People are side-eyeing a French journalist after she asked Zendaya and Robert Pattinson a “ridiculous” question.
While appearing on a French news show, the duo, who star as an engaged couple in their new film, The Drama, was asked if their respective partners — Tom Holland and Suki Waterhouse — feel “jealous” about all the time they’ve spent together promoting the drama and their two upcoming films, The Odyssey and Dune: Part Three, that they both star in.
In unison, they laughed and said, “I don’t think they are … at all.”

Online, people called out the reporter for asking an “embarrassing and childish question.”
“Maybe let someone else screen your questions,” one person wrote on X.
Another said, “That’s so ridiculous.”
A third added, “Ugghh why would they ask that.”
In The Drama, Zendaya, 29, and Pattinson, 39, play “a happily engaged couple” who are “put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails,” the film’s official synopsis reads.

When Pattinson conducted an interview with French magazine Premiere in March, he gave some insight into his filming process with Zendaya.
“We had a scene together in it that was driving me crazy,” he said of working with her at the time. “I was desperately looking for its meaning, to the point of writing pages and pages of textual analysis… I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene in question.”
“I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and blah blah blah, and after a while, very calmly, she finally made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning,” he added.
Holland has also expressed his support about Zendaya’s new movie.
On Instagram, he shared a clip from the film and told his fans that they should watch The Drama.
“I honestly couldn’t be more excited for you to see this movie and believe me when I say it’s gonna floor you,” he said. “Get your tickets now!”
