Why Robert Pattinson was chosen for the lead in film Water For Elephants

Robert Pattinson is hot as Twilight's vampire Edward Cullen, but he's also amazing as Jacob in Water For Elephants.

In a behind-the-scenes interview, the film's director Francis Lawrence reveals why he had to have Robert for the role of a 23-year-old student who decides to become a vet in a travelling circus after his parents are killed.

'When we started looking for people to play Jacob,' Francis, 41, explains, 'it was really tricky because a lot of guys that age still really felt like boys to me.

'We realised [Rob] understands the vulnerabilities and complexities of the character.'

The gorgeous actor didn't only impress the director, his co-star Reese Witherspoon, 35, also gives him a glowing review.

'Jacob has a lot of conflict,' she says. 'Rob had a very thoughtful way of conveying that.
