My God. Is anyone else having horrific Dumbo flashbacks? This is just the worst. Look at Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon posing next to a gently weeping pachyderm. RPatz is standing just inches away from his tear puddles! (Or trunk blowings, we’re not sure which). Saddest thing ever. Don’t say it’s allergies! It’s never really allergies!

We’re not going to pretend to be elephant experts that know all the reasons they cry. But we’re pretty sure it’s not actually sadness. You’ve seen how those crazy Twihards get hysterical when they see RPatz. Most likely, this brave, heavy-footed creature was just overflowing with glee.

Or, you know, maybe he found this all sorta degrading.
