Robert Pat­tin­son stood inches from me. Reese With­er­spoon and Christoph Waltz, both Oscar win­ners, were only feet away. Directly in front of me, and behind the cam­era, sat Rodrigo Pri­eto, an Oscar-nominated direc­tor of photography.

I should have been com­pletely awestruck at the level of tal­ent that sur­rounded me. Yet the only thing I could truly focus on was my aching feet and legs due to the flat slip­pers the wardrobe depart­ment had given me to wear – and hav­ing to stand on them for hours on end.

Play­ing the Tall Man, a non-speaking, featured-extra role in the film “Water for Ele­phants” proved to be equal parts fun and exhausting.

Based on the pop­u­lar book of the same name by Sara Gruen, the story is about a young man who joins a Depression-era cir­cus. I was cast as a part of a group of sideshow per­form­ers that included a midget, Wolf­boy, the Fat Lady, the Strong Man and a cou­ple of contortionists.

My job was to be present in the back­ground and, in some cases, right up next to the lead actors. I sup­pose my claim to fame was the scene in which I and a few other men phys­i­cally shoved Pat­tin­son to the front of a group of cir­cus work­ers so that he could be prop­erly “ini­ti­ated” into the cir­cus life by being sprayed with water, pelted with pies and kissed by the showgirls.

But there were other scenes, too, includ­ing one on the sleep­ing car of the train, another when I stood with Pat­tin­son and a few oth­ers and watched With­er­spoon cavort with an elephant.

Two of Hollywood’s biggest stars are filming a movie in Chattanooga and north Georgia. The movie is called “Water for Elephants,” and Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson are the stars.

There are a lot of rumors swirling around, but we’ve heard that Witherspoon and Pattinson will film at a home south of Chickamauga Friday morning. We went to that home where we found a security guard keeping fans off the property. Fans took pictures, and stood around to take in the soon to be set of a major Hollywood film.

Pam Wallace and her family drove from Rossville to catch a glimpse of Pattinson, who shot to fame as the vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight Saga”

“I love him. I love the Twilight movies!” said Wallace.

Family members of the homeowners tell us the house will be Robert Pattinson’s character’s childhood home. They’ve been working with the movie company for about a month renovating the house.

There isn’t a single actor of the current time so idolized as he: “Twilight”-Vampire Robert Pattinson. On Thursday the new film starts, right ahead of its release he speaks about fame, elephants, and the “first time”.

Rob, you could be crowned the most famous actor in the world right now. How do you deal with this strangeness?
There are good and bad days. I often wish I wouldn’t react in such panic. But I believe I can separate jobs from private life very well. So far my ego still hasn’t been injured!

Currently, it is surely not simple to be Robert Pattinson. Can you believe what all has happened in the past two years?
Honestly, I have always said that it’s a subjective glimpse of the whole. For me everything feels the same as before, but there are a few aspects of my life that are completely different. I would just like to not admit that it has taken over my entire life. For myself, in my head, it’s the same as it was in the old days; I also have the exact same friends.

You are 24 and, as it is, can’t be anywhere without bodyguards at the door. Doesn’t it stink to you that you can’t lead a normal life?
Sometimes. But then I remember how my normal life was: boring.

Where do you live now, in London or in L.A.? Do you perhaps have a home?
No, I don’t. My “apartment” consists of three suitcases, out of which I live. Inside of them is everything that I need.

Isn’t that a very lonely life?
I work constantly, so I am always surrounded by people who ask me questions or give me instructions. That’s why I enjoy it if I can do something for myself. I don’t have any problems with having a two-month long period with no one to speak to.

How do you sympathize with Edward in respect to women? Is he the knight in shining armor about whom we apparently all still dream?
I hear often that this story is too old-fashioned and encourages women to take on subservient roles. I don’t think that at all! Even when Bella sometimes has moments of helplessness, she is still only a fictional character. What are we coming to, if every fictional film character is automatically a role model for our society!

“Twilight” represents very old-fashioned values. Bella and Edward first go to bed with each other after their marriage. Are you also against sex before marriage?
I believe rather, that everyone has sex before marriage (laughs)—then and now. I also don’t believe that girls ‘must respect themselves’ or that boys only want ‘the one’. If you behave like a gentleman, because chastity really suits you—okay. But if you take it for the newest fad in the dating world, then it’s rather off the mark.

You said once, you find that the saga, without sex, is sexy…
Yeah, I think so. Every one of us knows the time, before something happens between a couple, when you’re still totally insecure: Does the other person like me or not? That is definitely the riskiest time! This moment can last an eternity. To this sweet uncertainty also comes anxiety, especially if it’s the first time for both people. I believe this worry stirs up desire. And in this case, the period of desire lasts almost four books.

You are currently shooting “Water for Elephants” with the Austrian Christoph Waltz. How are you getting along with him?
Christoph is stunning, an insanely nice guy. He is not only a ridiculously good actor, he is also really funny, helpful, and a good colleague. I like his work ethic. I mean, the guy has won an Oscar—and despite that he is receptive, open-minded, and not the least bit snooty. And Reese Witherspoon is the same. It may be the nicest cast that I have worked with yet—a really great experience.

You seem to only work. What would the perfect day look like for you?
Recently I stood in the desert, far outside of L. A., and watched the sun set on a circus tent from 1930. Everywhere stood animals: elephants, tigers that should be loaded into a steam train. 300 extras in costumes raced around, the modern world had disappeared totally. Although that was totally fake, it still happened directly before my eyes! That was my perfect day. I would be gladly experience that every day. It happens continually to me: It calls itself work. That is wonderful and more than enough.

There are some major perks of having famous parents – just ask Ava Phillippe.

The 10-year-old, whose parents are Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, got what countless Twi-Hards can only hope for: A chance to meet Robert Pattinson.

Witherspoon, 34, who’s working with the Twilight heartthrob on Water for Elephants, introduced her daughter to Pattinson, 24, Thursday on the movie’s Piru, Calif., set.

“Ava seemed especially excited to meet him,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE, who also notes that younger brother Deacon, 6, chatted with the British actor.

“The filming with Rob is going really well,” adds an on-set source “and Reese was excited for the kids to meet him.”

But Witherspoon isn’t the only cool mom in Hollywood. Teri Hatcher recently helped her daughter meet another star who causes commotion wherever he goes – Justin Bieber.
