Yikes!
It’s no secret Robert Pattinson was totally in “like” with his Water For Elephants co-star Tai the elephant.
The films human leading actressReese Witherspoon, described Tai following Pattinson as “sort of like man’s best friend ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ even though she’s 9,000 pounds.”
Pattinson recounts “insane” days, including one when the script finds Waltz taunting Pattinson to hand-feed a hungry lion. Pattinson opens the cage, and the lion pounces.
“We did the first take, and sure enough, the lion just ripped the (prosthetic) arm in and wouldn’t give it back,” Pattinson says. “He didn’t even care about the meat. He just wanted to eat the fake arm. I was absolutely terrified.”
That’s when Rob coined the phrase “no acting required in the lion scenes.”
