Reese Witherspoon: Pattinson is cool

Robert Pattinson is “a really cool guy”, says Reese Witherspoon.

The actress starred alongside the Twilight heartthrob in the 2011 movie Water for Elephants and describes him as humble and grounded.

Reese became the envy of millions of Pattinson fans playing his love interest in the romantic drama and she has nothing but praise for the hunk.

"[He's] a really cool guy," Reese told MTV News. “I've never experienced what he has — going to premieres and there's just millions of people waiting for him to touch them. I think it must be strange, but I don't even know how to process what he deals with and Kristen [Stewart] deals with. I don't know."

Reese is currently promoting her new movie This Means War.

The Oscar-winner has enjoyed a hugely successful career but insists she has never experienced the level of hysteria that surrounds Robert.

The mother-of-two says her former co-star is level-headed and she was impressed by his dedication to acting.

"I would say [he is] the hardest-working person I've ever worked with, honestly," Reese added. "[He's] professional, hard-working, so appreciative, more grateful than I've ever seen anyone for where he is in life."
