Reese Witherspoon Can’t Stop Gushing About Robert Pattinson

British actor Robert Pattinson of “The Twilight Saga” fame is incredibly good looking and simply the sweetest guy on earth – at least, according to co-star Reese Witherspoon, who is not afraid to admit she’s not blind to his charms.

In a recent interview cited by PopEater, the Oscar-winning actress reveals that, while she’s engaged to be married to her beau Jim Toth, that’s not to say she hasn’t noticed how handsome and nice Pattinson is.

The two, Witherspoon and Pattinson, play onscreen lovers in the upcoming “Water for Elephants” so, understandably, they had to shoot a couple more intimate moments for it last summer.

“He’s so amazing and wonderful and sweet. And just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup. I mean, he’s just so good looking, and he’s a really nice person,” Reese gushes.

Talented and also Oscar winning Christoph Waltz of “Inglourious Basterds” is also in the film: as the trailer below will show, he plays Reese’s husband and therefore Robert’s biggest enemy.

Reese is keeping praises of Christoph to herself for now but that’s probably partly explained by the fact that she met Pattinson before he became famous with “Harry Potter” and “Twilight.”

In 2004, Reese did “Vanity Fair” and Pattinson was brought in for a scene in which he played her son. The scene did not make it into the film, but the actress recalls being struck by his good looks ever since then.

“He was walking down this corridor, and I turned to the director, and I said, ‘That’s my son? He’s so good looking!’ I was like, ‘He’s so hot!’” says the actress.

Back in December last year, Reese first talked about what it was like to work with one of the most popular and beloved young stars of the moment and said she almost had troubles believing Pattinson’s presence could cause such a frenzy with fans.

That was the first time Reese gushed publicly about Pattinson’s good looks.

Below is the trailer for “Water for Elephants.” The film comes out in April.
