Reese Witherspoon Calls Co-Star Rob Pattinson A "Very, Very Handsome Man"

And to think, the Twilight hunk played Reese's son in Vanity Fair a few years back - how random!

Now Reese Witherspoon and Rob Pattinson co-star in the 2011 drama Water for Elephants and the rom-com queen tells USA Today the following: "I'm not gonna lie. He's a very, very handsome man."

Aw, Reese is Rob's biggest fan!

"The fervor and madness and girls waiting at 5 a.m. on a set in the middle of nowhere just to see him," says Witherspoon. "He's sweet and loving and has the nicest family. He's a very sensitive soul. He worked really hard. He looks great in the movie, too." Oh, and she adds: "Kristen [Stewart] is really sweet, too."

And is Reese a secret Twi-lover? "I really liked them, me and all my 30-year-old friends! I love the books."
