    Robert previously spoke about how he was going “crazy” for days while preparing to film a scene in The Drama.

    He said it took a 2-hour call with the Dune star to quell his concerns.

    “We had a scene together that was driving me crazy,” the Harry Potter actor told French magazine Premiere in a March interview.

    The actor said his co-star managed to calm him down when he phoned her up to share his concerns.

    “I was desperately looking for its meaning, writing pages and pages of textual analysis,” the actor recalled. “I ended up calling Zendaya the night before shooting the scene.”

    “I shared my doubts with her, I spoke for two hours, and after a while, very calmly, she made me understand that the line just said what it meant to say, that there was no hidden meaning,” he continued. “And there I was going crazy for three days.”

    “She made me understand,” the Twilight star said about his call with Zendaya

    The actor admitted he sometimes reads into his scripts far more than necessary.

    “I tend to stumble over the meaning of things,” he told the French magazine.

    “To the point of overdoing it, trying to solve mysteries that aren’t really mysteries,” he said.

    “Are y’all broken up or not?” Tom was asked during an interview with TMZ last December.

    “No, absolutely not,” he replied.

    He also told the Hollywood Reporter last year that he and his fiancée are “quite protective” of their relationship.

    “We want to keep as sacred as possible,” he said. “We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

    “Yall almost gave me a heart attack!” one commented on the fake engagement announcement

    Netizens were surprised to see the fake engagement announcement featuring Robert and Zendaya’s photo, with one saying, “Poor spidey!!!”

    “They should be good together,” read another comment.

    “Movie promotion got people confused lmao me included,” one commented
