"I think it's interesting, because you probably know what I thought about you before I met you, but I don't think I asked you what you thought about me," Zendaya said to Pattinson, 39.

"Truthfully, I met you because we had common friends, and you were always pretty quiet and chill, which is a little different from my experience of Rob," she continued. "You didn't say much, and I was like, 'Ooh, mysterious!' Then I talked to Tom and he was like, 'No, he's super fun and always laughing and joking,' and I was like, 'Really? I haven't experienced that side of him, I guess.'"

"That's so depressing. I wish I could stay in the mysterious. I've learned again and again that if you just don't speak, people are like, 'Wow. You're really intimidating,' but I just can't f---ing maintain it," said Pattinson.
