During a video interview posted to Letterboxd on March 29, Zendaya, 29, disclosed that she and Holland, who is also 29, possess a signed poster of the iconic film *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest*. The poster, which has been autographed by the legendary Jack Nicholson, left Pattinson, 39, visibly astonished. Upon hearing of this prized collector’s item, Pattinson couldn’t conceal his intrigue and admiration.

In the interview, Pattinson was lauding the influence *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest*, which was released in 1975, had on his career choice. It was then that Zendaya chimed in with her bombshell revelation. “We actually have a signed poster of *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Signed*,” she said, causing Pattinson to raise an eyebrow in disbelief. When asked who the signature belonged to, Zendaya confirmed it was none other than Nicholson’s—an answer that prompted an astonished, “What? How’d you get that?” from her co-star.

Zendaya took the opportunity to explain how this extraordinary item came into their possession, revealing that Tom Holland played a key role in securing it. “Tom. Tom figured it out, or somebody figured it out for Tom,” she explained, adding that it was actually one of Holland’s brothers who managed to procure the item. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she concluded, “Yeah. Pretty cool.”
The conversation unfolded as Pattinson reflected on the pivotal films that shaped his ambition to become an actor. He recounted watching *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest* in his younger years, recalling his initial uncertainty in pursuing acting and how seeing such performances motivated him. “I remember seeing *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest* and I didn’t do, like, acting in school or anything. You’re just trying to, like, figure it out,” he said.
Pattinson also shared memories of exploring film through a local video store where he discovered other classic films, including *A Clockwork Orange*, and reflected on how different they were from some of his earlier favourites like *Armageddon* and *Independence Day*. This exploration greatly influenced his understanding of cinema and acting, saying, “I remember watching especially *One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest* and thinking, like, ‘Oh, that’s like how you’re supposed to do it.'”
Zendaya and Pattinson are set to star together in the upcoming drama *The Drama*, where they portray a couple faced with unexpected challenges during their wedding week. Their characters, Charlie Thompson and Emma Harwood, are described as “a happily engaged couple” whose plans go off course due to unforeseen circumstances. The film is produced by A24 and is scheduled to hit theatres on April 3.
The trailer for *The Drama* suggests tension arising from a significant confession made by Emma to her fiancé, indicating that the plot will revolve around emotional complexity. Alongside them, actress Alana Haim and actor Mamoudou Athie will play another couple embroiled in their own dramatic storylines.
In addition to his collaboration with Zendaya in *The Drama*, Pattinson shares a close friendship with Tom Holland. The two actors have worked together in previous films, such as *The Lost City of Z* (2016) and *The Devil All the Time* (2020). They are also expected to appear in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film *The Odyssey*, which is set to release later this year.
Holland has previously expressed his admiration for Pattinson, stating, “I love Rob to death, he’s a good friend of mine.” This camaraderie appears to enrich both actors’ careers as they bolster one another in their respective projects.
As Zendaya and Holland continue to captivate audiences with their on-screen chemistry and thrilling narratives, the piece of signed memorabilia adds yet another layer to their ever-evolving relationship. With the release of *The Drama* on the horizon, fans eagerly await to see how the couple’s dynamic unfolds in this forthcoming film, while Pattinson can only look on with admiration for both his co-stars and their enviable collector’s item.
