The discourse is all fun and games \u2014 and Pattinson himself has even admitted to flat-out fabricating answers to interview questions. In his March 2024 GQ profile<\/a>, the star of The Batman revealed that he\u2019d often \u201cmake something up\u201d during press interviews \u201cin order to say anything at all.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s performance art, in a way.<\/p>\n \u201cI definitely do get a certain high from it,\u201d Pattinson told his costar inThe Lighthouse Willem Defoe for Interview magazine in 2019<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s a little gremlin inside of me that thinks, \u2018Just say something shocking. You\u2019re only here for a few minutes, say something terrible.\u2019 There\u2019s a kind of perverse glee I get from that. But I\u2019ve given my publicist a number of heart attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n Parsing through Rob\u2019s truths and lies can be a complicated feat \u2014 just ask Zendaya.<\/p>\n \u201cRob throws me off because you have so many crazy stories, and I know that some of them are true because I\u2019ve heard you tell them over and over and over again to other people, like, exactly the same, and that feels like it\u2019s the truth, right? It\u2019s not like he\u2019s exaggerating every time he says it, or whatever,\u201d she told Pattinson in an Entertainment Weekly video<\/a> that went live on Tuesday. \u201cI don\u2019t know ever what he\u2019s going to say, and neither does he. So it\u2019s a surprise to both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n Pattinson\u2019s history with lying has become a running topic of discussion during the press tour for The Drama. In addition to recently telling GQ<\/a> that Pattinson would be \u201cgood on Traitors \u2026 because lying.\u201d<\/p>\n In a Vogue video<\/a> shared on Wednesday, Zendaya also asked Pattinson when he last committed a lie.<\/p>\n \u201cThis lying thing is really \u2014 it\u2019s ruining my life,\u201d he told the actress. \u201cWhy is everyone saying you\u2019re lying about this, lying about that? I\u2019ve never lied about anything my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n Pattinson jokingly added that he has since retired from lying: \u201cI get a giant vein that comes on my forehead whenever I lie. So I had to wrap it up.\u201d<\/p>\n When the Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> star dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 16<\/a>, she dished on what it was like to work with Pattinson for the first time. This year, the two have gone from first-time costars to soon appearing together in Dune: Part Three and The Odyssey. Kimmel was quick to tell Zendaya about Pattinson\u2019s penchant for lying.<\/p>\n Pattinson and Zendaya attend the premiere of “The Drama” in Paris.<\/p>\n (Stephane Cardinale\/Corbis via Getty Images)<\/p>\n \u201cRobert, I\u2019m sure you know this, but he\u2019s a liar. He lies, and I don\u2019t mean that in a negative way,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cHe\u2019s told me stories on television that he later told me he just made up because he didn\u2019t have anything else to say. And then it follows him around, and people ask him about these crazy stories, and he can\u2019t remember his lie.\u201d<\/p>\n Zendaya then told Kimmel what Pattinson said to her when they first hung out.<\/p>\n \u201c[Pattinson] was like, \u2018Yeah, I used to be a pathological liar.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Are you being serious? Or are you lying? I can\u2019t tell.\u2019 I can\u2019t ever tell,\u201d she said. \u201cHave you noticed that he laughs with everything he says? Like, whether he\u2019s joking or being serious, he\u2019s always laughing. So I never know quite when he\u2019s telling the truth or not.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Pattinson](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gettyimages-2268189835_8915.jpg\"\/)
