Tom Holland playfully roasted Robert Pattinson after the The Batman star admitted he could not remember the last film he had shot. The Hollywood press tour is an art form, but when you pair two of Britain’s most charismatic leading men together, it quickly devolves into a masterclass in playful chaos.

From Pattinson making bizarre jokes about his character to Holland admitting he occasionally wanted to throw a punch during intense scenes, the press tour has been a goldmine of viral moments.

However, a recent promotional game took their affectionate rivalry to a whole new level.

Robert Pattinson's total mind blank on the press trail of The Odyssey

During a quick-fire game of “Who Am I?” for MTV UK, the usually sharp Robert Pattinson suffered a hilarious, total cognitive short-circuit. Faced with a clue about his own filmography, The Batman star drew a complete blank, staring into space and openly admitting he could not remember the last film he had shot or the actress he had shared the screen with. It was a classic, charmingly awkward Robert Pattinson moment, but Holland wasn’t about to let him off the hook easily.

"Oh, you are so busy! I am juggling so many projects," Tom Holland teased seamlessly, adopting a mock-pretentious tone to roast his co-star on the spot.

The affectionate jab sent the crew into fits of laughter and instantly circulated across TikTok and social media, with fans celebrating Pattinson’s relatable forgetfulness and Holland’s lightning-fast wit. The lighthearted exchange quickly became one of the interview's most talked-about moments, delighting fans of both stars.

Yet, this was not the only time Holland took a playful swipe at his co-star's expense during the tour.

Spider-Man vs. The Caped Crusader

When the conversation inevitably shifted from The Odyssey to their respective superhero alter-egos, Tom Holland proved he is just as quick to defend Marvel honor as he is to tease a friend. Robert Pattinson's Batman, according to Tom Holland, brings nothing new to the table when lined up against Spider-Man. Asked directly by Entertainment Tonight what edge the Caped Crusader holds over the web-slinger, Holland did not pause to think it over.

"I'd say nothing," he said to Entertainment Tonight. He then added, "He has more money than Spider-Man. That's about it, to be honest."

The savage response arrived only moments after Holland reflected on quieter, more sentimental territory during the same conversation. He described feeling like an eighteen-year-old again, comparing the sensation to watching the Avengers assemble for the first time. Being part of Christopher Nolan's company, alongside seasoned collaborators and a close friend on set, added to that full-circle feeling. The gratitude in his tone made the sudden, hilarious shift back into playful territory feel even more natural.

Ultimately, it is all love between the two stars. Whether they are battling it out in ancient Greece or trading barbs over fictional bank accounts, Holland and Pattinson are proving that the best part of a blockbuster release might just be the friendships forged along the way.
