The age-old debate regarding the Twilight franchise has resurfaced. Over the years, fans have been divided on whether or not they like robert pattinson’s Edward Cullen or Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black.
On Wednesday, Zendaya and Robert weighed in on the debate between Team Edward and Team Jacob. The Euphoria actress announced that she is on Team Jacob. The reporter wondered if Robert was on the other side of the fence regarding that discussion. This got a boost from Robert, who declared, “Nobody’s Team Jacob.”
Edward Cullen actor calls Team Jacob “a marketing thing”
According to Robert, the idea that Team Jacob has a loyal following is based on one thing. In an interview with French station Canal+, he said that Team Jacob is purely “a marketing thing.” The French reporter admitted during the interview that she was totally all about Jacob. This made Zendaya and Robert roll their eyes.
Robert has a history of hating the Twilight franchise. Admitted in 2019 that if he hadn’t been in those films he would have “hated them without thinking.” However, in recent times, he seems to have toned down those criticisms. After that 2019 confession, he said it’s not even cool to hate that franchise anymore.
Since moving on to other projects, Robert has become good friends with Jennifer Lawrence. The Oscar-winning actress said in October that Robert was one of those girls. He apparently comes to her house sometimes for girls’ nights and gossip.
Zendaya and Robert are promoting their movie The Drama. The film starring him depicts their relationship which suddenly changes in the days leading up to their wedding. One partner reportedly discovers some disturbing truths about the other shortly before they tie the knot. The drama will hit theaters on April 3.
