这段有惊无险的插曲让罗伯特立刻成为了剧组和同剧演员的娱乐，这位内部人员透露，大伙一下子喷地一下都笑了出来，特别是瑞茜-威瑟斯彭，她笑得更是上气不接下气。
He told the group: "I'm just glad she didn’t roll on top of me!"
罗伯特告诉他们：“她没将我灭顶真是太好了。”
A source said: "The script called for the elephant to step forward while swinging her trunk from side to side, but Rosie got her signals mixed up. Instead, she sat down on her big butt, lifted her front legs – then rolled over. Before anyone could react, Robert slid right down the elephant's back. It could have been a disaster if she'd rolled over on him – but he got lucky, landing face first in a pile of dirt and mud. He was filthy, but unharmed."
