Reese Witherspoon was not at all shy to admit how highly she thinks of Robert Pattinson, her co-star in ‘Water For Elephants.’ While Rob and Reese filmed the flick last year there were all sorts of rumors floating around that RPattz was hitting on her and the two couldn’t stop flirting.

So, naturally, Reese told the recent issue of USA Today:

“I’m not gonna lie. He’s a very, very handsome man. He’s sweet and loving and has the nicest family…He’s a very sensitive soul…I really liked them [the Twilight books], me and all my 30-year-old friends!” she says. “I love the books.”

Uh oh – wonder if Kristen Stewart‘s Twi-hard fans will come after Reese. You have to handle these things with kid gloves.
