Zendaya helps Pattinson with a scene that drove him ‘crazy’

While the script of the duo’s upcoming film threw several roadblocks, however, there was one scene in particular which made Pattinson go “crazy”. In an interview with the French magazine, Premiere, the actor revealed, “We had a scene together that was driving me crazy. I was desperately looking for its meaning, writing pages and pages of textual analysis.” It was then his co-star who helped The Batman actor get through the scene.

Pattinson explained, “I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene. I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and after a while, very calmly, she made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning,” as reported by The Independent.

Pattinson had ‘mental breakdown’ while shooting a scene for Die, My Love

Pattinson’s tendency to fixate on his roles isn’t new, as he revealed in a recent interview. Reflecting on his experience filming Die, My Love, a marital drama directed by Lynne Ramsay, the Twilight star admitted he came dangerously close to having “a mental breakdown.”

While the intense plot and emotional depth of the film were certainly challenging, it was the dancing scenes that truly threw him off balance. He shared, “I did this movie with Lynne Ramsay, and she’s a really good dancer. And Jennifer Lawrence is a really good dancer. They just find it so easy.”

Pattinson continued, “They’re like, ‘Just dance, it’s just music playing, just dance. I was like, ‘I’m going to have a mental breakdown when this happens. We need to either choreograph it or cut it.’ And they’re like, ‘No, just dance, stop being all freak.’ It came to the day, and I was sweating so much, the insides of my trousers, with sweat, were wet.”

Both of Pattinson’s films, The Drama and Die, My Love, are expected to be released this year, however, there are no confirmed dates yet.
