Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz were joined by fellow actors and other luminaries at the NYC premiere of their new film Water for Elephants which took place at the Ziegfeld Theatre last night. R. Pattz and Reese posed awkwardly for a few red carpet photos but it’s unclear if the awkwardness came from Reese‘s recent interview in Vogue magazine (where she referred to her love scenes with Rob as “unpleasant”) or Rob‘s general inability to handle press situations with any sort of suave smoothness. Check out some photos from last night’s premiere event below.

After already complaining about getting intimate with Twilight star Robert Pattinson this week, Reese Witherspoon was once again forced to cozy up close to her younger co-star tonight. The pair shared an uncomfortable cuddle as they posed for pictures on the red-carpet for the premiere of their new film, Water For Elephants, at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. The awkward embrace comes after the 35-year-old actress revealed that her steamy sex scenes with the 24-year-old were anything but enjoyable. Reese described her kissing scenes with the Twilight hunk as ‘unpleasant’. ‘He had a very runny nose,’ she told MTV, adding: ‘It wasn’t appealing. It wasn’t pleasant.’ Reese, who married talent agent Jim Toth last month, offered her co-star some advice for his future kissing scenes too. ‘Bring a Sudafed,’ she joked. Reese could barely force a smile on the arm of Robert, who had his arm wrapped around her waist. The duo appeared more comfortable when they posed with their co-star Hal Holbrook, who plays the older version of Pattinison’s character. Regardless of their lacklustre chemistry, the pair looked equally elegant for tonight’s occasion.

LOL! This story was just too funny not to share. I sincerely doubt that Reese had to “force a smile” to be near Rob. Her comments to Vogue were very tongue-in-cheek and, IMHO, quite hilarious. I think the fact that she can share that kind of humor about her work with Rob shows that the couple are very comfortable with one another. In any event, last night’s premiere party for Water for Elephants went off smoothly, without a hitch. I expect the promo train will make its way to LA for at least one more premiere before the film opens in theaters on Friday. It seems like we’ve been talking about this film forever … are any of y’all planning to see it opening night?
