Newly married Reese Witherspoon says she could learn a thing or two about fame from Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson.
Did she try to give him advice? “Me?!” she gasped to USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell via phone. “If anything I’d probably be asking his advice. He has, like, military tactics to avoid paparazzi. It’s pretty incredible the operations that go on.”
In the film (a tan!) R-Patz takes a break from hunky vampire Edward Cullen to join the Water for Elephants’ 1930s-set circus. And while Reese says her kids are still too young for Twilight, the age range of fans camping out by the Water for Elephants set was unbelievable. “I’ve worked with a lot of people but I’ve never seen the amount of attention or paparazzi or just fans camped out on the edge of the set ever in my whole life,” she says. “There’d be little, little girls camped out, 7-year-olds with their parents at 4 o’clock in the morning. Five o’clock in the morning we’d pull off of set – I was bleary eyed and there’d be 10 women waiting on the roof of their cars just trying to see him.”

Here’ s a new behind the scenes video and interview with ET
Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon find forbidden love under the big top in their new period drama ‘Water for Elephants,’ and Reese says the film is “full of peril and drama and danger and love and romance.”
“It’s that kind of romance that is about second chances,” explains Reese. “Sometimes you can be in your life and sort of trapped in a circumstance that you just can’t get out of, and one day someone comes along and throws you a rope and you have an opportunity at a new life.”
Based on the best-selling novel by Sara Gruen, ‘Water for Elephants’ follows an elderly man (Hal Holbrook) reminiscing about his days working as an animal caretaker at a circus. A young veterinary school student (Robert) witnessing the beauty and brutality of life under the big top, he falls for Marlena (Reese), the captivating star performer, and suffers the wrath of her charismatic but dangerous husband, August (Christoph Waltz). advertisement
“He falls in love with her at first sight,” says Robert of his character. “She just seems kind of magical to him, and she doesn’t see herself as that at all. She sees herself as just like a work horse, that’s it, and thinks there’s no fantasy in life and all, and he just refuses to see her as anything else other than this complete fantasy figure.”
