Hollywood starlet Reese Witherspoon who will soon be seen sharing the screen space with an elephant in her next says that it was one of the most memorable experiences of her career. In the upcoming venture Water For Elephants Witherspoon is portraying the role of Marlena, a circus performer.

 

"It was one of the best experiences of my career. I worked with her for three months just training. I had to get into shape - I had no harness, no safety equipment, nothing," Witherspoon was quoted as saying.

 

"It was literally just me and the elephant and I had to climb onto her. It`s a really beautiful thing where you learn to communicate with a creature non-verbally. She`s the big star of the movie," she added.

 

Meanwhile, the 34-year-old star who is set to marry Hollywood agent Jim Toth revealed that she found love when she followed a friend’s advice to stop chasing men.

 

“A friend said to me that there’s something you learn as you get older – stop chasing after men and start looking at the men that are chasing after you,” Witherspoon said.

 

“That’s a hard thing to recognise but it really rings true with me,” she added.
