Reese Witherspoon loved working with an elephant

Reese Witherspoon says working alongside an elephant was one of the best experiences of her career.

London: Reese Witherspoon says working alongside an elephant for new movie `Water For Elephants` was one of the best experiences of her career.

"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," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Witherspoon 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. The film stars Witherspoon as a circus performer whose horse dies, putting her act in jeopardy, until her husband - the circus ringmaster - buys her an elephant. IANS
