That's literally the whole point of plastic surgery.
Reese is sunshine trapped in a human body. She's just so full of life and happiness

especially when arrested drunk and tells the cops he is about to KNOW WHO SHE IS!
Reece is one of those rare actresses who still has that baby face, such a breath of fresh air and warmth from Reece ❤

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

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

I was thinking the same thing ! I wonder why she didn’t . One of my favs
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.
her bond with Jen is so adorable - seeing them two working together is a blessing ❤
She’s the true definition of an icon
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.
Love Reese's work and how she is championing more women-led stories.
Legally blonde is her most iconic movie
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. 🙌
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!

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!

@@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.
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!
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.
She is so cool! You can tell she loves movies and has been giving us performances after performances!
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 🙂❤
She is so humble!
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.

Agree freeway is mesmerising!
She is the sun. Absolute perfection.
Reese is always full of life that brightens a day so this is bliss!
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
The Man in the Moon is one of my favorite movies! beautifully tragic
What a wonderfully warm, genuine personality....and a really good actor too......
Love her! She exudes so much joy and gratitude!
Freeway, Fear, Just like Heaven. All great too. Freeway might be my favourite film she's in.
We love Resse Witherspoon
Gosh I admire this woman.
Wild is underrated and one of the most touching dramas ever.
Legally Blonde was life-changing for me.
Nothing about Pleasantville???
A+ video! LOVE IT! So great to hear Reese talk about her roles!
i've loved her since man on the moon (my heart is still broken!) omg i love reese!
Genetics are wild because Man on the Moon Reese looks exactly like her son.
Such an icon, this woman is severely underrated

She’s lovely. Seems like she’s the best friend ever
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 😅
so grateful for reese witherspoon. didn’t even realize i’ve seen mostly all of her movies. can’t believe man in the moon was her first, amazing!!
When they came to Legally Blonde, anyone else finish Elle’s line when Warner asks “you got into Harvard law?” I know I did! 🙋🏻♀️

How can anyone not love Reese, she is such a lovely person and amazing woman.
Reese ohh she's very talented, lovely and beautiful I knew since saw her in 'Fear' she's the greatest
When all the roles they talk about are iconic and they still even miss some really great ones. 😍
She and Jen both have aged so gracefully it's almost ridiculous lol

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.
Always a sweetheart!
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.
Nicole won all the acting awards for Big Little Lies but I thought Reese was equally deserving. It's a challenging role to pull off.

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!
She is just the cutest! ❤
All these movies are the best ❤
I love her so much! Fan for life!
Reece is Awesome ❤
Whenever I feel sad I always watch Legally Blonde❤️❤️
We love Reese 🫶
Love her! Legally blonde was an amazing and inspiring movie
I love how her southern accent comes in and out haha
Love Reese. I attempt to watch anything she does!
So good. She seems like one of the most likeable people in Hollywood
She will never age. She is immortal.
Her movies are awesome ❤
Freeway is one of my movies of hers, sucks they didn’t mention it.
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 👌🏽💯😊
I don’t think anything will ever be Legally Blonde. Seriously so good.
love her so much from day 1, geeez 😍
Super love her. Shes the best
REESE IS A ICON!
Legally Blonde is the role I always remember her for. That movie was very good!
8:15 princess of the people ❤ I love her the more I listen! I’m so glad she got to live out her country diva dream through that role
She is as beautiful as ever! She still looks the same. One of the few celebs who hasn’t gotten a ton of plastic surgery
Love her 🫶🏼
Would have loved to hear more about sweet home alabama and her acting with patrick dempsey. Its my favorite roll of hers!
I've read the books in her book club. So good!
Amazing actress ❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE the morning show!
Wild is the best movie she made. Awesome story. ❤
She chose so many interesting roles!
What a career ❤
I love that she does a slightly more southern impression of *herself*.
I would have loved to hear more about Sweet Home Alabama, and something about Fear. Both amazing roles of hers!
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
love her so much!
Reese please do a movie about Dolly's life, play her!

I love it far off place. It’s my favorite Reese Witherspoon movie from when she was really young.
election is my FAVORITE movie i love her so much
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.

Wow! Reese's first role was in "The Man in the Moon" from 1991!
What a career she's had! Wow!
Aw man. Reese Witherspoon, what a woman. Ive never been an actor, but PLEASE BELIEVE, I have definitely played Elle Woods 😂
People doing a lot of "breaking down"this week!😂
I swear, Reese Witherspoon is the ONLY female actor where I would own basically EVERYTHING they've ever been in. She's AMAZING. I can't wait to see what else she performs in!! ❤
REESE AND HER DAUGHTER LOOK SO ALIKE!
