A new still of Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon from the set of Water For Elephants was revealed. In this picture, the two of them keep Tai the Elephant company.

Pattinson shared a touching story on how he became best buddies with Tai. He said in order to get the elephant to trust him, he would place mints on his body (strategically by sucking on them and placing them on his body) and cover them up with his clothes. Of course, he kept mum on this and so every time, the elephant would sniff around, looking for the source of the scent. Pattinson played dumb, constantly telling those around him that he didn’t know why Tai kept sniffing him.

During his LA press conference, Pattinson finally gave up his secret.

I find that pretty amusing. The mints must’ve smelled really good!
