Seems it’s not only humans who come over all funny for the pretty face that belongs to Robert Pattinson, oh no, apparently elephants think he’s a bit of trunk tease too.

During filming for his latest movie, Water For Elephants, a four-ton ellie called Rosie was enjoying being bathed by the actor (and who wouldn’t), when she got so frisky she decided to try and crush the Twilight star. As you would.

A source on set said: “Robert slid right down the elephant’s back. It could have been a disaster – but he got lucky, landing face first in a pile of mud. He was filthy, but unharmed. Everyone on the set cracked up, especially Reese, who was laughing so hard she couldn’t catch her breath”.

Reese Witherspoon not catch her breath, oh god willing.
