Well Reese Witherspoon, you did want a big co-star...

No, not petite Reese Witherspoon but Tai, her Indian elephant co-star in the new film Water For Elephants.

Mother-of-two Reese, 35, and 9,000lb Tai developed a close bond working together on the set. And the two were pictured for the cover of the May issue of American Vogue.

Wearing a sequin and tulle overlay dress from Dior and sporting retro curls, the elegant actress shows she doesn’t at all mind sharing centre stage with her plus-size co-star.
