Robert Pattinson recalls first therapy session in candid interview with Zendaya

Robert Pattinson shares a humorous memory from his first therapy session during a candid chat with Zendaya

In a recent conversation with Zendaya for Interview Magazine, Robert Pattinson shared an awkward and unexpectedly funny memory from his first therapy session.

At one point, Zendaya asked Pattinson about the experience, prompting a surprisingly blunt recollection.

“I went to therapy once and the therapist asked me if I was on drugs because they could not understand what I was talking about. I was like, ‘I’m trying my best,’” Pattinson said.

The remark, delivered with his trademark dry humor, reflects the actor’s often winding, deeply introspective way of expressing himself, something audiences have seen throughout his career, from Twilight to The Batman and beyond.

The candid moment comes as Pattinson and Zendaya prepare for their upcoming film, The Drama, directed by Kristoffer Borgli and produced by A24.

The romantic comedy-drama explores a couple navigating emotional upheaval after a major revelation disrupts their engagement celebration.

Set for release on April 3, 2026, the film delves into themes of vulnerability, honesty, and emotional miscommunication, making Pattinson’s therapy anecdote feel oddly fitting.
