Zendaya has shared that she has unknowingly picked up a habit from her co-star Robert Pattinson after working with him on three upcoming films. The revelation came ahead of the release of their romantic comedy, The Drama, which is directed by Kristoffer Borgil.
In addition to The Drama, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are collaborating on two more movies set to premiere in 2026. These include The Odyssey, a project led by Christopher Nolan, and Dune: Part 3, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Their ongoing partnership has drawn attention to their creative chemistry on and off-screen.
Actors Discuss Habits in Interview Conversation
The pair recently participated in an interview with Interview Magazine, where they playfully asked each other various questions. During this friendly exchange, Robert Pattinson asked Zendaya,
“After working together on three films, what’s a habit of mine you’ve picked up on?” – Robert Pattinson
Zendaya responded promptly, describing a particular pattern she had noticed in him:
“This I can do because I’ve been studying you. Tom is right, you laugh at everything you say, so it’s very hard to tell when you’re being serious and when you’re not.” – Zendaya
“And then you’ll start a sentence and you’ll say it really fast, and then you’ll stop yourself and go, ‘Nevermind.’ And then you’ll always eventually end up saying it, but I have to be like,”
“No, what is it, Rob? What are you thinking?” – Zendaya
Robert Pattinson reacted with surprise, laughing as he replied:
“That sounds terrible. That’s not even true.” – Robert Pattinson
Upcoming Release and Industry Context
The Drama, backed by A24, has a scheduled release date of April 3, 2026. The collaboration marks a significant continuation of Zendaya and Pattinson’s on-screen partnership, following their notable roles in high-profile projects such as Dune: Part 3 and The Odyssey. Their rapport, both as actors and friends, appears to influence their working style, as evidenced by Zendaya’s adoption of the Robert Pattinson habit.
This ongoing connection has garnered interest among fans and industry observers, highlighting how shared experiences in film production can lead to nuanced personal interactions between co-stars. As these films approach their premiere dates, viewers will likely be eager to see the chemistry that stems from such close collaboration.
