Robert Pattinson has revealed how a gassy elephant unleashed a terrifying fart in Reese Witherspoon’s face on the set of their new movie.
The pair worked with Tai the elephant on forthcoming film Water For Elephants, and appearing on Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Pattinson told how his co-star managed not to flinch as the animal cut the cheese in a big way right in her face.
‘She had to do some tricks and ended up rolling underneath the elephant that went back on her hind legs and did the most incredible fart directly in Reese’s face for a good 45 seconds,’ he recalled. ‘It shows Reese’s absolute commitment to the job. She just stood there and took it!’
However, despite her windy ways, Pattinson formed a bond with the playful pachyderm, and even let her carry him around in her mouth.
‘The first time I met Tai the elephant I got in her mouth,’ he explained. ‘I just felt like it was a good place to be and she carried me around. They are incredibly gentle. They have huge lips at the front and their teeth are at the back. They just put enough pressure down to hold you in.
‘They are incredible animals. I kind of want to be an elephant.’
HollywoodLife.com is reporting that Reese will be on the cover of the May issue of US Vogue! This will be part of the Water For Elephants promotion. I’ll be on the lookout for confirmation of this and if it is indeed true, then I’ll post the cover as soon as it’s released. I hope it’s true and can’t wait to see this!

REESE Witherspoon says it was a “nightmare” having to ride a horse in her new movie Water for Elephants.
The actress admits wearing tights while on the animal hurt her legs!
“I trained to ride an elephant for about three months before filming but I was always wearing jeans,” says Reese.
“So when I showed up on set and I actually had to get up there in tights I was like ‘Ouch!’ My legs felt like they were getting stabbed by little needles. It was a nightmare.”
Reese recently talked about working with Robert Pattinson on Water for Elephants.
I am so lucky. He’s so amazing and wonderful and sweet and just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup,” she revealed. “I mean, he’s just so good looking and he’s a really nice person.
“We’ll probably just laugh the whole time, because all we do is just laugh and joke around.”
A few new details/quotes relating to Water For Elephants have arisen from recent interviews, mainly with Robert Pattinson, recently. Here they are whittled down for you:

# Reese Witherspoon loved Tai. They have a routine together in the movie, so she trained with Tai for countless hours over many weeks.
# Tai would recognize Rob and Reese because they spent so much time together on the set.
Robert Pattinson on the movie, speaking to Ryan Seacrest:
“It’s sort of a big beautiful old-fashioned love story . . . set in the ‘30s . . . me and Reese Witherspoon playing lovers, it’s very sweet,” he elaborated. One of the interesting stories coming off of his work on the film has been his strong working relationship with and respect for the movie’s elephant, Tai, which portrays “Rosie,” an important and influential circus creature.
“It’s completely amazing . . . working with kids or elephants . . . they’re the most kind of sophisticated, gentle creatures you could hope to work with. I mean right from the very first day . . . when I met Tai who plays Rosie in the movie . . . she was with five or six other elephants, and it is kind of intimidating in the beginning, especially when they’re standing on their back legs. . . I got carried around in her mouth and stuff . . . and you suddenly realize how incredible they are,” he said.
