Reese Witherspoon Says "Rob is a very sensitive soul. Kristen is really sweet, too."


USA Today As a circus performer in the 2011 drama Water for Elephants, Reese Witherspoon gets in the ring with her film paramour, movie veterinarian Robert Pattinson.

"I'm not gonna lie. He's a very, very handsome man," Witherspoon tells USA TODAY's Donna Freydkin.

The two had co-starred in the 2004 costume drama Vanity Fair. And yes, times have changed for Pattinson, who's now a reluctant heartthrob thanks to the blockbuster Twilight movie series.

"The fervor and madness and girls waiting at 5 a.m. on a set in the middle of nowhere just to see him," recalls Witherspoon, of their shoot. "He's sweet and loving and has the nicest family. Kristen (Stewart, Pattinson's girlfriend) is really sweet, too. He's a very sensitive soul. He worked really hard. He looks great in the movie, too."

Her daughter Ava, 11, met Pattinson, but wasn't smitten because she hasn't read the books yet. Witherspoon thought she was too young. "I really liked them, me and all my 30-year-old friends! I love the books," she says.

As for Witherspoon, does she have it written into her contracts that all her costars have to be hunky males?

"I do. How did you find that out? Someone's gotta do it. It's like America's Test Kitchen, but for making out with hot co-stars. I do it for the girls. I love my job. They're all really good guys. And I know all their girlfriends," she smiles.

Aww Reese met Kristen, too. So sweet!

Robert Pattinson is a kind soul who always had a smile to share. He was friendly as can be and I was lucky to have shared an amazing make-up artist (named Jean) with him and we often chatted while waiting on one another for our turn with her
And shares that Rob was called “RP” by the crew called him).

i think rob looks particularly hot on this set, dirty , the hair cut and all..<3 can't wait to see the movie

Can we quote Reese for saying "Kristen" (Rob's girlfriend)?!

lala/c said...

ah what can one say? music to our ears.hmmmmmmmmm especially the Kristen bit.

RobStenation said...

@Anon 10.00 Do we still need to? lol Its already an accepted fact and Reese didn't say girlfriend, but I think when she mentioned Kristen's name right after she described Rob and his family - that holds more weight.

Gina said...

Thats so sweet and cool. Just like Christina Ricci, its obvious Resse is compilenting Kristen because she met her on the WFE set. Christina Ricci also said nice things about Rob and Kristen in an earlier interview, saying she met Kristen on the Bel Ami set. They're acknowleging that Kristen is Rob's girlfriend.

Its a shame. I really want to hear from the OTR cast their opinions on Rob because he was on that set too. But no one has spoken about meeting him. Its as if he wasn't there :( I wish Garrett had mentioned he had met Rob in one of his interviews.

what a wonderful man....everybody confirm this every day...is he even aware of this?

From Anon 10.00
Oh!I know and believe they are for a long time but there are still a lot of people want them to confirm which I don't think they will anymore co'z there's no need to~ they are telling us they are together and serious by their actions.

Atticus said...

Exactly, lala/c...music to my ears. Even though I know R/K are a couple, it's still nice to hear it from people in the biz, especially Rob's female costars and the constant adjective they have for Kristen....sweet!

catrux said...

that was so sweet of Reese <3 it's interesting to hear all the people they've worked with say the greatest things about them both! and in this case, it's even sweeter because Reese mentioned Kristen as part of rob's "family" :)

Anonymous said...

I think USA today added the "stewart, his girlfriend" part for readers not in the know who Kristen is by her first name. Notice what Reese said at the end though, that these are all good guys(including robert) and she knows all their gfs"--in other words, this is professional, I'm taken, so is Robert, and he's great to work with. Awesome, she made it clear she "knows" his girlfriend...lol

Tatja said...

Aww this is just sweet. I love that Reese met Kristen too and like her. And I love the quote that .."they are really great guys, and I know their girlfriends too.." Just sweet of Reese. She is great actress!
I'm all in Robsten sweetness right now<3 And I'm gonna do a Robsten video right now!! Happy one! :)

Hey, if you guys want check my youtube account! Name is phenomenonable . :)

Anonymous said...

ps: This is just a stab at her inferences, but she said he was sweet and loving. I have a feeling that description is being used in relation to her seeing him with both his family and Kristen, both she declared she has met and gotten to know.

mujhiko_mujhiko said...

Kristen's a family. Wow..ahem.. Really adds fuel to the fire.. LOL!

Reese, you're sooo sweet and cool, too:)

Wow. What a difference a year makes. People were very hush, hush about Rob and Kristen and now it seems like they can't stop talking about them, that is except the Twilight people. They seem to be the only ones who have a gag order on what they say.

I knew there was no way Kristen did not go to WFE set or at least met Reese while they were filming. She (Kristen) couldn't let this one (Rob) go. ;)

D said...

I don't know how authentic this article is but it does say: "They're all really good guys. And I know all their girlfriends".

But I totally agree with S. It's not that they are denying anything. They are barely hiding it anymore either. They just don't want to speak about it which is a good way to keep private life just a little private.

And we do know for sure from the Eclipse Commentary that Kristen is quite familiar with the Water for Elephants set.

awww i think kristen visited the set.reese met his family[including kristen].i will be more happy when i read somewhere rob's family talked about kristen.

Anonymous said...

Ah ha! Reese is in on the PR conspriracy too! See, Summit told Fox that it would be good PR for Water for Elephants if she played along with the whole Rob and Kristen dating hoax since it would help sell tickets for Water for Elephants, too. THAT's how far this whole plot reaches!!!

Thought I'd save the Nonstens the trouble of having come up with a way to spin this one.

Canadian Girl said...

That Reese Witherspoon is one smart lady!!!

I am almost finished reading WFE...I have a chapter and a half so I can't wait for this movie.

Anonymous said...

I was about to say, "When did she meet Kristen?"
But you know what else...
I bet he talked nonstop about Kristen.
Awww!

jbells97 said...

I betcha she saw the "sweet and loving" part Rob had towards Kristen, and their undeniable closeness. Why else would she mention Kristen?

Crystal said...

This is so great, just saying "Kristen is sweet too," and expecting everyone to know who she was talking about, and that she's Rob's girlfriend. It is obvious to anyone with eyes, but should be painful to anyone who still insists that they aren't together. I don't know why, but it just makes me very happy!
I watched the Rob and Kris commentary this morning-loved it!

Anonymous said...

i love that this is actually the second movie they have done together. i wish she was asked if she has seen a difference in him such as with acting, and stuff.
what it was like to work with him on vanity fair compaired to now.

i love that reese met up with kristen. i didn't know that she got to be on set, but then again they did film in los angeles.
i am happy that they all got to meet up. awesome!

laurence said...

I think if I am told that in fact they are not together is no longer understand anything. this is a moment that I am and recently on your site and I get the impression that tongue loosed on them more and more do not you think? after the beautiful actress friend is the turn of Reez you think that they will eventually talk about it or something like that. in any case I hope they stay together and happy they are so adorable

RobStenation said...

@Gina First, they haven't done any press yet to speak about Rob or mention him on anything. Well, Garrett is doing press now for Tron but he has yet to be asked about Kristen or make mention of Rob. I doubt if he ever will bec guys as you know, do not usually talk about these stuff.

Anonymous said...

@11:18 I doubt you will ever hear Rob's family talking about Kristen. Aside from his talented sister(s), they really don't have reason to speak to the press and I suspect they will take the same path as R/K and not speak about the relationship.

Anonymous said...

Yes, who know if this is true? If it is, well and good. It's only good they visit each other on set. If it's not true, then kaching! $$$ Very smart PR move for WFE. They know all Robsten fans will go Awwwww..... and watch WFE multiple times and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank. 2 Academy Award winners don't come cheap you know!

Anonymous said...

@Canadian Girl. I agree, Reese is one smart lady indeed! All boils down to experience in the biz. Of course she's well informed of happenings too.

Anonymous said...

"America's Test Kitchen"--lol

Do you think Reese is subtely addressing all the haters with her last comment about knowing "all their girlfriends"? Like--don't even start the rumors about me & my costars because they were with their girlfriends (and she's happily "taken" too). She is one smart cookie!!

tri4mut said...

It's a great way to make me awake early in the morning hehe...

I read somewhere around the net that Kristen did visit Rob on WFE set and some BS websites used it for junk news. Bleh!

To Anon 11:10 AM: PR conspiracy or not, we all know they are together. Hoax or not, they love each other. You don't have to say things like that here. S, you should read her/his comment above.

Anyway, I think I want to visit Tatja's YouTube channel for now. Ciao ^^

mujhiko_mujhiko said...

I'm sorry, but are we done yet with the "if Kristen has done this, Robert has to reciprocate it, too, and vice versa"? Do we still need to speculate? The truth is already out there. We know it and we are already feasting on it everyday. The need to speculate more on the obvious is beyond me...

Anonymous said...

Poor Christoph! Nobody talks about him or asks about him. I believe he is the darkhorse that will outshine the rest of the cast.

Calihi27 said...

AWwwww! I love how both Rob and Kristen meet each others co-stars. And those co-stars are always so complementary of them both. I LOVE when people have such wonderful things to say about Rob. He continually shows what a sweet, kind person he is. I am SO looking forward to this movie!!! Le sigh.

They should sell their love story to the highest bidder (just like actresses sell their new baby pics), then give the proceeds to their favorite charity...everyone wins...we get to hear them talk about falling in love, a charity gets money, & the media has to pay to invade someone's privacy. If they did, I would totally watch that interview!!! :-)

RobStenation said...

@Anon 4.00 That will never happen, def not R/K. Money does not speak to them.

@Anon 1.39 I don't see any reason to doubt the interview.

@twi4mut I think 10:11 was being sarcastic about it all.

Leonie said...

Awww... Reese is too sweet, I love her! It's so cute what she said about Rob and Kristen<33

Anonymous said...

@1:39

Seriously? Take a PR class.

So if I have you correct, WFE which is a Fox movie is now taking part in the PR scheme that Summit has going for Twi. Riiiiiiiight.

Your comment is very disrepectful to Reese who is at the top of the profession. She has never felt the need to sell relationships to work her movies before why would she try it now?

Hard to believe but most people don't care if R/K are dating. Most people will go see WFE if the preview looks good or if they like the stars.

Anonymous said...

According to someone I know and you know on twitter, Resse said that stuff to please Summit, basically to stop KStew hate from fans. Is this true?

RobStenation said...

@ANon 5.38 I do not know who you are referring to but people can very inventive. No, its not true. Reese like Rob and Kristen is genuine, and like them, she also cannot be 'stirred'.

Anonymous said...

S. I totally thank you for addressing those who made the in my opinion negative comments. It was getting to be too much for me and I was quite offended. I was going to say something about it myself. I LOVE that you keep on top of EVERYTHING.

@Theresa I try. yw. :)

mujhiko_mujhiko said...

S, seriously, with this kinds of stupid questions, how many tablets of Tylenol did you take? Obviously this kind of questions give me the creeps. When a dirty tabloid digs on the impossible they believe it, but when a woman of integrity like Reese speaks and USA Today publishes it they call it PR and journalism cancer?? Woohoo! Is that a bit too much of their " the friend of a sister who happen to have a brother who has a friend working" formula? Are they saving face by playing bulshit? They should have known that this obvious situation offers them neither options nor bitching games to get around it. Well, they should know.... Its a known fact everywhere, now.

Sorry, S..


Well, obviuosly they haven't read about that cleaning lady story about Robsten in Rio! LOL!

RobStenation said...

@mujihiko lol I always keep the Tylenol bottle handy.

Fanny said...

This really proved that Kris is a sweet girl.This is not the first time we hear this.All of Kristen's co workers and people that met her said the same thing.

i think we have a new robsten fan
(reese), welcome to the club

Anonymous said...

It should be of no surprise to anyone on this! Rob's family came to visit on the set along with Kristen around the time of the eclipse press junket and Kristen had a dinner party for about 20 people where she made a meal for his and her family and maybe Reese too.
I think KS made her Loguat crumble too!
Robsten are together so no surprise that Reese comments about them!
