Reese Witherspoon Was on Jury Duty After ‘Legally Blonde’ and Got Shocked When Jurors Thought She Was a Real Lawyer: ‘This Is Really Upsetting’

Reese Witherspoon got called for jury duty after "Legally Blonde" and was shocked to find out that her fellow jurors thought she was a real lawyer.

Reese Witherspoon recently revealed on “The Graham Norton Show” (via Entertainment Weekly) that she got the shock of a lifetime when she was called for jury duty years after the release of 2001’s “ Legally Blonde.” But it had nothing to do with the case itself. The Oscar winner found out that her fellow jurors actually thought she was a real lawyer due to her iconic portrayal of Elle Woods. Currently titled “Elle,” the logline for the series states that it “follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first ‘Legally Blonde’ film.” The series hails from creator Laura Kittrell, who will also serve as showrunner and executive producer.
