Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon attend London Water For Elephants premiere

Fans at Westfield premiere had queued for two days waiting for them!!

They play lovers on screen but have been increasingly awkward promoting their film together - but Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon put on a crowd-pleasing display of emotional acrobatics at the London premiere of Water For Elephants tonight.
Last night, they were launching the circus-based film in Barcelona, with both looking like they'd rather walk the trapeze unaided than go up the red carpet together.
But tonight at the capital's Westfield shopping centre, they pulled out all the stops to look affectionate with each other. 

Friends again? It looked like the co-stars had made up after their embarrassing fall-out over the filming of their love scenes at the premiere tonight

Reese, 35, made a big show of laughing and joking with her co-star in an off-the-shoulder tight blue dress and nude Louboutin peep toes.
 
Twilight star R-Patz, 24, meanwhile was suitably vampiric in a black suit, black shirt and tie and shiny black shoes
As well as clowning around for the cameras, they even gazed in each other's eyes at one point - a far cry from the Paris premiere at the weekend when the pair could barely raise a smile.

Still, it was the least they could do considering that some fans had queued almost two days to be in the front row for the first night of the film in the UK.
Held at the Vue cinemas in west London's Westfield shopping centre, the movie's circus theme had been borne out with mocked up sawdust rings and T4's Rick Edwards bizarrely acting as ringmaster.
The film is a love story between Reese's and Robert’s characters, in which Robert's veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet.
In the spotlight: The pair appeared much more comfortable together on the red carpet in London than they had over the past couple of days in Paris or Barcelona

It's had a host of positive reviews from the critics too - though Reese recently described filming their romantic scenes were ‘less than appealing’.
She described Pattinson’s ‘runny nose’ during their steamy love scenes and told MTV: ‘It wasn’t appealing. It wasn’t pleasant.’
The quotes got back to Robert too, leaving him deeply embarrassed.

However, the pair seemed to have got over their awkwardness today in time for Robert to greet his hometown fans. 
Other stars at the premiere included a host of reality stars from The Only Way Is Essex, as well as X Factor losers Belle Amie and JLS star Marvin Hume and his Saturdays girlfriend Rochelle Wiseman.
Also dressing up for the premiere in the somewhat unglamorous surroundings of a shopping centre were Camilla Rutherford, Zoe Salmon, Hofit Golan and Noelle Reno.
