Robert Pattinson almost crushed by an elephant. Robert was on set for his movie, Water For Elephant and literally, almost got sat on by a huge beast! That wouldn’t be good for the future of the Twilight movies.

Robert wouldn’t last long underneath an elephant butt!

Robert – who stars alongside Reese Witherspoon in the forthcoming film Water for Elephants – narrowly escaped being crushed to death whilst trying to give the huge animal a bath.

A source said: ‘Robert slid right down the elephant’s back. It could have been a disaster – but he got lucky, landing face first in a pile of mud. He was filthy, but unharmed.

“Everyone on the set cracked up – especially Reese, who was laughing so hard she couldn’t catch her breath.”

Yeah, Reese thinks it’s funny because four tons didn’t almost get dumped on her. Are you looking forward to Robert’s new movie?
