Robert Pattinson, known for his role as vampire Edward Cullen, starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in the 2011 film Water for Elephants.
Despite fans' anticipation of a romantic scene between the two stars, Witherspoon revealed in an interview with MTV that kissing Pattinson during the movie was far from enjoyable.
During the filming of Water for Elephants, both Witherspoon and Pattinson were in relationships with other people.
Witherspoon was dating her then-future husband Jim Toth, while Pattinson was romantically involved with his Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart.
Pattinson, aged 26 at the time, confessed that he often got carried away during kissing scenes, forgetting the presence of the crew around him.
It was only after the kiss ended that he realized the audience observing them, leading to moments of embarrassment.
In a peculiar turn of events, Pattinson was under the weather while shooting a love scene with Witherspoon.
The actor shared that he had a severe cold during the filming, resulting in a runny nose that led to an uncomfortable experience for both actors.
Despite the challenging circumstances, Witherspoon and Pattinson shared a friendship that dated back to their earlier collaboration on the film Vanity Fair in 2004.
Witherspoon recalled being impressed by Pattinson's looks when they first met, commenting on his attractiveness.
Reflecting on their time working together on Water for Elephants, Witherspoon expressed gratitude for Pattinson's kindness and professionalism on set.
Despite the less-than-ideal conditions during their intimate scenes, Witherspoon praised Pattinson's character and described him as a wonderful person.
Their bond extended beyond the film set, with Witherspoon describing their interactions as filled with laughter and camaraderie.
In a supportive gesture, Witherspoon offered Pattinson solace during a challenging period in his personal life when news of Kristen Stewart's affair broke in 2012.
Having endured her fair share of public scandals, Witherspoon empathized with Pattinson's situation and provided him with a safe haven at her California ranch.
Their enduring friendship showcased the mutual respect and understanding between the two actors, transcending the challenges they faced while working together on screen.
