Twilight fans all across the globe will no doubt be buzzing to hear Robert Pattinson giving a very firm answer to a decade-old question about the cult film franchise.
Speaking to French outlet Canal+ ahead of his upcoming romance flick, The Drama, which also stars Zendaya, the pair shared their thoughts on the ongoing 'Team Edward' / 'Team Jacob' debate.
For anyone out of the loop, Pattinson played vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies while Taylor Lautner took on the role of werewolf Jacob Black, who basically spent a five-film-long saga competing for the affections of Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan.
During the interview, Zendaya, 29, revealed she was 'Team Edward all day' before the 39-year-old British actor shared his thoughts on the decade-spanning discourse.

When asked which side he was on, Pattinson simply declared with a laugh: "No one’s Team Jacob.
"That was just a marketing thing."
"I was," the reporter revealed, prompting Pattinson to say 'sorry' before adding: "That's crazy."
Zendaya, who could be heard laughing throughout the exchange, then piped up: "Yeah, I need to get, you know, the merch. I need to get the whole thing."
"There's a revival of Twilight at the moment," the reporter then explained to the two Hollywood A-listers, to which Pattinson replied: "I know, it's crazy."
Pattinson and Zendaya's upcoming film is set to hit cinemas next week (3 April).
The A24 film, directed by Kristoffer Borgli, follows a happily engaged couple, Emma and Charlie, who 'get put to the test when an unexpected revelation sends their wedding week off the rails'.
The trailer sees the pair enjoying some drinks with pals, played by Alana Haim and Mamoudou Athie, before the light-hearted conversation takes a major turn when they each go round and reveal 'the worst thing they’ve ever done'
And, judging by everyone's reactions to Zendaya's character's disclosure, it was a pretty big deal.
It's definitely been tricky dodging the avalanche of spoilers online, given that social media feeds are flooded with speculation on what 'the worst thing' plot twist could have been.
Pattinson and Zendaya have worked on three films in total together.
Alongside The Drama, they've also starred in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, set to come out in July, as well as Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, which will grace our screens in December.
The Drama will be screened in selected cinemas from next week (3 April).
