, 39, during an interview, “I think it's interesting, because you probably know what I thought about you before I met you, but I don't think I asked you what you thought about me. Honestly, I met you because we had common friends, and you were always pretty quiet and calm, which is a little different from my experience with Rob. You didn't say much, and I was like, 'Oh, mysterious'. Then I talked to Tom, and he was like, 'No, he's super fun and always laughing and joking,' and I was like, 'Really? I haven't experienced that side of him, I guess’”.
Robert Pattinson said, "That's so depressing. I wish I could stay mysterious. I've learned again and again that if you just don't speak, people are like, 'Wow. You're really intimidating', but I just can't maintain it”.
“You maintained it for a while, until we made a few movies together,” Zendaya replied. The two are starring in three films this year, ‘The Drama’, ‘Dune: Part Three’, and ‘The Odyssey’, which also stars Holland, 29.
According to ‘People’, Zendaya and Holland got engaged in January 2025, four years after the pair confirmed their relationship. Holland and Pattinson are longtime friends, co-starring in the 2020 Netflix drama ‘The Devil All the Time’.
Last year, Holland spoke to GQ about their friendship. He said, “I love Rob to death, he's a good friend of mine. We just made another movie together”.
