The weather in Los Angeles has been scorching so no one would blame Reese Witherspoon for feeling the hit.
And when you throw into the equation Hollywood's hottest heart-throb Robert Pattinson, it's no wonder she was demanding water between takes.
The pair were on the set of Water For Elephants where they have been on a punishing schedule, filming 12 hours-a-day, five days a week since May.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 24, plays Jacob Jankowski – an orphaned veterinary student who is put in charge of a circus.
There he meets Marlena, played by Witherspoon, the beautiful star of the equestrian act.
Despite the age gap between Robert and Reese, 34, they play lovers in the film.
Written by Oscar-nominated Richard LaGravenese, who also wrote P.S, I Love You and Freedom Writers, Water For Elephants is set in the early Thirties during the Great Depression.

This not the first time the pair have co-starred together
In 2004, Pattinson played Witherspoon’s son in Vanity Fair before becoming one of the world's biggest teen heart-throb.
Describing their previous working relationship, the actress said: ‘I remember he was verrrrry [sic] handsome! I was like, “I have a really handsome son!”
'I had to sob and cry all over him, but he was great.’
Now that he’s one of Hollywood’s leading men, Witherspoon introduced her daughter Ava, 10, and son Deacon, 6, to him because they’re huge Twilight fans.
‘Ava seemed especially excited to meet him,' a source told People magazine. 'The filming with Rob is going really well and Reese was excited for the kids to meet him.’
