Reese Witherspoon Breaks Down Her Most Iconic Roles | PEOPLE

[@tattooedandy93]

She just hasn’t changed. When she smiles makes me feel happy.

[@jodijohnson23]

Agreed. She does have a very comforting and contagious smile.

[@mydogeatspuke]

That's literally the whole point of plastic surgery.

[@jenniferingle6562]

I became obsessed with that Tiffany necklace after Legally Blonde. My husband finally bought it for me for our 25th wedding anniversary. That movie is everything to me.

[@AsmrSoap_Neri]

Me too I bought it as soon as turned 18 and had my first job

[@oliverbrookes3427]

Reece is one of those rare actresses who still has that baby face, such a breath of fresh air and warmth from Reece ❤

[@robind8149]

I very much enjoyed watching this… and shared with my daughter!😉

[@marcia268]

her and Drew Barrymore

[@galmanferguson]

Reese is sunshine trapped in a human body. She's just so full of life and happiness

[@lalareal180]

especially when arrested drunk and tells the cops he is about to KNOW WHO SHE IS!

[@crystalcorker5476]

That is such a beautiful statement and its true❤❤

[@ania5038]

@@lalareal180 I can't help but love her anyway

[@RadicalValkyrie]

Her talking about fangirling over Nicole and doing that inward laugh is so relatable and cute. Love her, she is so genuine. Walk the Line is AMAZING.

[@docproc144]

Walk the Line is one of the greatest biopics ever imo. That’s probably my favorite performance from her. Great film. Johnny Cash is one of favorite artists ever, and Joaquin and Reese really did Johnny and June justice with their performances in that movie. The fact that they actually sang the songs and played the instruments really helped the movie feel more authentic. 🙌

[@ACherryLee]

her bond with Jen is so adorable - seeing them two working together is a blessing ❤

[@MacyIG]

I wish she elaborated more on Sweet Home Alabama. One of my most favourite romcoms ever

[@Laura_Norda]

Yes, they really didn't have much for that one at all ☹️

[@TaylerGibson]

Same!! I was about to add my own comment on that! Lol

[@jensing89]

Such a good movie for pet grief as well.

[@MissVis]

I think it's a shame she doesn't say who it is then. It's Josh Lucas y'all!

[@leahlittleton6554]

I was thinking the same thing ! I wonder why she didn’t . One of my favs

[@sagelovescoffee]

Reese was such a huge influence in my adolescent years. And now as an adult I love the Morning Show! I never want it to end!

[@greatwesternsky]

I've just realised Reece would be perfect for a Dolly Parton biopic.

[@johannag.2932]

Yes!!!!

[@celinepope]

Her or Kirsten Dunst

[@LalaChristmas]

Yes !🎉🎉

[@isabellasoares2858]

Love Reese's work and how she is championing more women-led stories.

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

She’s the true definition of an icon

[@ON-ck9eo]

Legally blonde is her most iconic movie

[@valeria-cy4zp]

She is so cool! You can tell she loves movies and has been giving us performances after performances!

[@vampasha]

She is the sun. Absolute perfection.

[@veesvoyages]

Love her! She exudes so much joy and gratitude!

[@24esjay-24]

I can’t believe they didn’t talk about Fear! That role was an important role for young women to see bc it centered around an unhealthy relationship and young women need to know the importance of walking away before it gets too deep or knowing how to spot red flags! Not to mention it was one of Mark Wahlburg’s first roles!

[@kristagerry8505]

I think that movie is traumatizing for her 🤔 they wanted her to do some inappropriate things for that role! However she stood her ground and they eventually hired a body double!

[@24esjay-24]

@@kristagerry8505 Wow! I didn’t know that. Thanks for the reply!

[@kristagerry8505]

@@24esjay-24 welcome 🙏

[@shawndubbz]

I’m only here for the Fear comment. I wondered the same thing!

[@aya-_-3045]

@@kristagerry8505 The body double never happened. The director forced her to go through with it and she did eventually bc she had no other choice.

[@woin9361]

6:29 this is so beautiful and hearing this made me feel so good ❤❤❤ I was inspired by how supportive Elle’s friends were in this move and it reshaped my view of what female friendships should look like! So happy for all those girls who are following their dreams because of this film

[@ShadowRose1622]

She is so humble!

[@nikmpup]

Check that drunk driving footage

[@YouTubegirl20243]

This is one of my favourite celeb interviews ever. Reese also seems like she'd be pleasant to be around all the time (We all have our bad days), her smile is infectious too 🙂❤

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

Reese is always full of life that brightens a day so this is bliss!

[@alanscopp1114]

Someone else mentioned it but I will again --where's Pleasantville ? I'd love to hear her thoughts on that one, It starts off as a silly fantasy, and blossoms into a beautiful, creative ode to awakening. The whole cast is great and though it's a lightweight role for her, Reese was just perfect.

[@MAXKIDDO8888]

I wish she would’ve talked about Freeway. That movie is so underrated, and she is absolutely hysterical in it. I think it shows how versatile she truly is. She can go from playing Vanessa to then playing someone like Elle Woods.

[@rydbthatsme]

Overnight Delivery also!

[@tharper9549]

Yes! Freeway is definitely her most underrated role!

[@chelspat5920]

Vanessa and Mesquita reunite in Legally Blonde 👀😂

[@armandoucles5346]

She was FANTASTIC in that role!!! She was so badass and gangsta in that film.

[@darnitthelma4247]

Agree freeway is mesmerising!

[@gabby6080]

The Man in the Moon is one of my favorite movies! beautifully tragic

[@dfagula]

She just makes a bad day good !! That’s how I feel about watching her movies.

[@denny8093]

Talented talented talented !! Drama , comedy, singing , film , tv , she is simply a great Talent

[@btetschner]

A+ video! LOVE IT! So great to hear Reese talk about her roles!

[@peaceisnature]

Freeway, Fear, Just like Heaven. All great too. Freeway might be my favourite film she's in.

[@chriswilliams1024]

I’m not going to lie she is a LEGEND

[@ReeseWitherspoon-o2l]

Hello … thanks for the love and support ❤️ it’s nice to meet you on here, I really appreciate you for being a fan and I say a big thank you

[@markfisher2683]

What a wonderfully warm, genuine personality....and a really good actor too......

[@picadillyc]

When they came to Legally Blonde, anyone else finish Elle’s line when Warner asks “you got into Harvard law?” I know I did! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@bryancash9051]

oh i did,I def did lol

[@kleebaggins]

Gosh I admire this woman.

[@SunshineBear1211]

Always loved all Reese movies! We grew up together 🥰🌹

[@markfoley5595]

She's talented beyond words - Her enthusiasm and energy are amazing.

[@mrgonzale0978]

freeway in my opinion is one of her best movies. also love sweet home Alabama and walk the line.

[@darnitthelma4247]

It is!! And pretty unknown 😮

[@teacherlisa163]

Reese Witherspoon is one of the best actresses of our time - quite prolific and always spirited. Her love for acting shows in the way she fully immerses herself in the lives she plays. She becomes them and yet, they are also a bit of her own spirit. She is very smart, talented, gracious, and joyful. I applaud her successes and am very happy for her! It will be interesting to see the paths her children choose.

[@pb.j.1753]

Wild is underrated and one of the most touching dramas ever.

[@SpringSun-ll5bm]

Whenever I feel sad I always watch Legally Blonde❤️❤️

[@yannhollister9091]

Such an icon, this woman is severely underrated

[@krystaleelaucys3792]

there’s nothing underrated about her at all.. she’s an A list celeb

[@mydogeatspuke]

She is incredibly highly rated. By everyone. Underrated definitely doesn't mean what you think it does 🙄🙄

[@anshsingh2044]

Cruel intentions, Fear, Legally blonde, Man and the moon are some of my favorite ls ❤

[@stephbli1337]

Love Reese she's so cute but smart. She is so relatable!

[@rydbthatsme]

She and Jen both have aged so gracefully it's almost ridiculous lol

[@mydogeatspuke]

Lmao what does that even mean? They've both had plenty of work done, it's just been conservative rather than the horrific over the top stuff you usually see. No grace about it, just lots of money and respectable surgeons.

[@FarmerJAB]

Surgeons

[@ArikLensher]

Reese ohh she's very talented, lovely and beautiful I knew since saw her in 'Fear' she's the greatest

[@heatherusher-h1x]

i've loved her since man on the moon (my heart is still broken!) omg i love reese!

What a really lovely video. She seems to be extremely grounded. My favourite movies of hers are Sweet Home Alabama (with Josh Lucas) and ‘Home’. I love Home!

Reese's smile is so wholesome.

[@SimbaRobyn]

She is just the cutest! ❤

[@lucamonacchi552]

Eternal beautiful smile ❤❤❤

[@Milos-sj6ir]

Reese is a literal ray of sunshine. Also, as a huge Kidman fan, it warms my heart the way she fangirls over her. Women supporting women. Plus, she's so f-in funny, the way she acts out every line.

[@JayDoesRoblox]

6:11 Elle is also just a kind and sweet character in addition to being smart. Too often hollywood loves to make women's characters be based on looks. Any other writer could have taken Elle and made her mean or vindictive towards Vivian but didn't. Love that about LB.

[@hayleymayvans8842]

Reece you are an angel ❤

[@mikeyd946]

All these movies are the best ❤

[@armandoucles5346]

A film she made when she was a teenager that introduced me to her was "A Far Of Place". I still think about that film 30 plus years later and she was awesome in it.

[@rebeccag8589]

Yes, I recently re-watched it! It was very moving even as an adult, and very nostalgic.

[@viviannaallen7316]

Love, Love Reese❣️❣️ Everyone of HER movies❤❤❤❤

No. Why do people always go on with ‘looks exactly like’ nonsense?

[@louisew.6955]

I just look at a picture of "Walk the Line" and I cry. Every time. The music and the love story are so important to me. They both did such an incredible job ... I've seen this movie about 50 times by now

[@keltait]

i love stars being starstruck by other stars. so lovely

When all the roles they talk about are iconic and they still even miss some really great ones. 😍

[@michelepost693]

Reece is Awesome ❤

[@RosieYogi40]

I’m not a big rom com fan but I have seen Sweet Home Alabama an obscene amount of times. Melanie Lynsky stole every seen she was in even though this is about Reese 😅

[@williamtendo7835]

I love what she has done with "Hello Sunshine" -her production company that started as a book club.. and now buys book licensing @ auction and gets first rights of refusal to option them for movies/series with an automatic Executive producer credit+ she can star in it.. #Genius for an actor & her IMDB is 👌🏽💯😊

[@wheresbaby7783]

She gives a great interview
