Robert Pattinson and Zendaya are opening up about the first time they interacted with each other while promoting their polarising film The Drama.

The duo revealed that they have different recollections of the moment, with the Euphoria actress noting that they initially saw each other earlier than filming the A24 film.

In a joint-appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the Challengers actress stated that she had a mutual friend who was face timing him while the English actor was filming Batman.

“I was like ‘Hey’ and you were like ‘Hi’” after which they started doing the deeper voice of the character as an impression.

Jimmy then asked then when they knew they had chemistry and Robert replied that they had one call before they began shooting.

“I kind of went pedal to the metal with my anxiety, and I like every single day I did the most extreme version of my personality, like just full frontal on her face, not full frontal,” The Odyssey star said, to which Zendaya yelled, “Not that! Not that!”

The duo and the host then burst into laughter, because it means nude from the front, with the latter noting that this was great for the show.

Notably, Robert then clarified that he meant that he put everything out there emotionally, and that the Spider Man star was very understanding.
