Robert Pattinson and Zendaya<\/a> have set the internet ablaze with their recent cover story photoshoot for Interview Magazine as they continue to promote their upcoming movie, The Drama. In the newly released photos, Zendaya can be seen clinging to Pattinson\u2019s back, with one leg wrapped around his waist. Both actors give off an unsettling stare into the camera, dressed in unconventional outfits with smudged lipstick. The internet, however, is having a hard time understanding why such a bizarre and offbeat photoshoot was chosen to promote a rom-com.<\/p>\n

Robert Pattinson and Zendaya\u2019s new photoshoot has fans talking<\/p>\n

Zendaya and Pattinson recently appeared on the offbeat cover story of Interview Magazine. In the images, Zendaya, sporting a white attire with frill sleeves, red lipstick, and a brown low pigtail wig, is clinging to Pattinson\u2019s back. Her hands are placed around his chest, whereas her left leg is wrapped around his lower body.<\/p>\n

What particularly caught fans\u2019 attention was Pattinson\u2019s bizarre look. He wore an ivory spaghetti-strapped top, with its borders decorated with laces and a small bow on the chest. He tucked the flirty top into his brown trousers, with its button off.<\/p>\n

On top of that, Pattinson sported a blonde wig and smudged red lipstick. Both of his hands were placed on Zendaya\u2019s left leg around his waist. They appeared to give an eerie look to the camera. This controversial photoshoot garnered massive attention from fans, who took to social media to share their mixed reactions.<\/p>\n

One fan wrote, \u201cWhat does Tom Holland have to say about this?\u201d Another said<\/a>, \u201cThe real Batman would rather die than wear make up\u2026\u201d A third one added, \u201cWhat the f**k did they do to Robert Pattinson?\u201d \u201cIs this just me or this doesn\u2019t look healthy at all??\u201d Another fan wrote.<\/p>\n

While the photoshoot didn\u2019t sit well with some, many of them appreciated the actors and their offbeat looks. A fan mentioned, \u201cZendaya and Robert Pattinson together is the duo I didn\u2019t know I needed. They both have such high-fashion versatility. Do we think this is a hint at a future project together, or just a legendary one-off?\u201d<\/p>\n

Drawing a comparison with the famous DC couple, another user wrote, \u201cThey look like Joker and Harley Quinn just came back from a dance recital.\u201d Another fan said, \u201cZendaya carrying the whole movie on her back\u2014literally!
