As every single human on Earth knows (we’re all programmed from birth to wait for this moment), Robert Pattinson is in a film called Water for Elephants. It stars Robert Pattinson, water and, crucially, some of our elephant cousins.

Of course, the film needs someone with charisma and acting prowess which, in the case of this film, comes in the shape of the 9,000-pound Asian elephant called Tai.

At a press conference with co-star Reese Witherpsoon, Tai the Elephant spoke fondly about Pattinson and his unswerving dedication to winning over the giant actor who, at regular intervals in the press meet, defecated and casually threw peanuts into its gaping mouth with its weird nose-hand.
