Robert Pattinson still can't believe how anyone could be Team Jacob.
In an interview with French outlet Canal+ ahead of Pattinson and Zendaya's upcoming film The Drama, a reporter brought up the age-old question surrounding the hit Twilight franchise that launched Pattinson, 39, to stardom. In the movies, Pattinson's Edward Cullen, a vampire, competed with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a werewolf, for the affections of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
"I'm Team Edward all day, let's go," Zendaya, 29, answered.
After hilariously questioning if he himself was Team Jacob, Pattinson offered a witty response to the "Team Edward or Team Jacob" question.
"No one's Team Jacob," Pattinson said with a laugh. "That was just a marketing thing."
"I was," the reporter tells Pattinson in the clip, who jokingly replies "sorry" as Zendaya is heard laughing. "That's crazy," Pattinson adds.
"Yeah, I need to get, you know, the merch," Zendaya chimed in. "I need to get the whole thing."
"There's a revival of Twilight at the moment," the reporter tells the pair, to which Pattinson replies, "I know, it's crazy."

Pattinson's other recent co-star, Jennifer Lawrence, echoed Zendaya's Team Edward opinion in an interview with Esquire in 2025 ahead of the release of their film Die My Love.
"Team Edward or Team Jacob?" Pattinson asked her. "In the books, Jacob," Lawrence, 35, answered. "In the movie, Edward."

As he continues to build his resumé of eclectic roles, Pattinson said several years ago that he was still surprised at the Twilight franchise's popularity.
"I mean, it's a weird story, Twilight. It's strange how people responded," Pattinson told Jennifer Lopez for Variety's Actors on Actors series in 2019. "They are very romantic, but at the same time, it's not like The Notebook romantic. The Notebook is very, very sweet and heartbreaking and stuff. Twilight is about this guy who finds the one girl he wants to be with, and also wants to eat her. Well not eat her, drink her blood, whatever."
"I thought there were definitely bits that were very romantic," he continued at the time. "But to me, I thought it was a pretty weird story. and even when I was promoting it, I was pretty open about how strange I thought it was when I was doing it."
The Drama hits theaters on April 3. Pattinson and Zendaya also have roles in The Odyssey, out on July 17, and Dune: Part Three, out on Dec. 18.
