Justin Trudeau Resigns as Canadian Prime Minister: A Political Earthquake

He met and fell in love with his leading lady when he began filming the Twilight series of films two years ago.

And here Robert Pattinson is again snuggling up close to his female lead on the set of his new and upcoming flick.

But Kristen Stewart can breathe a sigh of relief as the kiss with Reese Witherspoon is just part of a re-shoot of scenes for their new movie Water For Elephants.

And Reese, 34, has her own leading man in the shape of Hollywood agent Jim Toth, who proposed to the Legally Blonde star over Christmas.

She and Pattison were called back to re-do some scenes for the film, which is based on the novel by Sara Gruen.

And they were probably surprised to be called back as the film as they thought they had wrapped a few months ago as it is due for release in April.

And going on these pictures, the pair were called back to re-shoot some scenes in the Big Top - including some kissing ones outside.

The pair have been back on the set for the past few days to make amends to scenes shot several months ago.

They filmed the movie over the summer, in between Pattinson's shooting schedule for the Twilight saga.

Water For Elephants tells the story of circus performer Marlena Rosenbluth and Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student who joins the circus when his parents die during the Great Depression.

The pair fall in love even though Marlena is married to the circus animals' head trainer August Rosenbluth, played by Christopher Waltz, who is brutal to both the animals and the people who work for him, and beats the couple when he discovers their affair.

These scenes were shot at the weekend when Pattinson was snapped walking round set with a fake bruise on his face.

And while his charms might not be enough for Reese - thankfully for Miss Stewart - she has been singing her co-star's praises.

She also laughed at all the Twilight and Edward Cullen - the character he plays in the films - fans that arrived on set early every day.

She said: 'He was wonderful, he's a really great actor. He just has an incredible work ethic. He works so hard and it was really fun.
