Robert Pattinson had no problem working alongside an elephant, being lifted up into the creature's mouth and improvising with her on take after take. He did, however, have a lot of trouble working with "Water for Elephants"
co-star Reese Witherspoon, at least when it came time to dance.
"That was the one bit I was most nervous about because there are tons of extras who are really good dancers, and they're all doing the Charleston. And Reese is a really great dancer," Pattinson laughed during a recent MTV News interview. "Reese said she couldn't even do the practice with me, so she did the practice with the dance teacher."
