Robert Pattinson's 'shady' red carpet comment raises eyebrows online with fans quick to connect the dots
It was meant to be an innocuous joke, but fans think Robert Pattinson may have accidentally said a little too much.
The 39-year-old actor was on the red carpet in Rome for the premiere of his new film The Drama when a reporter asked him: Which Zodiac sign is a red flag?
"Aries," Pattinson responded, laughing.

The pair met while filming Twilight and dated for four years, from 2009 to 2013.
Within hours, the clip was circulating widely, with viewers flooding the comments.
"JAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJJA Kris is Aries," one commented.
"KRISTEN STEWART SHADE," a second added.
Another questioned, "Randomly? Really?"
"Hahaha Kristen Stewart is Aries," another said.

The renewed interest has also brought their headline-making relationship back into focus.
In particular, attention has returned to the 2012 moment when Stewart was photographed with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, who was married at the time.
The scandal led to a very public apology, with Stewart later reflecting on the relationship years on.
"It was so clear who worked," Stewart, now 35, said during an interview with The New Yorker, reflecting on her instant chemistry with Pattinson.
"I was literally just, like (swooning).
"Whatever, we were young and stupid and, not to say that we made it so much better, but that's what it needed, and that's what anybody playing those parts needed to feel."

Since then, both have moved on.
Stewart came out publicly during a 2017 monologue on Saturday Night Live and later found love with screenwriter Dylan Meyer.
The couple, who reconnected years after first meeting on a film set, married in April 2025.
Pattinson, meanwhile, has been in a long-term relationship with singer and actress Suki Waterhouse since 2018.
They shared the arrival their first child in March 2024 and got engaged later that year after Waterhouse was spotted wearing a diamond ring.
