Team Edward save Robert Pattinson!

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson gets very cozy with his co-star blonde bombshell Reese Witherspoon on the set of Water for Elephants as the pair shot scenes in Los Angeles, CA on July 2, 2010. 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, IncTeam Edward to the rescue! A gang of Robert Pattinson fans reportedly protected the actor from keen members of the paparazzi.

Rob, 24, was filming scenes with Reese Witherspoon at the time.

He tells Telepoche magazine: ‘[The funniest fan experience] happened while I was filming Water for Elephants in which my partner is Reese Witherspoon. We had a scene with elephants but there were so many paparazzi around that it was scaring the animals and it was impossible to film.’

‘Out of the blue, fans, that were waiting for autographs, had enough and circled around the paparazzi. Teens made big guys run away. It was unreal! I was pleased.’
