It’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it. Smouldering Twilight star Robert Pattinson opened up on the perks of fame during a recent interview with US chat show host Jay Leno, telling on filming Water For Elephants’ steamiest scenes, and working with ‘hot girls’.

The star made a rare appearance on the famous stage to promote new circus flick Water For Elephants, and spilled the beans on what it’s like to work with a bevy of beautiful actresses.

‘I like hot girls. I like them. I like being in movies with lots of hot girls,’ he joked before adding that luckily, his co-stars have all been very talented, too.

‘They’re all very strong, actually,’ he said, ‘I always end up being in movies with very experienced and passionate people. They’re never just flimsy floozies.’

Telling all on love scenes with A-lister Reese Witherspoon, R-Patz revealed it certainly wasn’t very romantic filming them on set.

‘The love scene in this, I was doing it when I had a really bad cold,’ he said.

‘I’m not generally that awkward doing stuff apart from when I’ve got my belly coming out. But my nose is running all over the place and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.’
