Robert Pattinson Poses with Alligator for April Vanity Fair Cover

Robert Pattinson poses with an alligator on the April 2011 cover of Vanity Fair, Gossip Cop is told.


Legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz shot pics of the superstar for the mag’s cover story, which is tied to the release of Pattinson’s upcoming film Water for Elephants.


As for the four-foot reptile, Pattinson’s alligator pal is a nod to the Louisiana set of Breaking Dawn.


In the profile, sources tell Gossip Cop, Pattinson does not discuss his relationship with Kristen Stewart.


Mostly, we hear that Pattinson comes across as a genuinely good guy and reluctant star.


Reps for Vanity Fair and Leibovitz did not get back to us.


Vanity Fair will be on newsstands on March 3
