  1. > “We had a scene together that was driving me crazy,” Pattinson said. “I was desperately looking for its meaning, writing pages and pages of textual analysis. I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene. I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and after a while, very calmly, she made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning. And there I was going crazy for three days.”

  2. And after reading all that looking for a meaning, I can also say it has no meaning.

  3. Zendaya seems to have a good head on her. Always professional. Just does the work. Get Paid and fucks Tom. I don’t see her getting lost in the lines like Pattinson apparently does.

  4. If you read the article, this guy had problems with a scene with Jennifer Lawrence, too. Said his pants were all sweaty from worrying about a dance scene. I always thought this guy was weird, the way he obsessively goes on and on about things that bug him. But then again, he lied his way through all the “Twilight “ interviews, so who can believe what he says?

  5. He was the perfect Edward, truly.

    I haven’t even read Edward’s book, but I’ve heard that Edward just… Never stops. Always over thinking. His book is insanely massive compared to Bellas POV books. And I’m okay not reading it.

    But, dude should probably see a therapist if he truly did spend three days writing textual analyzing to be told “just say it. There is no hidden meaning”. Cuz… That is a bit concerning given his job.

  6. i don’t think a great actor like robert pattinson should be taking tips from zendaya.

  7. Bro seems like a totally relatable and awesome dude. Love him.

  9. Given that this is Robert Pattinson, I struggle to believe that the incident actually happened. Still an entertaining anecdote though! He’s the only celebrity whose interviews I like reading/watching. He just says stuff… the truth is completely irrelevant.

  10. That’s rich coming from the actress that always acts like a bored sleepy hipster in all her scenes. Pattinson is embracing real acting.

  21. Obligatory: if you haven’t seen Mickey 17 and like either Robert Pattinson or Sci-Fi, do yourself a favor. Absolutely awesome hilarious movie.

    “Why didn’t he eat me, I’m good meat. Wait… am I bad meat?”

  23. We need the sub with more circle jerk headlines like this lol

  27. Robert: *yapping*

    Zendaya: Robert it’s 2 am, the scene is you eating a ham sandwich, it’s no hidden meaning please just go to bed

  28. I like this level of dedication and anxiety over getting things right. I like him more and more every day. Mickey 17 was a fantastic film.
