Aww check out this cute photo of Robert Pattinson and an elephant.

There have been several newly released stills from soon to be released movie Water For Elephants, but our favourite has to be the one of Rob showing his softer side, snuggled up to an elephant.

24-year-old Rob plays Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student who drops out of school to join a traveling circus during the Great Depression. Reese Witherspoon plays a married star performer in the circus.

The film shows Rob’s character at a much older age reflecting back on his younger days and his adventures while traveling with the circus.
