I have an old-fashioned body, says Robert Pattinson

London: `Twilight` hunk Robert Pattinson thinks he has an "old-fashioned" body and so he jumped at the chance to work in the movie `Water For Elephants`.

The 24-year-old star who plays a young vet in the movie opposite Reese Witherspoon has always wanted to work in a 1930`s film and was astonished at how well he suited the costumes, reported Contactmusic. "I must have an old-fashioned body or something, as the clothes suited me better than regular ones. I always wanted to do a movie that was set in the 1930s as I love the clothes they wore. And then this came along," he said. Pattinson enjoyed working with his Oscar winning co-star and was delighted at how supportive she was. "When you meet people who have won an Oscar, you think they`re going to be off in their own little world, but Reese was incredibly kind and supportive," Pattinson said. PTI
