never too late... (from March)

Though he may not be able to escape Twihards - the legion of obsessive Twilight followers - Robert Pattinson takes a short break from the series with the release of "Water for Elephants", in theaters on April 22. Based on the best-selling novel by Sara Gruen about a traveling circus during the Great Depression, the film tells the story of Jacob Jankowski, played by Pattinson, and his love affair with circus performer Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Pattinson's other co-stars include exotic animals, so it's no surprise the actor was comfortable posing with an alligator for the cover of Vanity Fair's April issue.

VF.com went behind the scenes at the shoot, asking expert stylist Sally Hershberger which Sally Hershberger and Kiehl's grooming products she used to get Pattinson camera ready.
