Reese Witherspoon has admitted that she was "disappointed" by her love scenes with Robert Pattinson in Water For Elephants.

The actress told In Touch that Pattinson was not well when they filmed their sex scenes together.

Witherspoon said: "Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I've ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life.

"He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it - and it was not appealing. I'm talking green, infectious, disgusting - I'm not kidding!"

She added: "I'm going to say it's a little bit of a downer. I was a little disappointed. It wasn't sexy."

Pattinson has claimed that Witherspoon is "a lot bawdier" and "a lot more raucous" than people might think.
