Reese Witherspoon: Robert Pattinson is amazing

Reese Witherspoon says she’s “so lucky” to have Robert Pattinson as a friend. The actress met the hunky British Twilight star while filming Water for Elephants, and said he is one of the nicest people she has ever met.

“I am so lucky. He’s so amazing and wonderful and sweet and just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup,” Reese revealed. “I mean, he’s just so good looking and he’s a really nice person.

“We’ll probably just laugh the whole time, because all we do is just laugh and joke around.”

Reese — who has two children, 11-year-old daughter Ava and seven-year-old son Deacon, with her ex-husband Ryan PhillippeJim Toth and is engaged to Hollywood agent — recently insisted her Hollywood career will never rule her life.

“I like to take classes, I read a lot – I have a lot of interests so your whole life isn’t just about making movies. That’s a dangerous place to be,” she said.

“As an actress, it would be lovely to think that we’re all Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton who just works endlessly but that’s not true.

“It’s important to cultivate a personal life that makes you just as happy as your professional life and I work really hard on that. I spend time with my kids and my girlfriends. It’s important to enrich yourself in lot of different ways.”
