Robert Pattinson said in a recent MTV interview that he had a gala time shooting for his upcoming flick ‘Water for Elephants’.

The actor not only commended the spectacular performance by his leading lady for the film, the Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon but also applauded the female elephant that shot with him for the movie.

The author, who is best known for his roles in the flicks like Twilight and Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire, accentuated that the performance of his female elephant co-star lest him spell-bound as he found her a ‘full-on method actor’.

The 24-year-old actor also unveiled that the most intense moment with Tai was when he almost got into her mouth.

He stated, “The most incredible thing in the world. You're being lifted up by her gums. ... She puts just the right amount of pressure on so she isn't hurting you. It's so strange”.

The movie Water for Elephants is basically based on the novel written by Sara Gruen by the same name.

The actor plays the role of a vet student Jacob Jankowski who get into a train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It is there he meets his heartthrob Marlena, played by Witherspoon, and the romance springs up.
