The Batman star’s confusion leads to a charming and comical exchange as Suki Waterhouse pretends they’re co-hosting the Netflix dating show.
Robert Pattinson got an unexpected surprise when his fiancée, Suki Waterhouse, prank-called him with a faux job offer to co-host Netflix’s Love Is Blind. In the latest episode of Elle’s “Phoning It In” series, Waterhouse tested Pattinson’s patience and humor by pretending that the couple had been tapped to lead the dating series, known for its unconventional approach to matchmaking.
Waterhouse began the call playfully, greeting her fiancé with, “Hi, my angel,” which led to an amusing pet name mix-up. Pattinson, caught off-guard, responded with confusion, “Hey, darling. Did you call me brother?” This lighthearted start set the tone for what would soon become an endearing yet bewildering conversation.
Waterhouse quickly dived into her prank, announcing she’d received an offer to co-host Love Is Blind and excitedly hinted that Pattinson could join her in this new venture. But the Batman star, seemingly unfamiliar with the show, couldn’t quite recall which series Waterhouse was referring to. “Which one is Love Is Blind again?” he asked.
When reminded, Pattinson responded with lukewarm enthusiasm, saying, “What an interesting turn of events.” Waterhouse continued to feign excitement, adding that the duo could co-host the show together, teasing Pattinson about how it would be “great” for him.
Amused yet baffled, Pattinson finally asked, “Darling, have you gone mad?” as Waterhouse struggled to suppress her laughter. His suspicion grew as the conversation continued, and he eventually inquired, “Are you joking? Is this whole thing a joke?”
After Waterhouse revealed the prank, Pattinson expressed his sweet support, saying, “If you think it’s right for you…” His calm reaction to her playful scheme earned him some brownie points, even as he realized he was the target of a joke.
In a heartwarming close to the call, Pattinson asked if he was unknowingly part of a TV show. Waterhouse reassured him, “No, you’re not on TV,” before cheekily adding, “You are gonna be on the internet, though.”
The couple’s playful interaction highlights their close bond, with Waterhouse’s lighthearted prank adding yet another charming moment to their relationship.
