A French reporter with Canal+ brought up the age old debate while speaking with Robert Pattinson and Zendaya for their new movie \u201cThe Drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zendaya declared, “I\u2019m Team Edward all day, let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pattinson pondered for a moment, then laughed and said, \u201cNo one\u2019s Team Jacob. That was just a marketing thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The interview then admitted that she was Team Jacob, prompting Pattinson to laugh, \u201cWHAT?\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zendaya added, “Yeah, I need to get, you know, the merch. I need to get the whole thing.”<\/p>\n

The reporter also noted there\u2019s been a resurgence in \u201cTwilight\u201d in the recent past, to which Pattinson replied, \u201cI know, it\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pattinson played the brooding vampire Edward Cullen in the movies based off of Stephenie Meyer\u2019s book series, while Taylor Lautner played Jacob Black, a werewolf, both of whom are madly in love with Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart.<\/p>\n

It was a breakout role for Pattinson, who reflected on the films in a Variety Actors on Actors interview<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, it\u2019s a weird story, \u2018Twilight.\u2019 It\u2019s strange how people responded,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are very romantic, but at the same time, it\u2019s not like \u2018The Notebook\u2019 romantic. \u2018The Notebook\u2019 is very, very sweet and heartbreaking and stuff. Twilight is about this guy who finds the one girl he wants to be with and also wants to eat her. Well not eat her, drink her blood, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought there were definitely bits that were very romantic,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut to me, I thought it was a pretty weird story. and even when I was promoting it, I was pretty open about how strange I thought it was when I was doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n
