“I strategically placed mints — like suck on them for a bit and them stick them onto [my] body, my armpits, like covering my entire chest all the time, and [didn’t] tell anyone. So every time the elephant would be like constantly sniffing me, I’d be like, ‘I don’t know! She just really likes me! It’s crazy!’ Yeah, I think she was just sniffing around for treats.” — RPatz explains how he fanned the flames of romance with Tai, his elephant co-star, on the set of “Water for Elephants.” Maybe his subtle minty scent is the reason all the human ladies fall for him too?
