Reese Witherspoon: Robert Pattinson 'Water For Elephants' Sex Scene 'Disgusting, Disappointing'

Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson share a much-hyped love scene in their upcoming film, "Water for Elephants," but the newlywed Witherspoon wasn't very impressed with her co-stars game.

Speaking to In Touch, Witherspoon complained the leaking nose Pattinson was suffering while filming the scene.

"Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I've ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life," she told the magazine. "He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it - and it was not appealing. I'm talking green, infectious, disgusting - I'm not kidding!"

In February, Witherspoon spoke about how she anticipated having a good time during the shoot.

"We'll probably just laugh the whole time, because all we do is joke around and laugh... we just have a great time," she told Entertainment Tonight.

To be fair, Pattinson did say this his favorite co-star was the film's elephant.

Snot or not, the film will be released on April 22nd.

Someone please tell me what is this book about? If they hurt elephants, one of my favorite animals, then I don't want to read it nor see the movie. Love Reese though, not RP, ugh!

I know that in the film making business, time is money, but actors (and any other employee) should be given time to recover from contagious illnesses. What if the entire cast and crew got sick? Then what would they do?

...at $100,000+ in production costs per day, they take cold medications.

Julia Roberts said the one down side of being an actor is you have to work even when you're sick.

Read the book while on a weekend visit because I flew and I love reading on a plane, tho a short flight. I couldn't put the book down. I loved it, so that usually means I will be disappointed with the movie. Will probably watch it once it comes out on DVD. Though I pray they show NO cruelty to the animals as that is how it was in the book.

"watch it once it comes out on DVD"

From what we are reading, you shouldn't have a very long wait.

The books are consistently better than the films but I think that's because as we read through the book we create our own version of the characters, their voices, faces, gestures, movements which sometimes correspond with that which we admire and seek out in our own lives. Sounds like you loved the book so much that you should watch the movie; just go into it without an expectations as though you're hearing the story for the first time. I hope they show no cruelty to animals either as it always moves me to tears. I bet your one of those girls, as was I, you cried for days after watching "Born Free" or "Bambi". I'm still ticked off that they killed Bambi's mother.

Enjoy your weekend.

Based on this, should the film not be entitled, "Water for Cougars"?

He doesn't have to be sick to be that disgusting to me. I'm sick that they put him in that role. I loved the book but will pass on movie.
