When she ht the big time, Reese was about the same age as her Water For Elephants
co-star, Robert Pattinson, is now. "I wasn't used to people recognising
me on the street so I guess I can relate a little bit to what goes on
with Rob. I've has a pretty trippy life," she laughs.
As she and
R-Pattz publicisied their film last year, she admits that even she was
"taken aback" by his humility and charm, in the face of hundreds of
waiting Twi-hards. 'At the London premiere, people slept out in sleeping
bags and they were crying and sobbing, but he takes the time to say
hello to everybody and sign autographs." Rob surprised the film's cast
and crew, too. "I think everybdy was looking at him [expecting] to see,
'Ugh, this guy's some spoiled-rotten brat...' and he wasn't. He was
incredibly gracious, smart and actually shy and introverted. He's a very
grateful person."
