Actor Robert Pattinson has revealed that he failed to recognise his co-star Zendaya while they were shooting for “The Odyssey”, despite starring in multiple projects with her.
Speaking at the London premiere of director Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of Homer's “The Odyssey”, Pattinson recalled that he did not even realise Zendaya was filming on the same day.
"I didn't know that she was on the set the day that she was shooting," Pattinson said. "It's so strange. We were so far away from each other, and I didn't even recognise, I didn't even say hi," he added.
In “The Odyssey”, Pattinson plays Antinous, one of the suitors of Penelope, portrayed by Anne Hathaway, while Zendaya essays the role of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare.

The two actors previously starred together in “The Drama” and are also set to reunite in “Dune: Part Three”.
Earlier this year, Pattinson praised Zendaya's performances during an interview. "She's incredible in ‘The Drama’ as well and in all of them," he said.
At a trailer launch event for “Dune: Part Three” in March, Pattinson joked that Zendaya may have helped him land a role in the franchise. Recalling a conversation with her during the filming of “The Drama”, Pattinson said he asked, "Can I get in one of those ‘Dune’ movies?"
"I know a guy," Zendaya replied, according to Pattinson.
Besides “The Odyssey” and “Dune: Part Three”, Zendaya will also be seen in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”. Pattinson's upcoming projects includes “Primetime”, “Here Comes the Flood” and “The Batman: Part II”.
