He, of course, played vampire Edward, rival to Taylor Lautner&#8217;s werewolf, Jacob, both vying for the love of Kristen Stewart&#8217;s human Bella.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I really enjoyed making the movies, but then there was such a huge marketing push behind it as well. I didn&#8217;t want to get my personal identity caught up in that, so I tried to push forward my individuality a little, and that kind of stuck with me,&#8221; Pattinson said. &#8220;It was also interesting getting famous off of playing a part \u2014 people thought I was that character in the beginning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\"><i>Robert Pattinson stars in &#8216;Twilight&#8217; in 2008 <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Summitt\/Deana Newcomb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, Pattinson &#8220;wasn&#8217;t precious about that identity because it wasn&#8217;t my identity to begin with. It\u2019s interesting to use the public perception of you as part of your character development, because you&#8217;re like, &#8216;I assume at least a few people in the audience are going to be expecting this,&#8217; so you can make it more dramatic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pattinson, who&#8217;s gone on to star in movies such as <em>The Batman<\/em>, <em>Mickey 17<\/em>, and <em>Die My Love<\/em>, had a mutual acquaintance with Zendaya, his costar in several upcoming films, in her partner Tom Holland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Challengers<\/em> star noted that she and Pattinson eventually met through multiple common friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You were always pretty quiet and chill, which is a little different from my experience of Rob,&#8221; she noted. &#8220;You didn&#8217;t say much, and I was like, &#8216;Ooh, mysterious!&#8217; Then I talked to Tom and he was like, &#8216;No, he&#8217;s super fun and always laughing and joking,&#8217; and I was like, &#8216;Really? I haven&#8217;t experienced that side of him, I guess.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pattinson deemed that &#8220;depressing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I wish I could stay in the mysterious,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve learned again and again that if you just don&#8217;t speak, people are like, &#8216;Wow.

He was embarrassed to join in the conversation about the HBO show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I was really quiet after. Everyone was discussing the episode, and I was still giving my opinion without having seen it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In their movie, <em>The Drama<\/em>, they portray an engaged couple: bookstore clerk Emma Harwood (Zendaya) and British museum director Charlie Thompson (Pattinson). They are &#8220;a happily engaged couple&#8221; who&#8217;s &#8220;put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>The Drama<\/em> arrives in theaters on April 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/robert-pattinson-says-therapist-thought-he-was-on-drugs-11908451\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Pattinson hasn&#8217;t always had the best experience with counseling. &#8220;I went to therapy once, and the therapist asked me if I was on drugs because they couldn\u2019t understand what I was talking about,&#8221; the actor tells Zendaya in a conversation for Interview Magazine. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;I&#8217;m trying my best.&#8221; The costars of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2287015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[356779,39188,29279],"class_list":["post-2287014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-kristen-stewart","tag-robert-pattinson","tag-zendaya"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Robert-Pattinson-says-a-therapist-once-asked-him-if-he.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2287014"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2287016,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287014\/revisions\/2287016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2287015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2287014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2287014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2287014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
