(And for good reason: I mean, just take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/slideshow\/zendaya-the-drama-press-tour-fashion\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Zendaya\u2019s press-tour style<\/a>!) So, naturally, we had to catch up with the costars over a round of questions about everything from the zillennial\u2013Gen Z divide to Bluetooth headphones and Cardi B concerts in the latest installment of Off the Cuff.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of future roles, Zendaya would very much like to see Pattinson do a pure comedy\u2014although he argues, not entirely convincingly, that The Drama more or less fits the bill. (\u201cIt\u2019s a commercial comedy! It\u2019s fun for the whole family!\u201d) Both actors agree that their meet-cute wasn\u2019t all that cute, actually; they first encountered each other on FaceTime while Pattinson was shooting Batman and Zendaya was shooting Euphoria, with Zendaya recalling: \u201cYou were on FaceTime with a friend of ours, and I said hi to you, and you had no reaction.\u201d For what it\u2019s worth, Pattinson doesn\u2019t remember this at all\u2026 but now the two are the best of friends, so all\u2019s well that ends well!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve always wanted to hear Pattinson hum the very well-known theme song to one of his biggest movies, you\u2019re in luck, although we won\u2019t spoil which one it is. Pattinson also insists he\u2019s never lied about anything in his whole life, to which Zendaya responds perfectly: \u201cWell, girl, that\u2019s a lie.\u201d For all the tea on the last time Zendaya got the ick, how Pattinson got in character for his role as Charlie in The Drama, and the importance of talking about pretty much everything before you get married, watch the full video for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Director: Symone Ridgell<br \/>Editor: Alex Mechanik<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Chase Lewis<br \/>Associate Producer: Lea Donenberg<br \/>Production Assistant: Marquis Wooten<\/p>\n<p>Production Coordinator: Tan\u00eda Jones<br \/>Production Manager: Kristen Helmick<br \/>Line Producer: Natasha Soto-Albors<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Editor: Andy Morell<br \/>Post Production Coordinator: Holly Frew<br \/>Supervising Editor: Kameron Key<br \/>Post Production Supervisor: Alexa Deutsch<\/p>\n<p>Global Video Director: Lauren Mendoza<br \/>Executive Producer: Rahel Gebreyes<br \/>Senior Director, Digital Video: Romy van den Broeke<br \/>Senior Director, Programming: Linda Gittleson<br \/>VP, Video Programming: Thespena Guatieri<br \/>Special Thanks: Good World Creative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The excitement surrounding Zendaya and Robert Pattinson\u2019s The Drama\u2014the first of three(!) films that they appear in together&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,10201,9157,10051,5101],"class_list":{"0":"post-369709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-storytypenews-trending","12":"tag-textabovecenterfullbleed","13":"tag-tv-movies","14":"tag-web"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
