If you didn’t know, Jacob Jankowski is Polish and speaks a little Polish in ‘Water For Elephants‘. In fact, the Polish language is kinda special in the story

Translation:
R: He has been learning Polish for three weeks.
I: Why?
R: He says he have to speak Polish in his new film. He said ‘podnieś nogę’ in Polish – it means ‘lift your leg up’.
I: It’s quite a weird request.
R He knows and doesn’t mean the interviewer to raise her leg.
I: It’s funny he chose this to tell her.
R: He forgot for a moment what it means in English but now he knows and feels embarrassed. He says it in the scene with an elephant.
I: It explains a lot.

I: In Eclipse there are two main plots: love of Bella and Edward and rivalry of Edward and Jacob.
The trio had to shoot many scenes together. She hopes they get along with each other.
R: They always get along with each other. It’s wonderful what happened to them but success didn’t go to their heads.
Twilight has become a big phenomenon but they were together in it from the start and they supported each other and it’s amazing.

I: She has read he didn’t want to go to the test shooting because he was afraid he was not able to play perfection of Edward.
R: He says that it’s funny because later he decided he would play Edward as so insecure and doubtful about himself as you could only imagine.
I: She asked if the fact he’s British helped.
R: Yeah, definitely. Now when he thinks about it, it seems he played himself.
But it’s funny because everyone thought Edward should be someone with absolute self-confidence all the time.
He never wanted to play him that way and finally everyone accepted it

I: He was named the best dressed man in the world. It’s funny because as a British he rather doesn’t mind what he wears, does he?
R: He doesn’t. He jokes he is wearing the same clothes all the week.
I: A British friend of hers told her once they don’t like when somebody pay attention to what they wear because it’s so shallow and facile.
Is it true?
R: He doesn’t know if it is some British mind-set but he thinks so. He is embarrassed when he is dressed to kill.
He doesn’t like wear new clothes and anything flashy.
I: Last time when she interviewed him he had a ripped jacket. She asked if it was intentionally.
R: He jokes probably it was.
I: It was during Remember Me promotion, it was yellow jacket.
R: He seems not to remember he has the one

I:What does he think about the title the sexiest man alive?
R: He jokes it’s obvious, he thinks there wasn’t any competition.
I: The title seems so silly – “the sexiest man alive”. She says he is British guy so he is supposed to be cynical.
R: Everyone who was named the sexiest in the world made a special interview about it
but he said: no way, I’m won’t make an interview about what is a feeling to be the sexiest man alive.
I: He had to feel idiotic.
R: He said to them: you’re insane. Don’t you see you look like complete morons?
So he didn’t give the interview an thinks and everyone was pissed about it.

I: Do people often think Robert is Edward? That he is the character he plays.
R: He says at the beginning it was frequent. At the fan conventions everyone believed the character stepped from book into real world.
I: Did they call him Edward?
R: Yes, they couldn’t understand they’re normal people.
I: Friends of hers ask their boyfriends: Will you be my Edward?
How did the movie affect his relationships with women? The expectations have to be high.
R: He is coping with it. He likes pressure. It makes him better.

Rob says “lift your leg”/”raise your foot” which is what he says to Rosie! That’s what I put in the caption of the photo above yet I couldn’t catch it…Kinker Tink has no clue what she’s talking about LOL. “Proszę” means “please” according to some Polish speakers in the comments. In fact, the comment section is very educational right now. Thank you @Paranolia @Kymz @_Chinosgirl_ @Tapenada for translation help on Twitter and for the folks below in the comments )
