Robert Pattinson advocates for split billing on dates

39-year-old Robert Pattinson revealed that he finds it appealing when a woman pays for dinner on dates. While promoting the romantic comedy "What a Drama!", the actor and his co-star Zendaya discussed splitting the bill on their first date.

"I find it quite sexy when a girl secretly pays. I think, 'Cool, she's going to take care of me,'" Robert Pattinson said.

Meanwhile, Zendaya revealed that while she might pay for her relationship with Tom Holland, it's her husband who usually takes the buck. The actress admitted that she'd be pleased if the man picked up the tab on their first date. She considers it "chivalrous."

The conversation sparked heated discussions online, with Pattinson's comments particularly harshly received by women, who called him a "plate-man." "How much does he have to pay for a manicure?" "Robert Cringe," "Edward Cullen wouldn't do that (a reference to Pattinson's role in Twilight - Ed.)," "I wonder what Suki Waterhouse (the actor's wife - Ed.) thinks about this," wrote subscribers of the KK Telegram channel.

As a reminder, 39-year-old Robert Pattinson is married to 34-year-old actress Suki Waterhouse, with whom he has a daughter. The couple secretly married last year and try to keep their personal life private. However, Robert has spoken about his paternity several times in the press. He recently acknowledged a special bond with his child.

It was recently revealed that 29-year-old Zendaya, who is currently suspected of being pregnant, secretly married Tom Holland. The actress's stylist, Law Roach, announced the news a month ago. Rumors of the couple's new relationship status arose after she was spotted wearing a ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
