Robert Pattinson's Bloody Elephant Hand

He’s been hard at work on his new movie “Water for Elephants,” and yesterday (July 28) Robert Pattinson looked to be sporting a brand new injury.

The “Remember Me” stud appeared a bit roughed up as he strolled around the Los Angeles set of the film in between scenes, wearing a bandage on his hand to cover up a bloody cut - which is said to have been caused by a lion bite.

As for his continued work with Kristen Stewart in the “Twilight” films, Robert told press, “Kristen is always really good but also clearly speaks her mind. That can be a bit uncomfortable”

“After we shoot a scene she sometimes looks at the director and says, ‘Let’s do that again.’ If I did that she would probably kill me! She would probably say something like, ‘Shut up! The scene was perfect!’”

Below are pictures of Robert Pattinson with his bitten hand on the set of "Water for Elephants" (July 28).
