Zendaya and Robert Pattinson Discuss New Film and More

With anticipation building for “The Drama,” the first of three upcoming films starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the costars sat down for a candid conversation in the latest installment of “Off the Cuff.” The interview covered a wide range of topics, from generational divides to personal preferences.

A Comedy Role for Pattinson?

Zendaya expressed her desire to see Robert Pattinson take on a purely comedic role in the future. Pattinson, however, playfully argued that “The Drama” already incorporates elements of comedy, though Zendaya seemed unconvinced.

An Unremarkable First Impression

The Story of Their Initial Encounter

The actors also shared details about their first meeting, which they both agreed wasn’t particularly memorable. Zendaya recalled saying hello to Pattinson during a FaceTime call with a mutual friend while he was filming “Batman” and she was working on “Euphoria.” She noted that Pattinson didn’t react at all. Pattinson, however, has no recollection of the interaction.

Fun and Games with 'Off the Cuff'

The interview included lighthearted moments, such as Pattinson humming the theme song to one of his well-known films (the specific movie was not revealed). Zendaya also playfully called out Pattinson for claiming he’s never told a lie, stating, “Well, girl, that’s a lie.”
