Rob recently talked to BBC about Water For Elephants and more!

Robert Pattinson says he prefers making romantic comedies over CGI films because “they’re incredibly boring to make”.

Speaking ahead of the release of his new movie Water For Elephants, the British actor told Newsbeat that he’d much rather do romcoms.

“If you want to do big movies you have to do either big action explosion movies or you do romances because they’re the only things that get made,” he said.

“I think romances allow you to develop a character more. I hate working with computerized stuff. It’s incredibly boring.”

‘Boring to do’

Pattinson, who rose to fame after playing the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, also had a dig at action films saying although he likes watching them, they’re boring to make.

He said: “If they’re just well written [I'd consider an action movie] but it’s not good writing most of the time.

“I enjoy watching them but it would be boring to do. You’ve basically got to do it if you want to be famous.”

In Water For Elephants, the 24-year-old British actor plays a vet who runs away with a circus and falls in love with one of the performers, played by Reese Witherspoon.

He admitted that he decided to do the film after meeting the elephant used in the production.

“I met the elephant before I accepted the movie and before I’d read the script,” he said “It really was [the deal breaker].

Breaking Dawn

“I remember going home in the car waiting to read the script and I was like, ‘Please, please be good.’

“I’d basically already decided to do the movie not knowing anything about it just because I got on really well with the elephant and thought it was really fun.”

The actor also revealed that filming for the final Twilight films, Breaking Dawn parts one and two, has now finished.

“I’m sure we will have to do something,” he said. “We finished a week and a half ago. All done.”

“Yeah, she (Kristen Stewart) loved that [wedding] scene. It’s a very girly scene.”

“I do quite a few scenes with a baby and that’s quite odd. It’s so different in those movies because we were doing it with a real baby. But it was fun.”

How to explain the phenomenon of Rob Pattinson? One could focus on his looks (Byronic, smoldering, perfect), zeroing in on the cheekbones (razor-sharp, perfect), blue eyes (mysterious, a whole Facebook page dedicated to them, perfect), and that hair (tousled, lustrous, finger lickin’)…

Robert Pattinson Dishes On Being Intimidated By Reese Witherspoon
(ET Canada)

Robert Pattinson sat down with our Erin Cebula to chat about what it was like filming “Water For Elephants” with Reese Witherspoon.

And when she asked whether he was more intimated by the 9,000 pound elephant named Rosey, or Reese, he said: “Actually, definitely Reese.”

Reese Witherspoon‘s March 26 wedding to agent Jim Toth was one of the most talked about events of 2011 so far, and the actress spilled details on how it feels to have her private life in the public spotlight.

“I think you don’t really understand why people are interested in you or your life or your personal life, but I gave up trying to figure out a long time ago,” Reese told “The Insider” co-host Kevin Frazier. “And now it really is like a gift in my life. I feel like I’m always met with a lot of positive energy and people wanting to hug me or feel good about me.”

Reese stars in ‘Water for Elephants’ alongside Robert Pattinson, playing a married woman who engages in a love affair with Robert, who plays a circus animal caretaker. The two have a few steamy love scenes, but the actors leaked that it may not have been as sexy as it seemed.

“I never had a love scene with a person that sick in my entire life,” said Reese. “He was like infectiously ill.”

In addition to Robert’s unhealthy state, Reese also had to contend with the general dirtiness of the set while filming in the desert, but she had no complaints.

“It was very authentic,” said Reese. “It was very much like the Dust Bowl and California in the 1930s… The privilege and the opportunity of getting to make a movie that’s so interesting – you know, movies don’t come along like this very often – and it’s just such a great story.”

‘Water for Elephants’ stampedes into theaters April 22.

Reese Witherspoon wed agent Jim Toth on March 26, but she was right back to work on Sunday, April 3 talking to ET correspondent Chris Jacobs about her marriage and new movie with Robert Pattinson.

“It’s good,” Reese said of the first week of her marriage. “Now I’m working. How did that happen?”

In her new movie ‘Water for Elephants,’ Reese plays a married star performer in a circus who catches the attention of a young animal caretaker, played by ‘Twilight’ star Robert and the two dished on their steamy on-screen chemistry.

Reese joked that the key for performing their love scenes was to approach the situation “slowly.” The actress may have become embarrassed when Robert revealed that previous to their big screen love affair, the two played mother and son in a movie when Robert was 17 and Reese was 27.

“How ’bout that?” said Reese. “Somebody said to me, ‘Was it totally weird, like, being so much older than Rob?’ And I was like, ‘I’m not that much older than Rob.’”

Robert Pattinson on the joys of ‘moonshine’ and flirting with ‘Elephants’

Where does Robert Pattinson begin and Edward Cullen end? At this point in the young “Twilight” thesp’s career it’s tough to separate the heartthrob actor from the heartthrob bloodsucker, but he’s currently making his second attempt at changing all that – after one false start with the disappointing “Remember Me” – with “Water for Elephants”, the upcoming adaptation of Sara Gruen’s bestselling historical novel. In the film, Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, a circus veterinarian who gets involved in a messy love triangle with equestrian beauty Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and her ruthless animal-trainer husband August (“Inglourious Basterds’” charming Christoph Waltz).

Given the talent pedigree of the film, which was directed by “I Am Legend” helmer Francis Lawrence, it would seem a smart choice for Pattinson to take on the more “adult” role opposite Witherspoon and Waltz, though the actor certainly wasn’t about to admit to that kind of career calculation to a room full of image-burnishing journalists (he needs to stay “relatable”, after all). He’d rather have us believe he accepted the part merely for the opportunity to work with “Tai” (in the film she’s named ”Rosie”), the trained elephant who in the film is purchased by August to help boost his traveling show’s anemic ticket sales.

“I basically decided to do the movie at that point”, said the elegantly-rumpled Pattinson of first meeting the pachyderm, who’d earlier been on display outside the swanky Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica where the press conference was being held. “I hadn’t read the script or anything!”

Luckily he wasn’t on the panel for Pattinson to unintentionally offend screenwriter Richard LaGravenese – only Lawrence, Waltz, and Witherspoon, the latter speaking in that slight Tennessee drawl as she described her own first encounter with the enormous animal.
“Francis and I went out and visited Tai probably three months before shooting, or four months before shooting, and [he] brought a camera. [Laughs] And I was like, ‘why [is he bringing] a camera?’ And then he took pictures of me, every moment, the first experiences I had of meeting her”, the actress recounted. “Then he sent me the pictures, and I was like ‘oh my gosh!’…I looked terrified, basically.”
“You were?” Pattinson asked her, seemingly dumbfounded.
“Oh, the first time I was terrified, yeah”, she answered. “I screamed!”

VANCOUVER, B.C. — When Stephenie Meyer walks into a room of Twilight fans, there’s no doubt she’s their undisputed vampire queen.

Ten lucky Twilight fans from around the world have come to this metropolitan Canadian city to meet the mega-selling author whose young-adult novels about an alluring vampire and his human soul mate have entranced them since 2005.

It’s hard to say who’s enjoying this total Twilight talkfest more — the attendees or the writer.

“I just love having the chance to sit down with a small group of fans,” says Meyer, who is looking a little more Hollywood these days and a bit less like a suburban mom of three. “Bigger events are just too nerve-racking.”

For this literary star, the days of chatting with a few fans at a local bookstore are over. Meyer is an international celebrity. Her books sell in dozens of countries. The film versions are hotly anticipated. Fan sites have gone viral.
