Christoph Waltz may be best known for his Oscar-winning turn in Inglorious Basterds, but he’s taking on another famous villain with his portrayal of August in Water For Elephants, which hits theaters Friday. We caught up with the Austrian-born actor at the film’s recent press day.

He talks about uncovering the dark side in his characters, how Robert Pattinson handles his fame, and Reese Witherspoon’s impressive stunt work on set.

Christoph also clears up what’s real and what’s rumor when it comes to his upcoming roles, and whether bringing a literary figure to life on the big screen is a special kind of challenge. Check out our interview with him above, and stay tuned next week for our latest installment of I’m a Huge Fan, as our latest winner gets the chance to meet Reese in person!

Here are some new video interviews with “Water For Elephants” director where he talks about directing Robert’s in a new music video and support from twitter fans.

Here’s the video of Reese Witherspoon on “Regis & Kelly Show” promoting “Water For Elephants” whereby she mentions Robert & Tai, the elephant on the show.

We all know what Reese Witherspoon thought about kissing Robert Pattinson, saying recently “it wasn’t appealing,” when describing what it was like to film their love scene in Water for Elephants while Rob had a cold. But Reese wasn’t the only actress lucky enough to share a kiss with Rob!

Actress Donna Scott tells OK! her racy scene with Rob was nothing short of wonderful.

“I did kiss him!” says Donna, who plays sexy — and occasionally topless — circus performer Barbara, who has a drunken tryst with Rob’s character Jacob and another performer. “It was wonderful. It was very sweet. My character’s bawdy, so it was a lot of fun to get to do that and I think his response to me being bawdy was genuine… It was perfect.”

Here’s the video of Robert Pattinson on the “Regis and Kelly Show” for the promotion of his new movie, “Water For Elephants” on April 17, 2011.
