'She's an incredible creature,' RPattz tells MTV News of 'Water for Elephants' focal point Tai.By Aly Semigran, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: MTV News Robert Pattinson has certainly had some very nice things to say about his "Water for Elephants" leading lady Reese Witherspoon, recently telling MTV News that she has a "nice energy about her." But it's obvious that RPattz holds a special place in his heart for another female co-star: Tai the Elephant. "She's an incredible creature," the 24-year-old actor said of his famous pachyderm co-star. In fact, he and Tai (Pattinson previously joked that she has "done way more movies than I have") got incredibly close at one point.
