London, May 1 (IANS) Actor Robert Pattinson thinks he has an old-fashioned body because the 1930s clothes he wore in ‘Water for Elephants’ fitted him so well.

The 24-year-old actor is playing a young vet opposite Reese Witherspoon in the upcoming movie because he always wanted to star in a 1930s film, reports contactmusic.com.

‘I always wanted to do a movie that was set in the 1930s as I love the clothes they wore. And then this came along,’ he said.

‘The wardrobe was amazing – all authentic stuff and everything I tried on fitted perfectly. I must have an old-fashioned body or something, as the clothes suited me better than regular ones,’ he added.
