In between takes the two flirtatiously laughed and joked with each other before leaning in for a dramatic kiss scene that is sure to make any rumored girlfriends/boyfriends of the actors at least a little nervous! Fame Pictures, IncRobert Pattinson has revealed what it’s like to work with all the animals on the set of Water For Elephants.

‘Almost everyday I am working with an exotic animal,’ Rob explained to Celebs Sunday, ‘there are scenes where I am leading buffalo and elephants into cages.’

Rob even spoke about being bitten by a lion – however, it had no teeth.

‘It’s insane, like I got bitten on the arm by a lion with no teeth. They were like, “It’s fine, he does it all the time.” And I was like, “Erm, OK…”‘

‘But they had to get him to do it harder, because he was being so gentle and just licking my arm.’
